Hwy 149 at Gateview is the best access to the property. Gunnison County is the fifth most extensive county out of Colorado’s 64 counties. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 3,260 square miles, of which, 3,239 square miles of it is land and 21 sq. miles is water.

Gunnison, the county seat, has about 6,000 people and is home to Western State College.
PROPERTY Fenced and gated, the ranch features complete privacy and seclusion. Situated in Sections 2 and 11 at T46N, R4W, the property consists of 320± deeded acres and adjoins vast expanses of BLM lands. The property features a nice mix of grass-filled meadows and timbered hillsides of pine and aspen. There are two small ponds on the property and provides water to abundant wildlife. The views of the surrounding mountains are second-to-none.
IMPROVEMENTS Built in 1985, the home offers 2,200 sq. ft. and features 3 bedroom and 2 bathrooms. Although secluded, the home features all the comforts of home with a drilled water well and septic system, generator and Direct TV already in place. Cell service even works at the ranch! The refrigerator and stove are powered via propane gas. The large living room is showcased with a large wood burning stove. Although only a 3 bedroom home, it is very spacious and has slept as many as 20 people in the past. The top feature of the home are two large decks
that overlook this mountainous paradise. There is one small outbuilding situated next to a small corral.
OPERATION The property has been utilized and pampered as a private family and hunting retreat for many years. The remoteness of the property equates to seasonal access, but the owners have used the cabin in the winter via snowmobile. There is snow removal to a nearby area, so winter access wouldn’t be too far.
