Off Grid Hobby Ranch on 40 Acres with Expandable Potential Escape to true off-grid freedom on 40 private acres in High Chaparral Ranch near Lake George. Outdoor recreation is exceptional with convenient access to Eleven Mile State Park, Eleven Mile Reservoir, Spinney Mountain Reservoir, the Dream Stream, and Pike National Forest, offering world-class fishing, boating, hiking, camping, hunting, and wildlife viewing just a short drive away. This 2008 ranch-style home offers 1,248 square feet with sweeping views of the lake, mountains, and rolling plains in every direction. The property is zoned agricultural, creating a stronger hobby ranch opportunity with livestock potential, pasture use, equipment storage, and long-term land flexibility. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with convenient access to Hwy 24, the setting delivers privacy without feeling isolated. Inside you'll find a bright open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a spacious living area with a wood-burning stove, large windows, kitchen island, breakfast bar seating, ample storage, dining area, 3 bedrooms, and 2 full baths all on one level. Designed for self-sufficient living, the property is fully off-grid with a seller-owned solar power system, manually operated backup generator, cistern water, propane service, septic system, double pane windows, concrete perimeter foundation, crawl space, and composition roof. High-speed internet is currently available, making remote work realistic in a peaceful rural setting. The 40-acre parcel offers rolling terrain, big-sky views, partial fencing, pasture potential, and a 1,200-gallon stock tank with windbreak. With no HOA and no restrictive covenants, there is room for livestock, recreational vehicles, equipment, future outbuildings, or additional improvements. Outdoor recreation is hard to beat with quick access to the Dream Stream, Spinney Reservoir, Eleven Mile Reservoir, Pike National Forest, and Eleven Mile State Park. The location works well as a full-time residence, weekend escape, hunting and fishing headquarters, hobby ranch, or long-term land hold with real utility already in place. Additional separately deeded 40-acre parcels owned by the seller may be available under separate agreement, offering expansion or investment potential. Each parcel may qualify for a domestic well rather than a household well, adding meaningful long-term value.
