About this home
Fossil Ridge Ranch offers 40± deeded acres in the Gunnison area with a log home, horse improvements, and direct border with Gunnison National Forest. For the buyer looking for a mountain property that supports both everyday use and year-round recreation. The home includes 2,752± square feet of living space and was built in 2003, with additional space in the partially finished walk-out basement for future use. While it has one formal bedroom, the home is configured to sleep approximately 10 people, with two sets of bunk beds, one full bed, one queen bed, and one king bed. Constructed with 12- to 24-inch Douglas fir exterior logs, the house carries the kind of mountain character buyers are after in this part of Colorado. A large covered porch opens into the front foyer, and from there the home moves into an open kitchen, dining, and family room layout with the primary bedroom on the main floor. Inside, the custom Douglas fir cabinetry, trusses, flooring, and wood-burning stove give the house a strong sense of character. The land is what gives the property its broader reach. Located in Gunnison Highlands North and bordering Gunnison National Forest, the ranch opens directly into miles of public ground for hiking, fishing, horseback riding, 4x4 use, OHV and ATV riding, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. Set at just over 9,400 feet in elevation, the property carries the kind of crisp air, summer wildflowers, and open night skies that define this country. Access is seasonal, though the previous owners have lived there year-round. Winter access is typically by snowmobile, tracked vehicle, or other OHV into Almont off County Road 742, while non-snow access is by automobile via County Road 743 in Gunnison and Lost Canyon Road from Almont. The property is also well set up for horses and practical rural use. A 30x36 barn with power and an automatic waterer, along with a small outside corral, gives the ranch a solid equestrian component. The perimeter is fully fenced with smooth wire and gates on each side, which adds to the functionality for horse use. There is also a 24x24 garage with 10-foot overhangs on two sides for covered vehicle parking, as well as an 18x20 greenhouse for year-round growing. Fossil Ridge Ranch lies in Game Management Unit 55, adding another layer of appeal for the buyer focused on hunting and year-round outdoor use. Between the forest boundary, horse setup, and mountain access, the property offers a strong combination of home, land, and recreation in a setting built for people who want to use it rather than just visit it....
