Welcome to Trickle Mountain Ranch, an extraordinary 80-acre legacy property located at the secluded head of the Ohio Creek Valley, just outside Gunnison, Colorado, and within close reach of the world-class resort town of Crested Butte. Originally homesteaded in 1916, this historic mountain ranch offers complete privacy, end-of-the-road seclusion, and direct private access into the West Elk Wilderness, an extremely rare feature that opens up thousands of acres for exploration, hunting, and recreation. The ranch is surrounded by 360-degree views of the West Elk Mountains, including the dramatic Anthracite Range and the iconic Castles of Mill Creek, making every inch of the property feel like a private slice of untouched Colorado wilderness. The off-grid cabin is a masterpiece of rustic luxury, constructed from reclaimed trestle wood that brings warmth, authenticity, and character to the space. Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully finished with oak hardwood floors, granite countertops, and top-tier Sub-Zero appliances, providing all the modern comforts without compromising its rugged, backcountry charm. Trickle Mountain Ranch is not governed by an HOA, offering a level of freedom and flexibility rarely found in the high country. With excellent adjudicated water and spring rights, the land is well-suited for horses, cattle, and a variety of agricultural or recreational uses. Wildlife is abundant, and the property offers phenomenal trophy-class deer and elk hunting, making it a dream for sportsmen. A large pole barn provides ample storage for tractors, ranch equipment, and all your mountain toys. Whether you're seeking a private family compound, a functional livestock ranch, a sportsman’s base, or a long-term legacy holding, Trickle Mountain Ranch offers unmatched potential and breathtaking surroundings. The property allows for additional structures or future expansion if desired, while still preserving the unspoiled character that makes it so special. With convenient access to both Gunnison and Crested Butte, this ranch offers the perfect balance of remote tranquility and easy connection to two of Colorado’s most cherished mountain communities. This is more than a mountain getaway, it’s a generational investment in land, lifestyle, and legacy.
