Description

Fish right out your back door with this amazing 3 bedroom riverfront home in Almont. Offering excellent fishing on approximately 180 feet of Gunnison River frontage due to its location right at an intake for an irrigation ditch which allows the fish to rest in the slower waters. Best of all, because the property adjoins national forest, continue walking for about 1/2 +/- mile down an old easement road to access multiple spots on the East side of the Gunnison River. This is one of the most private locations in the neighborhood with awesome canyon and down valley views with lots of rock outcroppings. Situated on 1.38 irrigated acres with.05 cfs water rights plus a 1 acre foot of water from the UGWCD (Upper Gunnison Water Conservancy District) allowing for mature landscaping and a gorgeous lawn. Amazing interior finishes with lots of upgrades including engineered hickory plank flooring, semi-custom cherry kitchen cabinetry, gorgeous lighting, stainless appliances, and granite countertops. Sunny and bright due to the many skylights found throughout the home. Recently remodeled to allow for the kitchen and dining to be open to the living room with vaulted ceilings, river views and a Vermont Castings natural gas heating stove for those chilly winter nights. The beautiful master suite offers vaulted ceilings with sounds of the river with an updated bathroom and jacuzzi tub. Bonus 245 sf loft off of the living area has a counter-weight stairway to lower for access and raise when not in use, which currently is utilized as an office/den (not counted in actual sf). The other 2 bedrooms have access to a well-appointed 3/4 bath. The huge wall of windows and doors leads out onto the covered patio, which is super private and perfect for entertaining, watching the sunset or even wildlife watching for bald eagles, bighorn sheep, deer and elk. Efficient natural gas forced air heat with laundry room/storage area off of the garage. Bring your toys as the 3-car garage has enough room for them all! Enjoy world-class fly-fishing on the newly designated Gold Medal Waters of both the Taylor and Gunnison Rivers, (gold medal waters is a standard of 60 pounds of fish per acre with at least 12 quality trout of 14 or greater per acre). If you are a boater or rafter, the public put-in is very close and just across from Almont Resort. (Some homeowners take their Duckie down the river to Garlic Mikes area in Gunnison and ride the bus back up to Almont). Almont area is a mecca for the outdoor enthusiast with easy access to miles and miles of ATV/UTV trails, great waters for river rafting, close access for both deer and elk hunting in units 54 and 55, and 2 wonderful restaurants/bars to pick from for a night out! Located only 20 minutes to Crested Butte and 10 minutes to Gunnison, you have the best of both worlds. There's even a public bus stop in Almont for those who want a ride up or down valley for work, ski, etc. Covenants allow owners to have a caretaker apartment if needed, where the extra garage might be a viable option. Additional private fishing access for the Gunnison River via various easements throughout the subdivision. Low Association Dues. Wonderful Riverfront Opportunity! Make sure and Watch the Video!
