Property Description

Welcome to The Little Gray House in the West, a historic Colorado ranch estate where timeless Western character meets modern comfort. Nestled on 88± acres in Powderhorn along State Highway 149 between Gunnison and Lake City, this legacy property offers a rare blend of country living, recreation, and craftsmanship rooted in more than a century of Colorado history. Originally built in 1919, the main log home was fully restored in 2006, thoughtfully updated to accommodate today's lifestyle while preserving the charm and craftsmanship of its homestead roots. The 1,244-square-foot residence features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like stepping back into Colorado's ranching heritage. Rare clear Douglas Fir tongue-and-groove flooring runs throughout the main level, complemented by original Douglas Fir planking upstairs and preserved original interior doors and hardware. A custom rock fireplace with a Quadra-Fire insert anchors the living space, while the kitchen is well-appointed with double ovens and a five-burner cooktop. Extensive infrastructure updates include a new foundation, new septic system, new electrical and plumbing systems, and 400-amp off-peak electrical service paired with an off-peak furnace and 3,400 pounds of firebrick thermal storage. Eagle windows with Larson Gold Series storm windows, Low-E glass, solid cedar window bucks and jambs, and Hunter Douglas triple honeycomb window coverings showcase the home's exceptional quality. The home's desirable south-facing orientation fills the interior with abundant natural light throughout the day, while under-counter lighting, a paved driveway, and a productive solar greenhouse complete the setting. A fully renovated 438-square-foot guest cabin provides comfortable accommodations for family, guests, a ranch manager, or potential rental income. Featuring 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, cedar-wrapped beams, tile and carpet flooring, electric baseboard heat, 100-amp electrical service, phone and cable wiring, and a lifetime high-efficiency 60-gallon Marathon water heater, the cabin has also been updated with new electrical, plumbing, foundation, windows, storm windows, and Hunter Douglas blinds. Notably, the property is approved to host up to 26 guests per night as a working guest ranch, opening the door to residential, recreational, or commercial opportunities. The land itself is as functional as it is beautiful. Approximately two miles of perimeter fencing secure the property, creating an ideal setting for horses, livestock, or simply enjoying the privacy of your own Colorado ranch. A productive hay meadow and lush grass pasture are complemented by extensive timber, rolling sagebrush hills, dramatic rock outcroppings, and abundant wildlife habitat. The property's south-facing terrain provides excellent sunlight across much of the acreage, enhancing both its beauty and usability. The ranch also benefits from granted access and fencing surrounding an additional 75± acres of BLM land, while thousands of acres of adjoining public land provide endless opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, hunting, and outdoor recreation. A seasonal pond, multiple additional pond sites, and a rough undeveloped landing strip further expand the property's recreational and aviation potential. Water resources are equally impressive, with a 30 GPM commercial well delivering 30 acre-feet of water, a year-round spring producing 15 GPM, and a 15 GPM domestic well with permit. The property also features a high-quality constant-pressure well pump and a 105-gallon lifetime high-efficiency Marathon water heater.
