Beneath the whispering pines, pressed by aspen quaking in the cool mountain breeze, is the spectacular Silver View Ranch. This 161± acre parcel lies in the Cimarron Valley, between Silver Jack's shimmering waters and the Gold Medal, Black Canyon of the Gunnison. A mountain paradise, this ranch is 50% treed, has two gorgeous ponds, Stewart Creek frontage, and over a half mile of the Cimarron Canal, itself fishable! With year-round, county-maintained access, an adjoining 1,000,000-acre National Forest, and a masterful log home. The ranch is an all-season montane getaway. Whether relaxing in the 2,980 SF (6 bed / 4.5 bath) residence, stalking a bull in rut (GMU 65), or star-gazing above the crisp December skyline, the Silver View Ranch is a platinum tier property in a pristine location. Montrose Regional Airport is 37 miles away, the famous Cimarrons are a single step, and decades of enjoyment, on and around the property, is close at hand!
On property is a masterfully built, timeless, log home featuring granite counters, hardwood & tile flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, stone accents, a spacious layout and ornate grand room. The master suite features its own private entertainment center, walk-in custom shower, and a clawfoot tub like those of Butch Cassidy's day. Throughout the building is a "residential lodge" motif- complete with a saUna and landscaping that rivals any Swiss chateau. These amenities are further complemented by a 2-car garage, partial basement/mother-in-law suite, and three guest bedsrooms, each with its own en-suite bath. For year-round living or hosting a seasonal gathering, this home is incredibly well suited.
Beyond the obvious on-property recreation (GMU 65, fishable canal, multiple ponds, mature, sub-alpine forest) is adjoining national forest, untold miles of fishable trout waters (four high-quality rivers and creeks within a 10-minute drive), Silver Jack & Fish Creek Reservoirs, alongside the West Fork- made famous in John Wayne's 1969 classic "True Grit." This is a Goldilocks area surrounded by the high country home to elk, bear, moose, and turkey; yet easily accessible, on-grid, and connected to the broader country by Colorado's fastest growing airport! With hues of silver as the moon tucks beneath the San Juans, a Goldilocks location, and outstanding craftsmanship, this gentleman's ranch is in a class all its own.
