About 15805 County Road 245
Welcome to your High Country Cabin. This cabin is perfectly located at the gateway to the Flat Tops Recreation Area and the expansive Flat Tops Wilderness—offering over 450 square miles of untouched beauty and outdoor adventure. Positioned just 45 minutes from Rifle and New Castle via Garfield County Road 245, this 39.34-acre property is a rare opportunity for year-round adventure, solitude, and backcountry freedom. At 8,850 feet in elevation and bordered directly by White River National Forest, this is the only private property on the southern edge of the Flat Tops with legal, year-round off-road access. Whether you're a hunter, angler, backcountry skier, or HOV rider, this property delivers direct access to prime territory. World-class big game hunting, fishing, mountain biking, SxS/ATV(HOV) trails, hiking, camping, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and backcountry skiing are all right outside your door. The off-grid log cabin is a cozy and functional basecamp for you and your crew. With 1,940 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths, it comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests. Powered by solar with battery storage and a backup generator, the cabin is self-sustaining and designed for four-season use—ideal for weekend trips, extended stays, or outfitting operations.
Zoning makes the possibilities even broader. Approximately 22% of the land is designated Commercial-Lodging, opening the door to short-term rentals, hunting camps, or a B&B. The remaining 78% is zoned Rural, supporting agriculture, livestock grazing, and even the potential for a second homesite. Additional improvements include a massive 42' x 60' heated barn/shop with tack and vet supply areas, a separate two-car garage/workshop, wood storage shed, and a reliable domestic well. The property is fully fenced and cross-fenced into three sections for controlled grazing, with three natural water collection ponds scattered across wooded, mountainous terrain filled with aspens, spruce, and wildflowers. Located just 12 miles from New Castle, this private, off-grid haven feels remote yet accessible. High Country Cabi is the ultimate destination for the modern-day sportsman—offering freedom, privacy, and unmatched access to the wild
