About 818 Riverside Drive
Rare St. Vrain Riverfront cabin compound offering privacy, income potential, and a true Colorado mountain lifestyle.Located between Lyons and Estes Park, 818 Riverside Drive features three renovated historic cabins on approximately 1.11 acres with nearly 300 feet of private St. Vrain River frontage. Set within the charming Riverside community, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a multi-cabin retreat just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park.The three cabins can comfortably accommodate groups of up to 15 guests, making the property ideal for family retreats, small weddings, wellness gatherings, or continued legal STRl use. Expansive outdoor space along the river allows for additional RV parking and riverside camping, creating a rare compound-style setting that is difficult to replicate in Boulder County.The layout also presents a compelling owner-occupant opportunity-live in the main cabin while renting the other two cabins for additional income. An existing garage structure may also offer renovation potential for expanded living or recreational space, subject to buyer verification.The location offers easy access to some of Colorado's most desirable destinations including the vibrant town of Lyons with its restaurants, breweries, and music scene, as well as Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park just up the canyon. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound with hiking, fly fishing, rafting, mountain biking (just out the door), and skiing at Eldora Mountain Resort. Boulder is approximately 35 minutes away and Denver International Airport is within convenient driving distance.Properties offering this combination of river frontage, multiple cabins, retreat potential, and proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park rarely become available. Whether envisioned as a private mountain retreat, income-producing short-term rental compound, or multi-generational getaway, 818 Riverside Drive represents a truly unique Colorado lifestyle opportunity.
