Description
Step out your back door into the high country. From this lot, the trail isn't something you drive to--it's something you step into. Snowmobiling, ATV riding, hiking, back country skiing, and trout fishing in a private lake are all right here, with quick access to public lands and the Colorado River just beyond your detached 21' x 20' garage. The garage includes custom steel cabinets, a refrigerator/cooler, a workbench, and a premium ¾ inch rubber floor--ideal for gear, tuning, or a mountain workshop. With established roads, utilities, and a ''just right'' building footprint, the hard part is done. As a homeowner in Sun Valley Ranch Estates, you gain private access to the shores of the Colorado River--just a few hundred feet beyond your detached 21' x 20' garage. This custom garage is fully outfitted with steel cabinets, a refrigerator/cooler, a workbench, and a premium ¾ inch rubber floor, making it the perfect staging area for mountain gear, equipment tuning, or a clean, organized workshop. It's a rare advantage: gear in the garage, river at your fingertips, and trails beginning right outside your back door. The outdoor lifestyle here is unmatched. Snowmobiling, ATV riding, hiking, back country snow sports, hunting, and stream fishing are woven directly into the land. The community's private lake--described by long time residents as "as good as any fishing club," but quieter, more affordable, and far more tranquil--adds another layer to the experience. The views are the kind that stay with you. To the north northwest, Baker and Bowen rise from the Never Summer Range along the Continental Divide. Turn around and Baldy stands above open meadows, aspen groves, and year round wildlife--moose, elk, bear, coyote, fox, and geese. These views alone are worth the "price of admission," yet they're only the beginning of what makes this place rare. The community is the quiet strength of Sun Valley Ranch Estates. Many residents have lived here for decades. They're down to earth, helpful, and welcoming in a way that reflects an older Colorado--one built on authenticity, stewardship, and neighborliness. Whether you meet at the lake, on a trail, or in the HOA's gathering area, you'll find a community that feels grounded and genuine. The building site itself is exceptional. The footprint is "Goldilocks"--not oversized, not cramped, just right. As part of a townhouse community with well maintained roads and established utilities and services, the heavy lifting is already done. The gap between breaking ground and stepping into your new mountain home is shorter here than in most mountain properties. The final plat protects open space and preserves the character of the neighborhood, ensuring the land stays open, the views stay clear, and the lifestyle remains relaxed but full of opportunity for outdoor adventure and vigorous mountain living. Welcome to a rare piece of Colorado. Welcome home.
