River Frontage Colorado Fly-fishing Property on the Smith Fork River
42612 Needlerock Road, Crawford, Colorado
Many people have never heard of the Smith Fork River as a Colorado trout stream. That's because after the Smith Fork gushes out of the West Elk Wilderness, it travels only a few miles through private property before it's captured and funneled into Crawford Reservoir, where the water is distributed over many thousands of acres of hayfields. The Fender Ranch is situated exactly where that water diversion is built. Upstream of the diversion, the fishing is Colorado small stream flyfishing at its finest, and as you know, Colorado trout stream river frontage is hard to find. Well, here you have it--as well as a beautiful custom-built log home, horse pasture, deer hunting, stunning views, and the mountains right in your back yard.
This Colorado recreation and hunting property is set up for both horses and cattle, and has excellent outbuildings for you to pursue your ranch dream. At 95 acres, it's plenty big to spread out. 20-30 acres of the property are irrigated pasture. The log home is 4 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths, and you'll find that you're very comfortable there. How far is it to town? Not far--5 or 6 miles to Crawford, with two restaurants, two country stores, a gas station, bank, and motel. Hotchkiss, with a full-sized grocery store, tire shop, several mechanics, banks, lawyers, etc., is about 16 miles away.
Trail riding and wilderness elk hunting are only a mile or two away, as the wilderness trailheads are close to the ranch. Needlerock is the dominant geologic feature in the North Fork Valley, and it's only a mile or so away from the Fender ranch. Views are stunning.
