Elk Ridge Springs Tucked into a thick pocket of oak brush along Elk Ridge Trail, this old log cabin sits in the kind of country seasoned hunters recognize immediately. With National Forest bordering the property, you can step off the porch and hunt into thousands of acres of public ground, no trailering, no crowds, just straight into elk country. The surrounding oak brush and ponds provide ideal bedding and transition habitat, naturally holding wildlife in the immediate area. This is the kind of terrain where bulls stage, feed, and move through consistently, making it a highly effective setup for both archery and rifle seasons. Elk, mule deer and black bear frequent this corridor, drawn by the cover, feed, and reliable water source. in unit 63 there are 2 rifle elk seasons that are over the counter. The archery elk tag can be drawn easily and right now there has been leftover tags available to buy through the season for non-residents. Mule deer tags all have to be drawn. The cabin itself is a true throwback, rustic, weathered, and built for function over frills. It's the kind of place where early mornings start before daylight and evenings end around a fire, swapping stories after a long day in the field. Dated back to the early 80's the old cabin will need some work. There is a little settling on one end which may be due to the bottom log on the porch side has seen a few snow melts that have rotted it out a bit. A natural spring, piped directly to the cabin, adds to the property's usability and appeal, an increasingly rare feature in these mountain settings. Combined with the oak brush habitat and proximity to public land, it creates a well-rounded hunting basecamp. There are a couple of storage sheds and a privy. This may also be a nice small investment property. Access to the cabin is seasonal by vehicle. There is no winter road maintenance. Snowmobiles or tracked utv are typically used in the winter. With the neighboring Elk Ridge Cabin already sold, opportunities to own in this stretch are few and far between. If you're looking for a no-nonsense Colorado hunting cabin with real habitat, real access, and real potential, Elk Ridge Springs checks the boxes. The cabin sits in Cathedral Peak Ranch, which is a ranch association with annual dues and covenants.
