1501 county road 813

Just 13 miles from Crested Butte, this incredibly private summer home in a lovely pastoral setting is located off the “Jack’s Cabin Cutoff” road on 2 separately deeded half-acre parcels, possibly enabling a second home to be built with no Covenants and no HOA. It’s completely fenced and surrounded by 100s of acres of Allen Ranchland and utilities are underground. Enjoy the peace and quiet of no neighbors, mountain views, star gazing, and naturally occurring windbreaks on 3 sides. On the eastern half-acre sits an 1145 square foot, 2+ bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home with interesting, vaulted ceilings in the great room creating a comfortable living space with tons of natural light. You’ll find quality Indiana hardwood accents throughout including white oak, black cherry, walnut, and red oak. Need a big shop for a home-based business, a hobby, or storage? Included is an attached, heated 700-square-foot garage/workshop with two 10-foot garage doors, 12-footceilings, and an I-beam hefty enough to lift an engine. From the large second-story deck, you’ll have views directly into Alkali Basin and beyond into the West Elk Wilderness. You’ll also see Flattop and Red Mountain from this home. There’s a covered first-floor deck as well. An easement allows for the driveway through the Allen Ranch from County Road 813, beginning across the street from the “Almont Triangle” sign, when approaching from the west. Virtual staging has been used for portrayal of room sizes and potential decor. The metal roof and the membrane under the big deck have just been replaced by Goodknight Roofing of Gunnison, property is winterized during the colder months. THIS WONDERFUL CABIN IS A "SUMMER HOME" DUE TO THE INABILITY TO DRIVE A CAR TO IT 365 DAYS PER YEAR. YEAR-ROUND ACCESS IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE .6/MI OF CR 813 VIA SNOWMOBILE, SKIS, SNOWSHOES, SNOWCAT OR ON FOOT, AND BY CAR WHEN A LACK OF SNOWPACK ALLOWS. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO PARKING OF VEHICLES OR TRAILERS ON CR 813!! THIS PROPERTY IS NOT ADEQUATE AS A YEAR-ROUND RESIDENCE DUE TO A LACK OF ACCESS AND UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO WORK-AROUND! This listing has been virtually staged.
