Imagine creating your own compound or retreat on this rare 8.67-acre canvas just outside the welcoming town of Paonia. With roughly 4.23 acres under irrigation, you have immediate acreage primed for an orchard, vineyard, or expansive garden, while the remainder of the parcel invites you to design meadows, pastures, or outdoor living areas. Three domestic water taps are already in place, simplifying the path to building multiple residences, guest cottages, or gathering spaces. A lively stream threads along the property’s edge, providing a soothing soundtrack to your mornings and a natural meeting point for wildlife. All around you, the grandeur of Mt. Lamborn and the West Elk Mountains frames every sunrise and sunset in spectacular alpenglow. Living here means embracing a lifestyle that balances peaceful rural beauty with easy access to the vibrant heart of Paonia—just minutes away. Stroll into town for farm-to-table dining, browse artisan markets, or join in local festivals that celebrate the area’s agricultural roots and creative spirit. For outdoor enthusiasts, every season brings a new adventure: hiking and biking trails fan out on Jumbo Mountain, the North Fork of the Gunnison River offers fly-fishing and rafting; and Powderhorn Ski Resort’s winter powder days are just a scenic drive away. When travel calls, the regional airport in Montrose is only an hour’s drive, making visits from family and friends—near and far—effortless. This property is more than vacant land; it’s the foundation for a legacy—a place where generations can gather, explore, and unwind against the backdrop of Colorado’s West Elk Mountains. Here, every day feels like an invitation to live your best mountain-front life.
