From the top of the beautiful vistas of Fruitland Mesa, this stunning country home has commanding views of the West Elks Mountains, Needle Rock, and the Grand Mesa. This luxury home has all the advantages of quiet country living while offering a low-maintenance lock-and-leave lifestyle. With a total of 4,271 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2 ¾ baths, there is plenty of room for enjoyable living. The stick-framed 42x72 shop offers generous workspace for RV storage, projects, and ranch vehicles. The property has a total of 8.69 acres, of which 7 acres is an irrigated hayfield/horse pasture.
This country home has a long list of custom features, beginning with its Southwestern style construction of “ice block” concrete forms, which provide excellent insulation. The home is ringed by a beautiful landscaped garden surrounded by a stucco wall to keep the critters out. The garden area features a complete outdoor kitchen with an overhead portico to shelter guests from a summer shower. Inside, it has solid hardwood floors, exposed timber frame construction, slate and granite countertops, and Subzero refrigerator. The master suite has its own walk-out doorway to the garden and hot tub, with stunning views of the mountains. The bath features a steam shower and copper tub. The guest suite is charming and well appointed with its own full bath, while downstairs is a guest apartment with a ¾ bath, bedroom, library/sitting room, and office. It leads to the lower garage, which is perfect for one car. Upstairs, there is a pull-through garage with small workshop just off of the mudroom.
This property is situated on a broad mesa overlooking the North Fork Valley at 7,160 feet in elevation. Summers are cool and spectacular. The home is surrounded by several large hay farms and cattle ranches, with nearby Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands to the south, which eventually give way to Black Canyon National Park. Though there is one property between the estate and BLM lands, there is a dedicated 10’ easement through the neighboring property to provide access for ATV’s, UTV’s, horseback riders, and hikers to access the BLM lands, which provide thousands of acres for elk and mule deer hunting, horseback riding, 4-wheeling, and adventuring.
For a luxury home with such nice appointments, this property has a lot of recreation to offer! It’s situated in Colorado Game Management Unit (GMU) 63, which is famous for excellent mule deer hunting. Although it’s close to 9 acres, mule deer visit this property frequently. Elk roam Fruitland Mesa and the BLM lands to the south, offering good hunting opportunities right from the property, as there is an easement across the neighboring property to access BLM lands. Crawford Reservoir is just minutes away, offering fishing for trout, perch, bass, pike, and catfish, as well as boating, wakeboarding, waterskiing, and paddleboarding on 344 acres of cool mountain waters.
This luxury home on acreage is situated a few miles southwest of Crawford, Colorado at the top of Fruitland Mesa. Crawford is located on the Western Slope, equidistant between Aspen, Crested Butte, and Telluride in the heart of the Rockies. It’s a small town—only 500 people—but there’s a bank, coffee shop, restaurant, library, town hall, convenience store, hardware store, post office, and hotel. This luxury home is 13 minutes away from town. Other services are provided about 25 minutes away in Hotchkiss, which has a larger grocery store and an excellent medical clinic, and Delta and Montrose are within an hour to an hour and a half, with a regional airport, car dealers, big box stores, well-regarded hospitals, and so forth.
