Property Description
Miner Creek Retreat offers rare privacy, year-round creek frontage, and a well-built mountain home in a setting surrounded by U.S. Forest Service land. Set on a 10± acre patented mining claim up Rat Creek near Miners Creek, the property sits at the end of the road with very little traffic yet remains only about 15 minutes from Creede. The home includes approximately 3,000± square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms with a thoughtful split-level layout that works well for full-time living, family use, or hosting guests. Built in the early 2000s with significant owner involvement, the home carries a more refined mountain feel than many cabins in the area, and that owner involvement shows up in the craftsmanship and character of the place. There is also a detached studio retreat adds flexibility and character, complete with a wood-burning stove, hot tub, and yoga platform overlooking the creek. Rat Creek runs through the property year-round, bringing live water, sound, and a strong sense of place to the setting. The off-grid solar system is approximately six years old and offers independence without giving up modern function. Access is seasonal in heavier snow years, when snowmobile access may be necessary, though recent winters have allowed vehicle access. That is part of mountain ownership, and here it comes with the reward of being surrounded by National Forest and immediate access to hiking, wildlife, and recreation. The property is private in the truest sense, with room to breathe and a setting that feels protected by the surrounding public land rather than crowded by it. Miner Creek Retreat is well suited for a private mountain getaway, an off-grid residence, or a long-term San Juan legacy property. It is the kind of place that offers real seclusion, strong improvements, and a setting that stays with you.
