Centrally located between the Grand Mesa, the West Elk Mountains, the San Juan Mountains, and the Uncompaghre Plateau, this home provides a private setting on 25 private acres spanning over 700ft of the highly sought after lower Gunnison River. There is no other property on this lower stretch of the Gunnison River that compares to the amenities and offers property that spans both banks!
Set back from the highway in a nest of cottonwood trees, the property is close enough to town for convenient nights out and shopping yet offers privacy and seclusion along the banks of the river. The home is fully equipped for families, couples, or sportsmen. The surrounding area offers a wide range of recreation and tourism in what we feel is the best of what Colorado has to offer. You'll be amazed at the night sky, the eagles that drift over the river just out the kitchen window, and the warm days/nights of the lower G. Turn off the highway and forget the uncivilized world around you. A private island even separates the house from the main flow of the river for even more privacy!
Touch gold medal water just outside your door. Fish at sunrise and never have to start your vehicle. Float the river from several upstream put-ins in the Gunnison Gorge to your private beach in the back yard. Enjoy exclusive wading access to the river for fly fishing or spin casting. River access includes a ramp to a cobble beach landing in a deep back eddy that makes getting in and out of your river boat a breeze. Prime spring and fall fishing seasons. May and June fly hatches that stir the appetites of trophy Rainbows and Browns.
This property is luxurious and rustic all at once, owing to custom log construction hand built in 2000. New beds and bathroom remodel in 2018. Large private patio area with table seating, bbq, and afternoon shade. We equipped this property with household staples, bedding, outdoor furniture, and ample kitchen tools. You're right across the highway from a summer farmers market, offering fresh locally grown fruit and vegetables. Larger grocery and department stores are conveniently located just 7 miles west in Delta.
Ride your mountain bike from the front door into the Gunnison Gorge recreation area, or take short trip up to the Grand Mesa for endless trails and lakes. Whether motorized interests or human powered recreation is your bag, the area offers incredible opportunity. Explore the "pick your own" orchards, local summer festivals, nearby hot springs, and notable Delta County antique stores.
We've spotted two minks on our island and we have nesting Bald Eagles along the river.
