Mill Creek Retreat

Farm Description

Mill Creek Retreat offers something for everyone. Located at the end of a secluded 6-mile long road behind a private gate, this versatile escape is perfect for hunters, anglers, hikers, and outdoor lovers. Enjoy seven private ponds, miles of trails, and access to nearby public lands. This 40 +/- acres feels endless with something to do in every direction.

Land

Ranging in elevation from approximately 6,800 to 7,200 feet, this 40-acre property offers a beautiful blend of high-country terrain. Towering Ponderosa Pines dominate the landscape, complemented by healthy stands of Aspen, native grass meadows, and striking rock outcroppings. The gently rolling topography enhances the property's natural beauty and usability, with thriving vegetation throughout. Bordering National Forest on one side and State Land on the other-and situated at the very end of a secluded six-mile long road-this parcel feels far larger than 40 acres.

Improvements

The property includes two useful improvements. The main structure is a well-built 320 SqFt garage 16 x 20 with a loft and full electrical service-an uncommon and valuable feature for a remote mountain property like this. Large double doors open onto a patio, perfect for outdoor meals or relaxing with friends as you recount the day's adventures. Nearby, a cozy fire pit adds to the atmosphere. There's also an 8 x 8 storage shed, ideal for keeping gear organized-whether it's fishing rods for the nearby stocked ponds or tools and equipment for exploring and maintaining the property.

Recreation

If you love the outdoors, Mill Creek Retreat has something for you. Located in GMU 191, the area sees plenty of elk and deer-especially during their respective seasons-making it a great spot for hunters. The Mill Creek Association also offers access to seven private catch-and-release fishing ponds where anglers can reel in brook, brown, and rainbow trout. There's no shortage of ways to explore, with endless hiking opportunities and great mountain biking trails in the surrounding area. Whether you're here for the quiet or the adventure, there's always something to do. Please note that all pond and fishing pictures are taken on neighboring properties that owners within the association have access to, this is not on the 40 deeded acres Region & Climate

Thanks to its elevation, Mill Creek Retreat offers a cool escape during the warmer months while still being accessible throughout much of the year. The association maintains the interior roads, and year-round access is common-unless there's an unusually heavy snowfall. In fact, several Mill Creek property owners live at their properties full-time because of how reliable it is. It's rare to find a mountain property this far off the main road that you can still get to so easily, most of the year.

Location

Mill Creek Retreat is about 1.5 hours from Fort Collins, Colorado, and just an hour from Laramie, Wyoming-close enough to town for supplies, dining, and anything else you might need. But what those towns can't offer is the peace, privacy, and stunning mountain setting you'll find here. Tucked away at the end of the road and bordered by National Forest and State Land, the seclusion is hard to beat. It's the kind of quiet and privacy that continues to get harder and harder to find in this market.
