Horse Property With Creek Front Homesite
Parlin, Gunnison County, Colorado
Welcome to Green Mesa Ranch! Situated in the picturesque Quartz Creek Valley in Parlin, Colorado, just a short 15-minute drive east of Gunnison, this property is steeped in a rich history of cattle ranching, abundant hay production, old mining towns, and endless trails. Green Mesa Ranch has been subdivided into 13 ranchettes, offering a unique opportunity like no other.
Lot 5 encompasses 12.4 acres and boasts the unique privilege of being intersected by over 550 feet of Quartz Creek, a renowned trout stream that gracefully winds its way through the entire ranch. Exclusive fishing rights are extended to Lots 1A, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 for owners and their guests along both banks of the pristine 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 Gunnison County. A survey plat can be provided indicating the location of the building envelope and boundaries of the entire 12.4 acres. An improved, gravel year-round road maintained by the HOA runs through the property for easy year-round access.
This 12+ acre ranchette also benefits from a hay production lease, which qualifies it for the coveted AG (Agricultural) status for a much lower tax assessment. Moreover, a level home building site has been well planned on this lot, ready for your vision of your future Rocky Mountain year-round home.
For those with a love 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. Lot 5 at Green Mesa Ranch offers breathtaking vistas of surrounding mountains and lush hay meadows, providing an idyllic backdrop for your dream retreat. Privacy and seclusion are among the defining characteristics of this remarkable retreat.
Even with its tranquil surroundings, convenience remains uncompromised, as Gunnison is just a short 15-minute drive away. There, you'll find easy access to shopping, educational institutions like Western State Colorado University, and the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport. In addition, incredible skiing is just 40 minutes away at either Monarch Mountain or Crested Butte Mountain Resort.
