Hankering for seclusion, a comfortable home and year-round hunting and fishing access? If so, take a gander at this lovely property five miles south of Crawford, situated near Crystal Creek and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Constructed of extra-large Black Mesa logs, the home features vaulted ceilings, wraparound decks to take in the 360-degree views, an open loft/office/bedroom, beetle-kill pine cabinets and an efficient wood stove. A walk-out basement includes a guest bedroom and oversized 2-car garage, and a 4,000-sq ft detached fully-insulated shop/garage comes with 220-volt outlets and a partially-finished studio apartment heated by hot-water baseboards. The home’s water is sourced from a recently-updated freshwater spring and is abundant enough to water trees and fill a pond. The property is nicely covered with mountain meadow pastures, wildflowers and oak brush; hunt and fish mule deer, elk, bear and even some brook trout just outside your door. In the past a neighboring rancher has held a lease for cattle grazing to help manage the pastures and maintain the property’s agricultural status, and an adjacent Forest Service road provides access to extensive public lands in the Crystal Creek/Black Mesa area. Come to appreciate the serenity of this remarkable property: you won’t want to leave!
