Land with Home for Sale in Grant, Colorado
49756 Highway 285, Grant, CO 80448
Located in Grant, Colorado, this riverfront mountain retreat offers rare private access to the North Fork of the South Platte River. Set on nearly two acres of flat, fully fenced land, the updated cabin backs directly to the river and includes a private gate for easy water access—ideal for spring fishing, wildlife viewing, and relaxing by the water as the seasons change. Tucked just off Highway 285 for reliable year-round access, the property remains quiet and private while still offering quick convenience to Bailey for shopping, dining, and everyday essentials. As spring arrives, the meadow greens up and wildlife activity increases, creating a peaceful and scenic mountain setting. Inside, the cabin features warm beetle-kill pine accents and original hardwood flooring that reflect classic Colorado character. The efficient galley kitchen includes all appliances and opens into a comfortable living and sleeping area. Heating is handled by a newer remote-controlled gas stove along with a wall furnace in the kitchen. The updated ¾ bath is accessed through a modern barn door. Recent improvements include new siding (2018), new windows and doors (2019), and a sliding glass door leading to a newer 16’ x 10’ partially covered wood patio overlooking a meadow frequently visited by wildlife. Extensive fire mitigation has been completed. Additional features include two sheds (one with electricity), a heated pump house, owned propane tank, updated 1,000-gallon septic system with new line and cleanouts, and ample flat parking. Located in historic Grant just minutes from Pike National Forest and within walking distance to The Shaggy Sheep, this property offers a versatile mountain getaway, rental, or future build opportunity with true river frontage—an increasingly rare find along the South Platte corridor.
