A Stunning Location in Western Colorado—The River House is Between Aspen and Crested Butte
One of the prettiest drives in all of Colorado is Kebler Pass between Aspen and Crested Butte, with a grove of stately aspen trees that’s known as the largest living organism on Earth. The River House sits just south of Paonia Reservoir, above the confluence of Muddy Creek and Anthracite Creek, which come together to form the North Fork of the Gunnison River. Gunnison County Road 12 takes off from Colorado 133 just above the confluence and takes the adventurer on a stunningly scenic 31-mile journey into some of Colorado’s most scenic wilderness, culminating in one of Crested Butte, one of Colorado’s most famous ski towns. To the north, McClure Pass is about 10 miles distant, which drops down alongside the Crystal River into Marble, Redstone, and Carbondale, all famous mountain towns in their own right, and then another hour of travel brings the traveler to Aspen or Glenwood Springs.
Colorado luxury estate has river frontage, fly-fishing, elk and mule deer hunting in GMU 53 and 521
The River House is that rare Colorado estate that is surrounded by public lands on three sides, offering exclusive access to thousands of acres of BLM and US Forest Service lands. Anthracite Creek, which is known as an excellent trout stream, flows through the center of the property. The property is actually split between GMU 53 on the west side of Anthracite Creek and GMU 521 on the east side. The former World Record Elk taken by John Plute was harvested at the head of Dark Canyon, just a few miles up the valley from the River House. Hunting is excellent for trophy elk, mule deer, bear, grouse, and turkeys, and fly-fishing on the Anthracite can be very lively for chunky rainbow trout, not to mention the stocked pond in front of the main house. A well-built bridge across Anthracite Creek leads to a good access road up to the Upper Meadow, which grants access to thousands of acres of US Forest Service lands comprised of aspens, oak brush, Douglas fir, and open meadows—excellent big game habitat.
