Property Description

This is a fantastic piece of history with a blend of preservation and modern updates. The Historic "Bank of Alpine" Cabin - This home is a Rare Pioneer Log Treasure. Nestled in the San Isabel National Forest near the ghost town of St. Elmo, this rare piece of Colorado history is available for those who value charm, character, and adventure. Originally thought to be constructed around 1879, this two-story log cabin is reputed to have housed the Bank of Alpine-the only bank documented to operate in Alpine during the 1880s. Architecturally significant, it showcases classic Pioneer Log construction with hand-hewn square logs, dovetail notches, daubing, and a simple gabled roof. As one of the few remaining buildings from Alpine's early mining era, it is a rare surviving link to the town's settlement history. Blending the historic with the modern, a two-story addition completed in 2017-2018 that features a modern kitchen, laundry, and 3/4 bath living and dining room on the main level, a loft bedroom in the original part of the cabin and a primary suite upstairs in the addition that includes a 3/4 bath and a beautiful view of Mt. Antero. Recent upgrades include all new double-pane windows, a new front door, updated electrical, propane stove, propane and electric heat, newer septic system, a metal roof, concrete slab under the addition, a retaining wall and fresh exterior improvements. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the location-minutes from Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, the Arkansas River, and surrounded by endless opportunities for hiking, 4-wheeling, fishing, rafting, biking, and exploring the alpine landscape. Whether cherished as a private retreat, a historic showpiece, or a basecamp for mountain adventures, the Bank of Alpine is truly one-of-a-kind. The home comes FULLY FURNISHED including an ATV. Just bring yourself! The information contained herein should be verified by Buyer after Buyer contracts to purchase the property.
