Listed by Tyler Housley of Whitetail Properties Real Estate LLC
Built in 1988 and well maintained, this one-of-a-kind Taylor Park property combines private river frontage, a log home, and high-country recreation in a setup that is truly unique. Located above Taylor Reservoir at the confluence of Illinois Creek and the Taylor River, the property spans approximately 21 acres and offers privacy, mountain views, and the Taylor River running through the ranch from north to south, with ownership on both banks. The two-story, off-grid log home includes two bathrooms, a main-level bedroom, and an open sleeping area upstairs. The main living area features pine walls and ceilings, while the downstairs bedroom is finished in aspen and the bathrooms in redwood. A floor-to-ceiling river-rock fireplace anchors the living room, and wood stoves warm the downstairs and upstairs bedrooms. The house runs on propane, a generator, and wood heat, with a well and septic in place. Outdoor living is built around a full wraparound porch above the willows, with an outdoor stone fireplace and views across the sage and timber. Both fireplaces, inside and out, are built from river rock taken off the property. The Taylor River and Illinois Creek meet on the ranch, so fishing runs the full length of the 21 acres from both banks - a rare amenity. Gunnison National Forest surrounds the property. With short drives to Buena Vista, Gunnison or Crested Butte, this property is remote but recreation opportunities abound.
