Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Grand Lake, Colorado
1443 Gcr 49, Grand Lake, CO 80447
The Colorado River (yes, the same one that carved the Grand Canyon) begins just north of Grand Lake in the Rocky Mountain National Park. It flows through - winding around two scenic lakes on your private 35 acres, just 2 miles NW of the year round resort of Grand Lake! Seller financing is requested, please, for your purchase.
A Western style Guest House has already been built on this land, above a dream drive-through garage/ shop space with tall doors. Magnificent Views across the river of Rio Lake, a couple of hundred feet away, Inspiring views of both Mount Baldy and the Never Summer Mountains from the entire property! Moose and other wildlife frequent this safe area, where you hear only the sounds of the water. Walk past "Goose Pond", a separate scenic lake on site, over to the raised walking path near the Bridge and have fun feeding the fish in this stocked Rio Lake.
The cozy living /kitchen area was designed as a place to visit with guests - to join them for coffee in the morning and drinks on the enormous deck later in the day. It has evolved into a wonderfully decorated Western retreat with 4 bedrooms, an elevator and that great garage space.
This 35 acres cannot be subdivided, yet you could build a fabulous home which will legally share the existing well; an ideal location. There is of course plenty of room to add a huge workshop building. Renting a home is not permitted, yet the strip of acreage along the side could be leased out if you continue to raise hay.
Secluded and beautiful setting is just over a mile up Road 49 from the Rocky Mountain National Park and Grand Lake Village. This Lot 5 is being subdivided from a larger acreage. You have access to the National Forest - fun for exploring in the summertime and leading to 86 miles of groomed snowmobile trails in the winter! #1443 Grand County Road 49 Furnished at $2,727,000
