About 11975 US Highway 50
Your Colorado Cabin Dream Begins Here – 54 Private Acres with Lake Views It starts with a simple turn off the main road, where the views open to reveal a picturesque 54-acre sanctuary overlooking the sparkling waters of Blue Mesa Reservoir. Just five minutes from Lake Fork Marina, this private escape was thoughtfully built in 2015 by respected local craftsman Keith Wiggins—designed not just as a structure, but as a gateway to a simpler, more connected life in the Colorado mountains. Step inside the cozy one-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin and you’ll find warm wood accents, a wood stove ready to chase away crisp evening air, and electric baseboard heat for low-maintenance comfort. The kitchen features both gas and electric stoves for added cooking flexibility. Wrapped in durable HardiePlank siding and built to last, it’s the kind of place where you kick off your boots and truly exhale. Outside, 54 acres of usable land roll gently toward expansive views and open skies. A high-producing 30 GPM well is already in place. There’s room to park your RV, build additional structures, or simply sit and enjoy the peace that only this kind of space can bring. Internet is available, but you might just forget to log on—nature has a way of pulling you in here. The real magic? The location. This property sits near the shores of Blue Mesa Reservoir—the largest body of water in Colorado and part of the Curecanti National Recreation Area. You’ll be minutes from Gold Medal trout fishing, kayaking, boating, hiking Curecanti Creek and Pine Creek trails, or spotting elk and eagles from your own porch. Whether you're seeking a basecamp for adventure, a weekend retreat, or the future site of your dream home, this rare offering invites you to slow down, explore more, and experience Colorado as it was meant to be—wild, beautiful, and entirely your own.
