Escape it all on this dream hunting and recreational property with a cabin, creek, direct National Forest access and panoramic views of Cathedral Peak and the West Elk Mountains. The creek runs the entire length of the eastern boundary of the property and is a favorite gathering place for deer, elk and turkey. This parcel is very sought after and unique because of its location on the ranch, the live water, and the more than 175,000 acres of National Forest with seemingly endless recreational opportunities right outside of the back door. The low maintenance cabin was built with high quality construction and materials and is 90% complete. The cabin is fully wired for electricity and is run off an included generator. The cistern gravity feeds water to the cabin and was designed to be easily winterized. Two propane wall furnaces keep the cabin heated and cozy.The cabin is off-grid and can be enjoyed immediately yet the new owners have a unique opportunity for instant sweat equity by finishing the cabin and installing septic and solar systems. The kitchen and bathroom drains are plumbed, but supply lines and fixtures need to be installed. The main level of the cabin features a full bathroom, large eat-in kitchen, primary bedroom (non-conforming, does not have a closet), and living room with 18 ft vaulted ceilings with wall of windows facing Cathedral Peak. The upper level serves as a rec room and sleeping loft and the cabin can comfortably sleep 12. The expansive back deck has room for the entire crew for outdoor dining and to take in the majestic views of the West Elk Range. The ranch is unique in that each resident can utilize the entire property (nearly 5,000 acres) for hunting and recreating. There is a private, stocked pond within walking distance from the parcel to enjoy and evening of fishing. Crawford Reservoir is a short drive away from the cabin for more fishing and boating adventures. There are many miles of roads and trail inside the ranch for 4 wheeling, hiking, and sight seeing. The HOA allows each resident and their friends and family 5 hunting passes per year (must be carried with a license) to help keep the hunting pressure limited inside of the ranch. The ranch is located in GMU 63 and elk licenses can be acquired over the counter during various seasons. The ranch covenants allow you to fence up to 5 acres to keep your horses in and the cattle out but the remaining acreage must remain unfenced. The HOA has a grazing lease on the ranch during the summer that keeps the dues small and the taxes low. The roads within the ranch are not maintained in the winter so a tracked vehicle may be required during snow events. This parcel is arguably one of the best lots in the entire ranch due to its top-of-the-world views, creek, and direct National Forest access. Gunnison and Montrose airports are approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes away. Shops, restaurants and other amenities are 25 minutes away in the town of Crawford, CO. Don't let this opportunity slip away!
