Deckers Mountain Retreat

Deckers Mountain Retreat is a 27 acres off-grid retreat less than a mile above the legendary Gold-Medal waters of the South Platte River in Deckers, CO. The secluded mountain property directly borders the vast expanse of National Forest on nearly every side and offers boundless opportunities for outdoor adventure and recreation. Views of the surrounding mountain peaks from the pre-excavated building site are spectacular. The property is located less than an hour from Denver, a quick drive for outdoor enthusiasts that want the ultimate Colorado mountain lifestyle.

World-class fly fishing awaits on the South Platte River, a mere 5-minute drive from the property, accessible by a private and gated National Forest road. With miles of direct river access, you can cast your line or set out on a rafting excursion whenever you please. For hunters, the area provides a thriving Elk and Mule Deer population, offering prime big-game opportunities throughout the fall season.

The property is primed for development with a variety of existing infrastructure, including a well, septic system, established roads and bridges, storage shed, solar power materials, and a pre-excavated building site. As a bonus, a clean, ready-to-use camper is also included, allowing you to immediately enjoy the property. Adding to its allure, the property consists of three mining claims, and mineral and timber rights, further enhancing the property's value.

This one-of-a-kind mountain escape blends accessibility, adventure, and opportunity within reach of Denver’s urban conveniences. Decker Mountain Retreat is a fantastic chance to own a piece of Colorado's most coveted backcountry property.
