7865 Platten Road

Spectacular off-grid mountain cabin in the woods! This 2-bed, 3/4-bath retreat offers your own slice of Rocky Mountain heaven. The 1,200-sq-ft framed cabin features picture windows with breathtaking views in every direction—anchored by a stunning vista of Mt. Blanca and the Sangre de Cristo Range. Designed for independent living, the home is fully off-grid with a complete solar system (panels, batteries, inverters, generator) for sustainable, green living. New solar batteries installed in 2026. Built in 2010 with exceptional craftsmanship, highlights include vaulted ceilings, beetle-kill and aspen wood accents, earth-toned tile and laminate flooring throughout, and solid hickory cabinets in the kitchen, dining room and bath. The house was re-stained in 2025.  There is a separate 13x27 guest cabin (1 bed/1 bath—ready to be finished), a 9x7 greenhouse, and a spacious 20x32 carport with a metal roof and concrete stem wall—can be easily enclosed for a garage. The property offers septic, a 1,200-gallon cistern, and optional water transport equipment. The storage area beneath the rear deck has potential for use as a laundry room. Tucked into a thick pine forest in the Sangre de Cristo Ranches, owners enjoy access to 4,500 acres of common land for hiking, hunting, biking, and endless outdoor recreation. Make this your dream home or an investment property.
