Pitkin, Colorado Mountain Home with 10 Acres for Sale
3345 Charlies Challenge St., Pitkin, Colorado 81241
------------------
Pitkin sits high in the Rocky Mountains of west central Colorado and is the location of this cabin in the woods for sale. It has one bedroom, an outhouse, 612 square feet and 10 acres of forested land. Constructed in 1987, the home has an asking price of $187,000.
The property still needs a little work (plumbing), but it is well built with a concrete floor and concrete pillars. The area around the home has been cleared of trees to mitigate potential fire damage. The pitched metal roof protects against fire as well, and it keeps snow from piling up. The beautiful wood deck affords long views, nearly to the Continental Divide.
Inside, there is a wood burning stove for heating and cooking. The property has water rights, but until it is plumbed into the irrigation/well system, water must be brought in. The upstairs loft has large windows and is perfect for sleeping or star gazing.
The HOA fee is $240 per year. Taxes are about $500 per year.

Pitkin:
Scenic, rugged Gunnison National Forest is in the Rocky Mountains of west central Colorado and is home to Pitkin (population 65). Founded in 1879 as the state's first mining camp west of the Continental Divide, this tiny town sits at 9,242 feet above sea level and today draws outdoor adventurers (hikers, campers, four-wheelers) and a few tourists in search of the authentic Old West.
The Pitkin Hotel dates from 1904, is open June through October, has 10 rooms and modern indoor plumbing. Teddy Roosevelt once stayed in Room #1.
In general, Pitkin residents are a hardy bunch. Many live off the grid.
Colorado:
Similar to California, the Colorado area was surrendered to the United States in 1848 at the end of the Mexican-American War. It did not become a state until 1876, 100 years after the nation's birth.
The Centennial State's geography includes high plains, deserts, foothills, and mountains. Its Rockies are part of the 3,000-plus mile geologic uplift known as the North American Cordillera. More than 50 of the Cordillera's peaks taller than 14,000 feet are in Colorado. Outdoor recreation ranges from backpacking and climbing to road cycling and skiing.
With roots in mining and agriculture, Colorado's economy has branched in many directions. It currently has a high concentration of tech and scientific research companies. Food processing, manufacturing, and tourism round out the state's industries.
The Centennial State maintains a long list of superlatives. It has the highest paved road, the deepest geothermal hot spring, and the nation's largest concentration of scenic byways. Colorado is the only state in the Union to reject the Olympics and one of the first to legalize recreational marijuana.
