Aspen Mountain Ranch

Land Description

Welcome to Aspen Mountain Ranch and the name says it all. Big, beautiful, healthy Aspen Trees one of my all time favorite trees and people just love them, the Aspen's are in hundreds of thousands growing everywhere on this 150 acre ranch surrounded by National Forest giving you thousand of acres of forest to explore, hunt, hike, animal watch all right from your front door, and have absolute privacy.

Land Aspen Mountain Ranch is located above Echo Basin just 45 min N of Durango, CO, and very close to Mancos and Cortez, CO. The ranch sits from 7200 ft - 9000 ft +/- and during the summer months 75/77 degrees are the highs and makes for the perfect outside summer days and at night it's in the mid to high 50's so burning your large fireplace can be done nightly and is what mountain living is all about. The ranch has a very nice clean, very cozy 1800 sqft cabin, 2 story, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and a epic fireplace, it is so quiet and the stars are so bright up there. The cabin has a propane tank, full kitchen with the water coming straight from the cleanest natural spring that you can literally drink right from the sink and is incredibly good tasting water. Power is from a generator plus has a back up generator, it would be very simple to install solar and of course Starlink. The propane runs the refrigerator, dyna-glo heater, a coup de gras stove and has on demand endless hot water for endless hot showers. On the property there are about a dozen springs +/- and there are 2 large springs that hold water all year round even this year and provides an incredibly array of wildlife that come drink every day from the springs. There are large numbers of Elk, Deer, Bears, Eagles, Lions. On the larger of the ponds the owner has harvested a bull Elk every single year for the last 20 years in a row every year The property is 30 min up a dirt road that a high clearance vehicle is recommend and keeps the property extremely private to the world, however last week I did pull my trailer with my side by side up the road with no problems, in the winter snowmobile or side by side with track would be a easy way to get to the cabin in the winter if you wanted. These types of property surrounded by Nation Forest are very rare and just simply hard to find and then add a functional cabin, and thousands of Aspen trees and you have a very special one of a kind legacy property for generations to come.
