Camp, hunt, hike, count the stars in the Milky Way on this perfect 55-acre mountain getaway … high enough to be 10 degrees cooler than the valley below, but low enough at 8,200 feet to enjoy easy access to the delights of Colorado’s bountiful North Fork Valley. Quiet and privacy abound at this location near the end of an already very quiet dirt road. Just a few minutes from the spectacular north rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, the gently sloping parcel features multiple building sites, a vast open sky and sweeping views of the West Elk Mountains and Grand Mesa. It’s game-fenced on 3 sides, borders BLM on the east and is covered in oak brush, sage brush and wildflowers. It’s off-grid so you’ll need to haul water or apply for a well permit, and you should be prepared to take advantage of western Colorado’s bountiful sunshine to charge your cabin’s solar panels. No covenants or deed restrictions, GMU #63. The adjacent 54-acre parcel to the north is also for sale at $165,000 (MLS #781951).
