Surrounded by mountains and tucked into the bottom of a secluded bowl, this unique 38.65± acre offering consists of two separate parcels (18.65± acres and 20± acres) being sold together, creating one of the most private settings you'll find in the North Fork Valley. Towering old growth Gambel oak blankets much of the property, providing beautiful character, abundant wildlife habitat, and a natural screen from the outside world. Deer and elk are frequent visitors, and with direct BLM access along the south and east boundaries, the property offers outstanding opportunities for hunting, hiking, and exploring thousands of acres of public land in GMU 521. Several flat, cleared building sites are already in place, making it easy to envision a cabin, hunting camp, or private mountain retreat. Despite its peaceful, off the grid feel, the property is less than 30 minutes from the amenities of Paonia. Continue up Stevens Gulch Road to reach the Grand Mesa National Forest, where miles of trails, countless lakes, camping, fishing, hunting, ATV routes, and year round recreation await. Head into the vibrant North Fork Valley town of Paonia for groceries, fuel, restaurants, local shops, wineries, orchards, and a thriving arts community. Annual HOA dues are just $200 and help maintain the access road, providing reliable access to this remarkably private mountain property. If you value seclusion and privacy, this property deserves your attention.
