Welcome to 1463 County Road 744 – a one-of-a-kind mountain masterpiece tucked into the sought-after Spring Creek Canyon, just outside of Almont, CO. Set on 4.9 acres bordering the Gunnison National Forest, this extraordinary property offers exceptional privacy, private fishing rights and the soothing sound of Spring Creek, and sweeping views from the expansive deck. With year-round access via a paved County Road, the location combines seclusion with convenience—only minutes from fishing, recreation, and adventure. Built in 2000, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom custom home features over 2, 400 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, plus an additional ~1, 900 square feet of walk-out basement area that includes an oversized garage, two versatile rooms, and abundant storage. The home is built on a foam block foundation for enhanced efficiency and comfort, and features geothermal in-floor heat throughout. Inside, the open-concept great room is accented with log appointments, a beautifully finished river rock double-sided wood-burning fireplace, soaring cathedral ceilings, and large windows framing the canyon’s natural beauty. The kitchen features handcrafted cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and a unique tin ceiling—carried into the dining area, giving a nod to Colorado’s old-west mining history. The primary suite offers warmth and charm with a second side of the fireplace, vaulted ceilings, large windows, and direct access to the deck. The en-suite bath provides a blank canvas for you to update or customize to your personal style. A spacious bonus room and a beautifully finished half-bath complete out the main level. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bath and overlook the living space below. Custom hardwood millwork—including Mahogany, Padauk, Walnut, Teak, and more—is found throughout the home. Step outside to enjoy the grassy, landscaped backyard framed by a dry-stacked stone retaining wall complimenting the stone fire pit in the heart of the yard. Off the dreamy back yard, you'll find “The Cave”—a wine-themed retreat crafted from reclaimed local lumber, strong wooden walls, brick and wooden flooring and a hefty timber ceiling, guaranteed to set this home apart from any other. At the back of the cave, a cozy wine grotto built from antique brick molds offers a charming space to unwind or entertain. Surrounded by endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, Spring Creek Canyon is a paradise for those who love hiking, biking, fishing, and exploring. Enjoy private fishing access just across the street, or head to nearby Spring Creek Reservoir or Taylor Reservoir for boating, fishing and scenic solitude. In winter, the area offers cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and snowmobiling right from your doorstep.
