If Jeremiah Johnson, Sir Wesley Powell, or Kit Carson were alive today, they would without question pick this ''mountain-top haven'' to build their dream home! If you are thirsting for that feeling of isolation and privacy, yet you desire a 30 minute drive to Vail or Beaver Creek, look no further. This 21 acres is as close to heaven as you can get, 14er Mountain of the Holy Cross and 13er Homestake Peak, and a half dozen other mountain tops feel close enough to touch. After 2 hard years of preparation, a full acre was thoughtfully carved out of the forest with a nice wide, level, driveway crowned with crushed gravel. Several more areas were designed-prepared for either a barn or large garage. Come watch the clouds dance over the peaks, or, a beautiful western sunset......either way, this property will leave you speechless! Historic Ski Cooper and Piney Nordic Center are a mere 2-3 miles up the road, and the famed Chicago Ridge connects just above this property, where the brave men of the 10th Mountain Division trained for WW2, and, today, hard core skiers blow thru knee to waist deep champagne powder snow cat skiing. This area offers the best of Colorado outdoor adventures! Start living large and build your legacy ''mountain top cabin in the woods'' today, nothing is stopping you but your imagination! The north side of the parcel borders US Forest Land, so your playground just increased immensely!
