Property Description
Welcome to 19147 County Road 294, a rare opportunity to own a piece of Colorado history in the heart of the beloved ghost town of St. Elmo. This charming mountain cabin sits on two lots totaling 1.5 acres, offering a serene and spacious retreat surrounded by towering pines, rugged peaks, and the steady rush of Chalk Creek flowing just steps from your front door.
The property includes an attached two-car garage-an uncommon feature in the area-providing both convenience and ample storage for all your mountain gear. Whether you're into off-roading, hiking, fly fishing, snowmobiling, or simply soaking in the alpine air, this is the perfect year-round basecamp for Colorado adventure.
Inside, the cabin blends rustic charm with comfortable living, making it ideal for weekend escapes, full-time residence, or vacation rental potential.
St. Elmo is one of Colorado's best-preserved ghost towns, rich in mining history and tucked high in the Sawatch Range at nearly 10,000 feet elevation. The area draws nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and thrill seekers alike-with easy access to trails, lakes, Mount Princeton Hot Springs, and the scenic Alpine Loop.
Rarely does a property with this much land, sounds of chalk creek, and authentic Colorado character come available in St. Elmo. Don't miss your chance to own a true slice of Rocky Mountain heritage.
