32 Bench Road
Welcome to GREEN MESA RANCH! This 12+ acre home site is ON the picturesque Quartz Creek near Parlin, Colorado just a short 15 minute drive east of Gunnison and steeped in a rich history of cattle ranching and abundant hay production, old mining towns and endless trails. Green Mesa Ranch has been subdivided into 13 ranchettes, offering an opportunity to build your Rocky Mountain Dream Home. Lot 5, encompassing 12.4 acres, boasts the unique privilege of being intersected by over 550 feet of Quartz Creek, a renowned trout stream that gracefully ribbons through the entire ranch. Exclusive fishing rights are extended for owners and their guests along both banks of Quartz Creek. Underground electric is stubbed into the property, a well permit is in place for future domestic water and a septic plan has been approved by Gunn County. A survey plat can be provided indicating the location of the building envelope that looks over your own private hay meadow. An improved, gravel road, maintained by the HOA, runs through the property for easy year-round access. This 12+ acre mini-ranch also benefits from a hay production lease, which qualifies it for the coveted AG (Agricultural) status for a much lower tax assessment. $48 last year! Moreover, a level home building site is well planned, ready for your vision of U future home. For those with a penchant for angling, Green Mesa Ranch is a veritable fisherman's paradise, complemented by the availability of hunting on nearby National Forest lands and the captivating Fossil Ridge Wilderness Area which is only a few miles from the property. Green Mesa Ranch 5 offers unimpeded of surrounding mountains and lush hay meadow providing an idyllic backdrop for your dream retreat. Privacy and seclusion are among the defining characteristics of this remarkable retreat. Despite its serene setting, convenience is not compromised, with a mere 15-minute drive leading to Gunnison, where shopping, educational institutions such as Western State Colorado University, and the Gunnison-Crested Butte Jetport, offering year-round air transportation--all easily accessible.
