Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Livermore, Colorado

Secluded mountain retreat featuring a ridge-top cabin, diverse timber, and abundant wildlife habitat. With a spring-fed pond, year-round creek, and a well-balanced mix of forest and open ground, this property offers both scenic beauty and recreational opportunity—ideal for a private getaway or year-round mountain living.

Land

This 70± acre property features incredibly diverse terrain and cover. A well-managed stand of ponderosa pines surrounds the ridge-top cabin, with a healthy balance of old-growth and younger age class trees that creates a beautiful, park-like setting. To the north of the cabin, the landscape gradually transitions from ponderosa into a mixed stand of spruce and fir, along with an aspen grove that encircles a year-round, spring-fed pond. Heading south from the cabin, a well-maintained trail leads down to approximately a quarter mile of Trail Creek flowing through the property. The creek supports a healthy population of brook trout and serves as a natural draw for a wide variety of wildlife. Over the years, the property has been home to an abundance of species, including elk, moose, mule deer, black bears, bobcats, and the occasional mountain lion—making it an exceptional retreat for nature enthusiasts and outdoorsmen alike.
