Property Description
Crested Butte/Gunnison
The property is 34.7 acres with .7 miles of the East River. All river sides are private. The river splits and confluences creating a 10 acre island that has been manicured with trails and cookout / party sites. Many fishing habitats and water features have been created for the health and stability of the property.
Custom built home by Colvin Construction, 3225 SQ FT, 3 Bedroom, 3 bath, 30’ X 60’, custom built barn with complete shop and gym, and a 24’ X 45’ storage shed.
This is a very unique property. Nothing like it exists in the Gunnison / Crested Butte area. It is extremely private, surrounded by thousands of acres of State Wildlife Refuge to the east, 7 miles of National Forest to the west, and 3 miles (992 acres) of conservation easement to the north ending at the Roaring Judy State Fish Hatchery. There are no buildings in those directions making this property truly a very private slice of heaven. All of the property is clean and natural. Many 100 year old conifers populate the property and surrounding acres. It is a one minute walk from the house to the private 10 acre island in the middle of the East River to experience solitude, beauty and vast natural views: No people or structures, just gorgeous Colorado forever.
All varieties of local wildlife frequent the property. The owner feeds the fish daily. Kokanee Salmon run through the property every fall from Blue Mesa Reservoir to spawn at the hatchery north of the property. In 23 years the property has only been fished about 20 times, exclusively by family. The fish are virgin trout in a very healthy river. The property is only 20 miles from the East River headwaters at the Continental Divide.
While this property is ideally private and remote, it is conveniently located: 12 miles to the Gunnison County Airport, 16 miles to Crested Butte, and 18 miles to Mt. Crested Butte Ski Resort.
The valley has seen significant investment recently. In 2023-2024, Mark Walter (owner of Guggenheim Investments, the L.A. Lakers, and the L.A. Dodgers), purchased six restaurants, several hotels, and many residential properties. The 11 Group has developed the Irwin Ski Resort west of Crested Butte. They also own resort properties in Taylor Canyon and downtown Crested Butte. Jeff Hermanson who developed Larimer Square and Union Station in Denver, has made several commercial investments on Elk Avenue and at the ski area. Vail Resort bought the Crested Butte ski area in 2018. Is Crested Butte becoming the next Aspen?
