This historic land was originally a part of the neighboring Elk Creek Ranch and in 1878 the Homestead of John N. Thompson. The Ute Indian Trail went right through the meadow (seen from the kitchen window) when they were traveling to the high country hunting grounds. This special acreage is a wonderfully private family retreat situated on 10+ acres with scenic mountain views and the south boundary line going to the Centerline of the main channel of Elk Creek. Although located in Gunnison County, you are less than 10 miles from the Town of Lake City. The stick built 2-story home, with no maintenance vinyl siding and efficient in-floor heat, was originally constructed in 2001. The detached garage was constructed in 2010. The main floor entrance was formerly a workshop/garage space that has since been converted into additional residential space with a sitting/media area, 3 bedrooms, one 1/2 bath, one 1/2 bath with sink/tub only, utility room with sink, and two separate entrances. At the top of the stairs is the kitchen with a nice sized pantry and small exterior balcony with Elk Creek Ranch meadow views. The bright and open living room with dining area has plenty of custom Cypress wood built-in storage, a 3/4 bath and a wonderful exterior deck to enjoy the south facing views. The oversized detached 2-car garage has an unfinished second story with plenty of storage and currently used as a kids game room. The driveway is privately maintained and could potentially be accessible year round. A Transfer of Title Septic Inspection Report was completed in March 2025. Gunnison County has issued in 2025 a Certificate of Occupancy for the previous remodel conversion to residential space. The home will be sold partially furnished as well.
