Now is the perfect time to claim your private mountain retreat in the scenic Arrowhead community of Colorado—a long-held family lot is finally available, offering a rare chance to escape the relentless heat and humidity of Arizona and Texas and enjoy the crisp, refreshing air of Colorado’s high country. This beautifully treed and partially cleared lot is tucked away from the busy, dusty roads for total peace and privacy, yet offers easy access to all of Arrowhead’s incredible year-round amenities. With a gentle slope ideal for building a main-level living cabin with a walkout lower level, and potential to open up stunning mountain views to the north, this property offers endless possibilities for your dream getaway. Summer temperatures here are famously cool and comfortable—often 20 degrees lower than Grand Junction and Montrose—making this a true refuge for those seeking relief from the sweltering southern heat. Neighbors include friendly folks from Texas, Phoenix, Montrose, and Grand Junction who also appreciate the beauty and comfort of Colorado’s high elevation summers. Verizon cell service works well with a booster, and fast portable internet is easily available thanks to Starlink and Dish, so you can stay connected while enjoying the serenity of mountain life. Arrowhead’s impressive year-round Lodge—just 5.5 miles down a well-maintained, plowed gravel road—features guest rooms, a restaurant, and a friendly gathering place for dinner, drinks, and community events while your dream cabin is under construction. Outdoor adventures abound with world-class hunting, fishing, hiking, jeeping, and biking on the Alpine Plateau and nearby attractions like Blue Mesa Reservoir, Lake City, Ouray, Telluride, and Silverton—all just a short scenic drive away. Owners here enjoy everything from rustic campsites and RV setups with storage sheds to full cabins, making Arrowhead the perfect mountain sanctuary to customize your way. Winter fun is just as exciting with side-by-side vehicles on tracks providing easy access to the snow-covered trails from the owners’ parking lot. Whether you want to explore, hunt, fish, or simply relax in the cool mountain breeze with a book, this is the Colorado escape you’ve dreamed of for years—and now is the time to make it yours! Directions are simple: from Highway 50, turn south onto the Alpine Plateau Road for about 5.2 miles to the Arrowhead sign, then right on Lake to Hazel Lake Road, following to Ridge Road, then right again to the signs marking 100, 103, 135, etc.—your lot is just past site 137 on the left, marked with a wood “CHASE” sign. Walk it, fall in love with it, and start planning your perfect Colorado high country retreat!
