This is more than land, it’s a legacy. Tucked deep in the foothills of Sedalia, this historic homestead spans 11.4 acres with rare backdoor access to Pike National Forest and the Colorado Trail—nearly five hundred miles of unspoiled wilderness right off your backyard. Whether it’s horseback riding, snowshoeing after the first dusting, or simply sitting still by the spring-fed pond watching the wildlife stroll by, this is where Colorado comes alive. With multiple living spaces across the property, it’s an ideal setting for multigenerational living, shared retreat-style land use, or simply welcoming others to enjoy a piece of the quiet. More outdoor adventures and world-class Platte River fishing are found just down the road, as well as hip city amenities in the nearby town of Castle Rock. The main log cabin, built in 1882 and lovingly restored, stands as a testament to craftsmanship and time—rumored to have hosted President Theodore Roosevelt himself. Original beams, hand-hewn logs, a wood-burning fireplace ensconced by stately stacked stone, and thoughtful upgrades blend rustic charm with modern comfort, including central heat. The kitchen features a showstopping, artisan-crafted copper island and bas-relief landscape backsplash, designed by a renowned metalworker. Just beyond, a walk-in butler’s pantry offers floor-to-ceiling storage, a commercial-grade fridge and freezer, and a dedicated coffee bar with quartz workspace. The primary suite addition—with its vaulted ceiling, thermostat-controlled fireplace, and walk-out access to a private patio—offers a tranquil space nestled in nature to decompress, then awake refreshed as the sun greets the mountain ridge. Perhaps the real heart of this homestead lies in its spacious log-beamed front porch, which enjoys warm east valley views—an ideal setting to slow down, gather, and savor that first sip of coffee in the fresh mountain air, surrounded by the lush landscape and skyscape. Bursts of color are a feast for the eyes with groves of mature Aspen, Willow, and Lilac changing with the seasons, along with tasty wild rhubarb, apple, and cherry trees offering their sweet bounty. Two delicious natural artesian springs feed the property, providing gravity-powered water flow to the home, outbuildings, and animals—even if the power goes out. It’s a rare and valuable feature for those drawn to an off-grid or self-sustaining lifestyle. The land itself is just as generous, with several sunlit meadows that offer rich grazing for horses and wildlife. Additional spaces across the property include a beautifully preserved and usable 1856 log barn, loafing shed, chicken coop, RV-height shop garage, and a modern carriage house with two self-contained apartments—ideal for guests, caretakers, or added income. Boasting rare A1 agricultural zoning, the property allows for building an additional residence to expand the compound, with power already in place. And to make mountain living a breeze, infrastructure upgrades include reliable high-speed internet that stretches outdoors, security cameras, two buried 1,000-gallon propane tanks, a no-freeze 1,700-gallon buried water storage tank with filtration system, low-voltage heated water lines to both dwellings, and multiple water hydrants scattered across the land—all of which has been professionally thinned and mitigated to sustain healthy forest ecosystems. No covenants. No HOA. Just a place where the wild still whispers, and the stars still shine. For those called to nature, history, and a deeper kind of quiet—this isn’t just home, it’s a soul sabbatical.
