About this home
Gunnison River Sanctuary: A Unique 35-Acre Retreat. Nestled along the serene banks of the Gunnison River, the Gunnison River Sanctuary is a secluded 35-acre parcel boasting over 2,500 feet of pristine river frontage. This tranquil haven is enveloped by the natural beauty of the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area, offering unparalleled privacy and direct access to nearly 328 square miles of protected land. As the last private parcel before the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) boundary, this property provides exclusive entry to a remote section of the conservation area along the river, accessible only through a private, keypad-gated entrance. Natural Features: The sanctuary is a symphony of natural serenity, where the gentle flow of the Gunnison River and the calls of waterfowl on the private 8-acre lake create a peaceful soundscape. The property is framed by dramatic canyon walls and overhangs, which bear witness to a rich historical tapestry. Ancient petroglyphs and abandoned pioneer homesteads, nestled among boulders and outcroppings, tell the stories of primitive native campsites and early settlers. Historical Significance and Water Rights: Once a thriving irrigated peach orchard, the Gunnison River Sanctuary retains its valuable absolute water rights, sourced directly from the Gunnison River, ensuring reliable access to water for future use. This historical feature enhances the property’s unique appeal and utility. Infrastructure and Accessibility: Significant investments have been made to enhance the property’s desirability, including the installation of utilities and a finished paved road leading to the site. A high-producing domestic well, located just a few hundred feet from an ideal homesite, provides ample water for residential needs. Despite its secluded setting, the property is conveniently located just 5 miles from Grand Junction, offering easy access to shopping, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife while maintaining the tranquility of a private retreat. Opportunity for Customization: The Gunnison River Sanctuary is a rare canvas for those seeking a one-of-a-kind homesite that blends seclusion, recreational opportunities, and historical charm. The property consists of two distinct parcels, offering the opportunity to build two primary residences with ADUs. With its infrastructure in place and natural beauty preserved, this property awaits a discerning owner to create a masterpiece tailored to their vision....
