Description
Bordering BLM on 83± acres near Crawford, this unique Western Colorado property was built for buyers seeking privacy, recreation, flexibility, and a connection to the land. With sweeping views of the Grand Mesa, Needle Rock and the West Elk Mountains, the property combines modern country comfort with a rugged high-desert landscape of sagebrush, pinyon, and juniper at approximately 7,360 feet in elevation. The thoughtfully designed main residence offers approximately 1,080 square feet with 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, large windows, and a modern kitchen featuring Bosch appliances, quartz countertops, peninsula seating, and finishes that feel more custom than conventional. Mini-split heating and cooling systems provide year-round comfort, while a freestanding propane log fireplace adds warmth and character to the main living area. A 200 +/- sq ft sunroom provides additional living space filled with natural light, while the additional loft area offers flexible sleeping and lounge space with two dormers large enough for twin beds plus a sitting area overlooking the main living space. The laundry area is conveniently located within the primary bathroom. Step outside onto the covered rear deck and take in panoramic views stretching toward Needle Rock and the West Elk Mountains. A dedicated hot tub pad with electrical service was strategically positioned to capture the surrounding scenery and Colorado night skies.Adding to the property's versatility are two detached heated guest quarters, adding approximately 392 sq ft, with mirrored layouts, closets, matching architecture, and a connecting concrete walkway. Whether used for guests, multigenerational living, office space, studio use, or overflow accommodations, these additional structures create flexibility rarely found in properties of this size.The infrastructure throughout the property was clearly designed with both comfort and functionality in mind. Improvements include a quonset hut, fenced garden area, dedicated outdoor shower pad with water and power, full RV hookups, an additional RV hookup behind the quonset hut, and a separate concrete pad complete with power, water, and septic connection. The property is served by a domestic well, buried propane tank, grid power with substantial 400-amp electrical service, and good year-round access from a paved county-maintained road.The long gravel driveway enhances the sense of privacy and separation from the outside world while still maintaining accessibility. Bordering BLM directly, the property offers immediate access to hiking, horseback riding, recreation, and hunting opportunities right out the back gate. Mule deer are frequently seen throughout the property, with occasional elk traveling through the area as well. Nearby Crawford Reservoir and surrounding public lands further expand the recreational appeal of this exceptional offering.This is not a typical home, nor is it meant for a typical buyer. It is a Western Colorado basecamp designed for those seeking a private getaway, recreational retreat, creative escape, or lifestyle-driven property where the infrastructure is already in place and the surrounding landscape becomes part of everyday life.
