Description

Welcome to this exceptional contemporary modern home on 17 acres along the Tomichi Creek, just minutes from downtown Gunnison. Nestled against dramatic rock outcrops, the property offers private wade in access to miles of one of the valley’s most celebrated fisheries, along with tranquil ponds, irrigated pastures, and expansive manicured lawns that create a one of a kind riverfront retreat. To the south, the land adjoins 249 acres of protected State Wildlife Area, ensuring lasting privacy and safeguarding the Tomichi Creek corridor. Beyond that, vast BLM acreage expands both the sense of seclusion and the opportunities for year round recreation. The home itself blends seamlessly with this natural setting. A grand foyer and central staircase set the tone, leading to thoughtfully designed living spaces filled with character and light. The formal living room is a showpiece, anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace and accented with Mid Century Modern details. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, with generous cabinetry and a cozy eating nook that frames views of the surrounding landscape. Just beyond, the formal dining room provides an elegant setting for hosting family dinners or special occasions. A more relaxed sitting room, complete with built in bookshelves and a brick fireplace, opens to a covered porch where the ponds and valley stretch out before you. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, offering a private office, deck, and striking views of the lawns, pastures, and rock formations. On the upper level, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a seating area open to a deck with panoramic views to the east and across the Gunnison Valley. Every detail of this property reflects a strong connection to place. Unique finishes and timeless Mid Century Modern touches complement its convenient location near Gunnison, Western Colorado University, and the Gunnison/Crested Butte Regional Airport. This home offers not only a rare property, but also a rare lifestyle.
