Colorado Mountain Recreation Property

One of the most important features of this property is its location. Not only does it have the small, year-round mountain Gold Creek running through the property, it is also surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of easily accessible public lands. The Gunnison National Forest borders this property on the East and West boundaries, and the main road providing access to the property leads to hiking trails to the North. Fun hikes to three mountain lakes are just out the back door. You have access to Mill Lake, Boulder Lake, and Lamphier Lake all within the Fossil Ridge Wilderness. Interested in Skiing? Snowmobiling? Hunting? Four wheeling? Hiking & Camping? You can access the National Forest from the trails just minutes from this property, or drive to nearby mountain towns for additional trailheads into the public lands.

The home is located just above the small community called Ohio City, and nearby to the other community known as Pitkin. These are both small mountain towns with beautiful mountain properties. Gunnison is a quick 31-minute drive (per Google maps) and a total of an hour drive to the ski resort town of Crested Butte.
