About This Home

2300 Usfs 729 Road

Welcome to Quiet Valley Escape—an off-grid mountain sanctuary located near the summit of Spring Creek Pass on Forest Service Road 729. Tucked deep in nature and offering year-round access (by snowmobile or snowcat in winter), this one-of-a-kind retreat promises peace, privacy, and unmatched scenery. Set on a stunning parcel where Cebolla Creek winds through a quarter mile of the land, the cabin sits with wide-open meadows in front and aspen- and pine-covered hills rising behind. With no crowds, no HOA, and only two other private parcel owners in the entire area, this is a place where silence, starry skies, and the rhythms of the wild take center stage. The cabin itself offers 2,177 square feet of comfortable, well-planned living space. The main level features a spacious owner’s suite with a private ensuite bathroom, a generous kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook, a bar counter, and expansive picture windows that bring in both light and sweeping views. The kitchen opens to a vaulted great room with tongue-and-groove ceilings and a stunning floor-to-ceiling river rock hearth, complete with matching built-in bench seating and a cozy wood stove. Upstairs, you'll find two large guest bedrooms, a full bathroom, and even more natural light and beautiful vistas from every window. Built for sustainable mountain living, the home is fully off-grid—powered by solar panels with battery storage and a backup generator. Heat comes from a combination of propane and wood, and water is supplied by a high-producing private well. Despite its remote setting, the property offers modern amenities and year-round comfort. Step outside and you’re greeted by a substantial wrap-around deck—the perfect place to enjoy views of the mountains, spot local wildlife, listen to the creek, or take in the dark night skies unspoiled by light pollution. Two outdoor sheds offer storage for tools, toys, or gear. The land borders National Forest, opening up endless opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching, hunting, and more right out your back door. A standout feature of Quiet Valley is the exclusive right, shared only among the four property owners, to fish both sides of the Cebolla Creek—providing up to a mile of quality private fishing. There is no homeowners' association, only simple covenants in place to preserve the area’s natural integrity and fishing rights. Quiet Valley Escape offers a rare opportunity to own a true retreat—where rugged independence meets modern comfort, and where the pace of life is set by the seasons, not the clock. Whether you're seeking a seasonal escape or a legacy property to share with family, this is a place you must experience,
