Excellent hunting and fishing located in the heart of the Gunnison National Forest - Wildlife abounds, excellent views, a scenic drive from Montrose or Gunnison, located on Highway 114 just +/- 20 miles south of Gunnison, CO and within a 45 minute drive of two major Colorado Ski areas and the Blue Mesa Reservoir.   +/- 20 acres with approximately 1/4 mile along both sides of Cochetopa Creek.  Outdoor recreational paradise located in the heart of the Gunnison National Forest. Wildlife abounds, excellent views and a scenic drive, the ranch is located on Highway 114 just +/- 20 miles south of Gunnison, CO. The ranch is within a 45 minute drive of two major Colorado Ski areas and the Blue Mesa lake, which is the state's largest. The ranch is +/- 20 deeded acres, including approximately 1/4 mile on both sides of Cochetopa Creek, with a custom built log home with 2 bedrooms/2 baths. If you've never driven Highway 114 between Saguache CO & Gunnison, it is a visual treat to behold. You could easily think you are driving through Yellowstone or Estes Park. Most of the range is National Forest or BLM sprinkled with small parcels of deeded holdings. Over 40 years ago one of these parcels was selected by a Colorado native & master woodworker and a Sportsperson's Paradise was born.....   After picking the building site, the owner hand selected and cut the logs and built the home himself.  An excellent permitted well was installed, power lines were connected to the property and a custom-built log home masterpiece was created. The parcel is split with 6 acres on one side of the creek & the highway and +/-13 acres on the other side. Literally, most would describe this "property" as their dream property. The mostly furnished +/- 2324 sq. ft. 2 bedroom, 2 bath custom cabin is turnkey and ready to go. In addition to your family recreational retreat, the cabin could be offered as an Airbnb or VRBO as there is no HOA. Large custom picture windows complement this custom cabin with a loft, taking advantage of the +/- 318 days of Colorado sunshine. I can't say that I've ever found a property that has had three Rocky Mountain Big Horn Rams harvested within walking distance. Too many mule deer and elk to count were harvested within site of the property. Chukar hunting and incredible fly fishing for rainbows, brook and German browns. The irrigated side of the property would be an excellent hay or horse property. The Seller has a long term arrangement with neighbor who irrigates, maintains fences, grows hay, grazes and keeps the property in agricultural tax status (estimate taxes $285).  In lieu, the Seller receives over a mile of the neighbors' Cochetopa Creek private fly fishing water in return. On one side of the ranch within 100 yards is a BLM access road, BG Unit 551, entering thousands of acres of BLM. And, within a quarter mile on the other side of the road is access into thousands of acres of the Gunnison National Forest, BG Unit 67. The Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC) provides frequent commercial service. The airport also provides full FBO services for those with private aircraft. In a recent nationwide survey, a small private acreage with cabin, on an excellent fishing creek, bordering thousands of acres of public land, within 20 minutes of Walmart, hospital and restaurants was the most desired recreational property in the country.
