This 40-acre mountain parcel is located high above the valley floor south of Crawford, Colorado, with stunning views of the West Elk Mountains. This mountain property offers year-round access via a well-maintained gravel road; a hard-to-find domestic water tap; electric grid power; privacy and seclusion; excellent hunting for elk and mule deer; and a couple of outstanding homesites. And the kicker is that it also fronts thousands of acres of BLM lands for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, and exploring.
Of all the game management units in Colorado, GMU 63 is known for producing excellent mule deer bucks. This property is right in the middle of Unit 63 and offers access to many acres of BLM lands right out the back gate for excellent hunting. As well, elk will frequent the property from time to time, offering an added bonus for big game hunting.
This is indeed a special property that offers many different possibilities. There is a good gravel driveway accessed from B76 Road, a well-maintained county road, that leads to a homesite. The previous owners erected an interesting gazebo structure for picnics and get-togethers, as well as a good-sized storage shed. Electric power is easily brought to the property from the county road, which is also where the domestic water line is found. The parcel is relatively flat and is easy to walk. This property could easily serve as a year-round residence, a vacation getaway, hunting property, or even as a site for vacation rentals.
On the southeast corner is a gate that offers access to the BLM lands, which is an awesome place to ride horses and go on a hike. Only 3 miles to the south is the north rim of the Black Canyon, an awe-inspiring gorge that is 2,800 feet deep.
