This 15-acre luxury mountain cabin in Fort Garland offers uncompromising privacy and total self-sufficiency. Positioned to capture direct, unobstructed views of Mount Blanca and the Sangre de Cristo range, the property works as a premier getaway or a full-time residence. There is no HOA. Wildlife moves through regularly, and the land sits in a genuinely private setting.
The residence is constructed entirely from imported South Carolina cypress — a material prized for its structural longevity, natural insect resistance, and decades-long durability against moisture and rot. Over 1,400 square feet of decking surrounds the home, including a 1,046-square-foot covered section and 412 square feet of open deck.
Inside, Australian cypress floors run throughout the 3,614-square-foot layout. The main living area is anchored by a professional-grade kitchen featuring Schrock cherry wood cabinetry, a commercial refrigerator, a Beverage Cooler, and a Fisher & Paykel stove. Climate control is engineered for redundancy: a four-zone radiant in-floor heating system, a pellet stove, a gas fireplace, and a wood-burning fireplace.
The primary suite is a private retreat with its own fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a spa bathroom featuring a shower with wall jets and a rain shower head. High-efficiency TOTO 1.2-gallon flush toilets are installed across all three bathrooms. A 576-square-foot garage with a 285-square-foot loft connects to the main house via a covered breezeway. An attached 372-square-foot greenhouse is framed and ready for final siding.
The infrastructure is built for autonomous living. Power comes from dual solar arrays, a brand-new wind turbine, and a Kohler 12kW backup generator. An 850-foot well feeds a 1,500-gallon cistern with a pump saver. The basement and crawl space are fully encapsulated, and a 500-gallon propane tank is included.
