27001 State Highway 149
Gunnison, CO 81230
Welcome to Mesa Valley Ranchette — the quintessential Colorado retreat for those seeking wide-open spaces, outdoor adventure, and room to breathe. Located approximately 20 minutes from Gunnison, this distinctive property sits on 8.23 fully fenced acres along a paved highway with dependable year-round winter maintenance. The property directly borders BLM land, with back-gate access to more than 100,000 acres of connected public land for horseback riding, ATV use, biking, hiking, hunting, and outdoor exploration. Situated in Colorado's highly sought-after GMU 66, an area prized for its trophy big-game hunting opportunities, the property provides an exceptional base for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Mule deer, elk, and pronghorn are frequently seen in the yard and throughout the surrounding hills, bringing Colorado's remarkable wildlife directly to the property. The home has been extensively restored and updated inside and out. The cedar siding has been carefully restored, sandblasted, hand-sanded, and sealed with UV and pest protection. New decks and an outdoor sitting area create inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the surrounding high-country views. New roofs have also been installed on both the residence and the detached garage. The entire basement has been remodeled and includes a complete, attached second residence with a brand-new kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and pantry. Legally classified as a duplex, the property offers flexibility for rental-income potential, multigenerational living, guest accommodations, caretaker housing, or a private home office. The remodeled lower level also features durable, commercial-grade engineered flooring designed for long-term performance. Consult realtor's notes for a full list of upgrades. The 8.23 fully fenced acres provide room for horses, livestock, or 4-H animals, and an existing chicken coop adds to the property's homestead potential. A professionally installed French drain provides an additional exterior improvement. The detached 41-by-54-foot heated garage and workshop offers approximately six-car capacity and exceptional space for vehicles, boats, ATVs, recreational equipment, tools, collector storage, or a home-based business. Blue Mesa Reservoir is just minutes away, offering boating, paddleboarding, fishing, and trophy kokanee salmon opportunities. Nearby Gunnison and Lake City provide mountain-town conveniences, seasonal festivals, dining, services, and access to an extensive network of ATV and recreational trails. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, recreational retreat, equestrian property, multigenerational home, or income-producing acreage property, Mesa Valley Ranchette offers a rare combination of paved year-round access, move-in-ready flexible living space, abundant wildlife, and direct access to Colorado public lands. Twenty-four-hour notice is required for showings. Buyer to verify square footage.
