1985 County Road 20

Description

Set in the heart of the South Fork River Valley, this extraordinary 19± acre legacy property traces its roots back to 1865, when early prospector Oscar Lewis Million first established the homestead. Today, the ranch stands as a thoughtfully revitalized mountain sanctuary, where authentic history meets modern mountain living — all bordered by the expansive Rio Grande National Forest. The primary residence features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, combining rich wood accents, inviting gathering spaces, and updated mechanical systems designed for comfortable year-round use. A charming 1915 guest cottage maintains its classic architectural lines while offering contemporary heating and tasteful interior upgrades. Additional structures enhance both functionality and opportunity, including a 300± square foot commercial-use building and a traditional barn that has been carefully preserved. The land itself is equally impressive — stocked fishing ponds, lush irrigated meadows supported by senior water rights, and more than 400 feet of river frontage create a rare blend of beauty and productivity. Agricultural zoning contributes to favorable property taxes. For the outdoor enthusiast, the setting is exceptional. Enjoy Gold Medal waters for fly fishing, immediate access to public lands and wilderness, and close proximity to Wolf Creek Ski Area. This is a property where heritage, recreation, and refined mountain living converge in one of Colorado’s most scenic alpine valleys.
