Description: World class land investment in Gothic Valley Colorado. This area was featured on National Geographic and is known for world renowned mountain biking, hiking, camping and recreation. If you haven’t been here, then you won’t fully grasp how spectacular it is here. Massive peaks, biodiversity, world class mountain biking, hiking and recreation, and on top of that, Gunnison National Forest and Judd Falls are in your backyard.
Located in Crested Butte, Colorado tucked away in Gothic Valley. This epic land investment is as rare as they come. The Rocky Mountain Biological Lab has a little coffee shop and small cabins back here. They own the majority of land in this valley, granted there isn’t much private ownership at all in Gothic Valley. You’d be own of the few people in the world to claim ownership here.
Simply put, this offers a one-of-a kind opportunity to have your own private camping/RV site in Gothic Valley. You can see one landowner two parcels to the south has carved out a gravel pad for an airstream, which offers an idea of what can be done. There is another landowner with a home built into the ground (grandfathered in). However, building may be challenging here because these properties are in an avalanche zone (landslide/earthflow geologic hazard). You will need to get a geologic hazard evaluation. This will help determine your options on the parcel. If you get creative and building is ever approved, it will take time, resources and effort on your end but you’ll have a priceless piece of real estate asset. As technology advances, I believe the chances of building here will only get better.
If you’re looking for a prized land investment in Colorado, this is it. Whatever you decide to do with this property, you’re sure to own something special.
