Jewel of the San Juan
Mountains Ranch - Price Reduction
VIDEO SUMMARY
OVERVIEW
"The Jewel", offering all the essential elements of a
"trophy property"; uncompromising privacy, trout
fishery, irrigated meadow, water rights, alpine terrain,
outstanding improvements, and National Forest access.
The ranch is located just over an hour from Gunnison and
its all-weather jet accessible commercial airport. The
property is located 15 miles from the historic mining
and mountain recreation town of Lake City and in the
heart of one of Colorado’s most inspiring mountain
ranges, the San Juan Mountains. Two creeks bisect and
merge on the property, providing the challenge of
catching the Brown trout and Rainbows. The rippling
sound of water tumbling over the free-stone creek bed
provides the tranquil sound which can be easily heard
from the large deck and master bedroom.
IMPROVEMENTS
With views of surrounding mountains rivaled only by a
few places in areas such as Telluride, Jackson Hole and
Aspen, you will certainly consider this property as a
paradise, so beautiful and unique that you will not want
to leave and only thirst to return. The property is
improved with an impeccable 5,500 sf brick home
reminiscent of those owned and occupied by the early
mining barons of the last century. The home combines Old
World Elegance with Colorado Nostalgic architecture and
the brick exterior fits in naturally with the colors of
the surrounding mountains. The interior of the home is
truly elegant with finish that includes imported Italian
tile and marble floors, custom wood trim throughout,
engineered three-story mountain view front window as
well as side windows with views of the looming mountain
peaks, custom kitchen, game/media room, wine cellar,
in-floor heat, and elevator and many more "high-end"
features.
The home, built over a period from 1996 to 1998, was
custom designed to provide energy and space efficiency
and low maintenance. A commercial greenhouse with a 90
degree temperature variation from the outside climate
lets the owner grow herbs, vegetables and other flora
for a large part of the year.
NATIONAL FOREST & WILDLIFE
Rarely, does a property with 30 acres feel like 30,000
acres, but that is the case for "The Jewel", with the
surrounding Gunnison National Forest which can be
accessed by nearby jeep, foot and horseback trails. The
property is boundary fenced and irrigated allowing for
horses to roam the property. Beyond the views and
mountain streams and not to be over shadowed, is the
fauna. One can spend endless time enjoying the wildlife
that roam naturally on the property. At any time, one
may see mule deer, elk and moose grazing across or
resting on the property. Elk move through the property
in the spring on their way to the high country and
return in the fall to use the property as a safe-haven.
Moose frequent the property throughout the year and
spend a good part of the winter along the willow lined
creeks. Coyotes, Lynx, Bighorn Sheep and other Rocky
Mountain wildlife can be seen or heard in this mountain
paradise.
SUMMARY
This property is simply an unbelievable paradise and to
describe it as anything but "Rare" would be to
understate the facts. If you aspire to own a magnificent
piece of property and elegant residence in the midst of
the Rocky Mountains, you will want to see "The Jewel".
Numerous outdoor activities await you including hiking,
riding, jeeping, cross-county skiing, snowmobiling,
hunting and fly fishing.
