651 Mosquito Powderhorn, CO 81243

If youâve been looking for an idyllic spot to build your mountain getaway, this is the lot for you! At 9 acres, 651 Mosquito Trail is by far the largest lot currently for sale in the desirable Blue Mesa Subdivision, which is centrally located between Gunnison (1hr away), Lake City (50 min away), and... Montrose (1.5hrs away). A previous owner already began clearing the perfect homesite, which sits perched above the road boasting phenomenal views of the mountains and valley below. The homesite also backs up to the trees to maximize privacy. The Blue Mesa Subdivision is bordered by BLM and Forest Service land, and summer recreation opportunities are endless! Enjoy boating and camping at the nearby Blue Mesa Reservoir, as well as world class fly fishing on the Lake Fork of the Gunnison. Owners in the Blue Mesa Subdivision have access to a private stocked fishing pond where you can also canoe, kayak, and paddleboard. There is a community clubhouse where there are regular neighborly get togethers including card nights and BBQs. Speaking of neighbors, in this area you can expect regular visits from elk, deer, bears, eagles, and other incredible wildlife. Snowplowing in the winter stops at Blue Mesa Drive, but should you choose to spend the winters at your future cabin (you would need to access it via snowmobile or snowcat from Blue Mesa Drive), there are plenty of nearby winter activities to choose from including snowmobiling, ice climbing, ice fishing, and ice skating⦠or simply relax and enjoy the solitude of the mountains. The HOA does allow camping on your lot for up to four weeks at a time. Taxes are currently only $231/year and HOA dues $320/year, making this a very affordable lot to hold as an investment or until you decide to build. Continue reading
