About This Property
Sunflower Ranch is a remarkable 124.6 acre property in Gunnison County. It is adjacent to the town of Crested Butte, and shares a border with the Gunnison National Forest, where the ski area, Crested Butte Mountain Resort is located. There may be no other ranch of this size and caliber so conveniently situated near a major ski resort in Colorado. It's a 5 minute bike ride into town on the Recreation Path that connects the towns of Crested Butte and Mt Crested Butte, and in fact, the Rec Path is located on the Ranch property, there is a dedicated easement that allows the Rec Path to exist.
Additionally, there are groomed Nordic trails on the Ranch in the winter for public use that are approved by the Ranch owner annually and optionally. Groomed access to the Nordic trails from the house is available. There is a conservation easement on 90 of the 124.6 acres so no permanent structures may be built on it, but private use is allowed. The property features 3 ponds which can be stocked for fishing, and used for kayaking, SUPing and canoeing.
The Ranch includes a 4,018-square-foot main residence with four bedrooms (including a bunkroom) and four and a half bathrooms. A separate guest house offers two en-suite bedrooms, a spacious bunkroom, a full kitchen, and a comfortable living area, ideal for place for guests wanting both connectivity with the main house, and privacy There is a new barn being built on the property that will house a kitchen, full bathroom and 2 extra bedrooms, at the buyer's discretion. It will also have an extra 709 square feet of garage and storage space. Because the Ranch lies within Gunnison County, outside of town limits and free from HOA restrictions, it offers greater flexibility in its use.
Prospective buyers should consult Gunnison County regulations to explore potential options. The property also includes junior and senior water rights, along with five “A” water tap rights from the Saddle Ridge Water Company. The number of outbuildings that may be built on the ranch for non-residential use are unlimited. The current barn is being removed and will be replaced by the new barn, plans attached in documents. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a legacy ranch, one that can be cherished and passed down through generations.
