Property Description
Discover your ultimate back-country retreat, hunting headquarters, family compound or prepper estate at this stunning off-grid oasis perched high on a mostly level, wooded 40-acre parcel. Enjoy breathtaking 360-degree mountain-top views of Fossil Ridge, the majestic West Elks, and the sweeping Gunnison Valley that will take your breath away from the moment you arrive. This beautifully constructed 2,400+ sq ft home features 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, thoughtfully designed to capture incredible vistas of Fossil Ridge on one side and the expansive Gunnison Valley on the other. The craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail shine throughout — quality you truly have to experience in person. Property Highlights Include: • Privacy & Setting: Situated so no neighboring buildings can be built in sight, ensuring unmatched seclusion and serenity. • Outbuildings: Sauna/generator building, equipment shed, and a spacious detached garage/workshop/man cave complete with its own custom outhouse — perfect for additional rustic living space, hobbies, or storage. • Equestrian/Livestock Ready: Corral for horses or cattle. • Off-Grid Capability: Well-equipped for self-sufficient living in a spectacular setting. This property sits in a hunter’s dream location, just minutes from prime big game hunting in GMU 55 — home to trophy mule deer, elk, bear, moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats. Many of these species have been spotted right on or from the property itself. World-class fishing is also nearby at the Taylor River, Gunnison River, and Blue Mesa Reservoir. Considered a seasonal gem located 48 minutes from Gunnison above Almont, the property remains accessible year-round with the proper vehicle or machine. Seller will include a Jeep Wrangler and 2 snowmobiles for the right offer! Whether you're seeking a private getaway, hunting basecamp, prepper estate or off-grid homestead, this rare offering delivers it all. The views, quality construction, and thoughtful features can only be fully appreciated during a personal tour. Schedule your private showing today and experience the magic for yourself. An additional adjacent vacant 40 acres with its own well is also available. The seller will consider a discounted package price if a buyer was interested in all 80 acres.
