Beautiful enough for everyday living, and prepared enough for doomsday.

Whether you're preparing for the worst, building a private retreat, or simply looking for one of the most unusual properties in Western Colorado, 18461 Little Park Road in Glade Park is something you don't see every day. Perched on nearly fourteen acres of undisturbed land bordering the Colorado National Monument, this property pairs a beautifully refreshed 2,340-square-foot mountain cabin with something truly rare tucked underground: a full-on private bunker. Secure, secluded, and most unexpected.

A Refreshed Mountain Cabin Above Ground

Above ground, the three-bedroom, three-bath cabin has been beautifully refreshed with new granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, new light fixtures, new carpet and LVP flooring, and fresh interior paint throughout. It's clean and modern while still full of that cozy cabin charm.

Gather Around the Fireplace

The bright main living area features a free-standing gas fireplace and flows right into the kitchen and dining spaces, perfect for entertaining or unwinding after a day outdoors.

A Primary Suite With Views You'll Never Get Tired Of

Upstairs, the primary suite is a standout, with its own gas fireplace, a private en-suite, and views you will never get tired of waking up to.

Below Grade: Real, Serious Peace of Mind

Now for the part everyone asks about. Below grade, you'll find an impressive 1,400-square-foot bunker built with concrete-reinforced steel walls, plus another 1,400 square feet of storage space. It includes five bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and full living space underground, complete with:

  • An NBC filtration system
  • A power inverter with AGM batteries
  • A 5kW diesel generator
  • A 500-gallon underground propane tank
  • Two entry points plus an emergency escape hatch
  • Storage for over 7,000 gallons of water
  • Geothermal heating and cooling
  • A 3-bar structure built to withstand extreme pressure

This isn't a gimmick. This is real, serious peace of mind.

Serious Storage and Space to Work

The oversized basement garage, complete with epoxy flooring and new garage door operators, gives you serious storage and workspace to match everything else this property offers. Outside, you'll find updated exterior doors and newer deck railings, with sweeping natural surroundings in every direction.
