Description
1100 Castle Drive presents a rare opportunity to own 5 acres of pristine Colorado mountain land, offering exceptional privacy, abundant solar exposure, and sweeping panoramic views. From this stunning homesite, take in unobstructed vistas of the Castles, Anthracites, Mount Carbon, Whetstone, Red Mountain, and Flattop, an ever-changing landscape that defines the beauty of the region. Located within Star Mountain Ranch, the property is uniquely not part of the Star Mountain Ranch HOA. Instead, it benefits from its own road maintenance agreement with the HOA and pays only half of the standard subdivision dues. It is the only property in the ranch permitted to fence the entire lot. Adding to its character and history, the property features a two-story antique mule barn dating back to the era of the old Baldwin ghost town. The structure remains stable and offers a rare opportunity to restore or resurrect a piece of Colorado’s storied past. Situated near the southern base of Mount Carbon, the property lies within a natural wildlife corridor, where elk and deer are frequent visitors, enhancing the serene and untouched setting. Just beyond your doorstep, nearby national forest land and the expansive West Elk Wilderness provide endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, including hiking, horseback riding, and backcountry exploration. Located along a designated Colorado Scenic Byway in the picturesque Ohio Creek Valley, this property is surrounded by protected lands and renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty. Despite its peaceful, private setting, it remains conveniently close to key amenities, including world-class skiing, Western Colorado University, and the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport. With easy access to both Gunnison and Crested Butte, 1100 Castle Drive offers an unmatched opportunity to embrace the Colorado mountain lifestyle while enjoying the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Seller will finance the property with $125,000 down at 6.75% interest, amortized over 30 years with a 5-year balloon, for an approved buyer.
