At its heart are spring-fed trout ponds, enhanced by a state-of-the-art aeration system—creating a self-sustaining aquatic feature that’s as functional as it is stunning. The land is thoughtfully improved with approximately 2 acres already fenced, an established RV pad, and access through a secure, locked-gate community. Bordering BLM land, the property provides direct access to thousands of acres of public ground—expanding your backyard in every direction. Ideal for horses, cattle, or recreational use, this parcel sits within coveted GMU 66, known for trophy-quality elk, deer, moose, and bear. Whether you're a sportsman, rancher, or simply seeking space and privacy, this property delivers. Seasonal access ensures a true off-the-grid feel, while a road association maintains usability. With no HOA restrictions, you have the freedom to create your vision—whether that’s a legacy ranch, hunting retreat, or private escape. Opportunities like this—water-rich, wildlife-abundant, and bordering public land—are increasingly hard to find in Western Colorado. Despite its private, tucked-away setting, the property is well positioned to some of Western Colorado’s most sought-after destinations. Blue Mesa Reservoir—the largest body of water in Colorado—is within easy reach for boating and fishing. The town of Gunnison is approximately 45 minutes away, offering shopping, dining, and regional air service. Lake City, known for its historic charm and access to the San Juan Mountains, is just over an hour’s drive. For commercial travel, Montrose Regional Airport is roughly an hour and a half away, providing convenient connections for east access.
