EXTREMELY RARE opportunity to own your own UNIQUE MOUNTAIN A FRAME CHALET situated on 2.98 acres which fronts approx. 300 feet of the Upper Blanco Canyon River in the most sought after location in all of Archuleta County. The Blanco Basin is located in the southern San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado. It's a magical place surrounded by majestic mountains filled with lush evergreen forests and Quaking Aspen trees. The views are breathtaking changing with the seasons, from verdant green in the summer to golden patched mountains in the fall turning snowy white in the winter.The Rio Blanco that runs through the Blanco basin is fed by springs and small streams originating high in the mountains that slowly wind to the river. The Rio Blanco, is home to several species of trout including Rainbows, Cutbows, Cutthroat and Brookies. Most anglers are fly fishers and practice catch and release, keeping the fish population stable.The river runs through private land and permission to fish the waters must be obtained from the land owners. - Immediately north of and adjacent to, the Majestic Mountain properties, is federally owned land including USFS land and a portion of the San Juan Wilderness area. Fishing and hunting are permitted to all who have access to those areas. Numerous trails lead into the federal lands. It is not unusual for hikers to venture far into the basin to camp for a few days or to hike over the mountains and descend into the Pagosa Springs area. Other hiking and horseback touring areas go east of the Blanco crossing high country including the continental divide. Treks in that direction will end in New Mexico in the area near Platoro Lake and the Conejos River.Wild life in the San Juans, includes deer, elk, mountain sheep, bears, mountain lions, coyotes, bob cats, marmots, weasels, snowshoe hares, beaver and many other animal and bird species.
