Hideaway Ranch

A Private Western Colorado Retreat Above the Black Canyon

Sitting above the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and looking directly over Morrow Point Reservoir, this 124± acre off-grid property offers a level of privacy and scenery that’s nearly impossible to duplicate. The home sits on a protected rim, surrounded on three sides by public land, creating a natural buffer that keeps the landscape wild and the views uninterrupted.

A Modern Off-Grid Home Built for Comfort

Completed in 2023, the furnished 3-bed/2-bath home comfortably sleeps 12 and carries the clean lines and thoughtful layout of a well-designed modern cabin. The main level features an open living, dining, and kitchen area with large windows that frame the cliffs, canyons, and distant water. The master suite and two additional bedrooms round out the main floor, while a custom spiral staircase leads to a spacious sleeping loft.

Reliable Systems for True Self-Sufficiency

Energy comes from a 2.2-kW solar system stored inside a secure Conex container that also provides ample gear space. Underground propane tanks support heating and hot water, and a permitted natural spring feeds underground cisterns for dependable domestic water. Starlink internet and security cameras give you modern connectivity without sacrificing solitude.

Land Protected for Generations

A conservation easement preserves the character of the property and the surrounding landscape. High cliffs form the northern boundary, and public lands stretch out to the south, east, and west—assuring that neighboring development won’t infringe on your views or your privacy.

Your Own Route Toward the Reservoir

A 1.5-mile private ORV road (two vehicles included) winds down the terrain and allows you to reach a midpoint above the reservoir. From there, a furnished, fabric geodome offers a comfortable spot to rest, stage adventures, or host guests. A hike west from the geodome ties into the Hermit’s Rest Trail within Curecanti National Recreation Area, leading to two quiet campsites right at the water’s edge.

Exceptional Fishing and Recreation

Because access to this stretch of the reservoir is naturally limited, the fishing pressure is minimal—giving anglers a rare chance at truly trophy-class salmon and trout. Brown, lake, rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout all thrive in these waters, and the variety alone makes the property feel like its own private fishery.

Easy Access Without Sacrificing Seclusion

The ranch sits just off Highway 92, offering year-round access with zero compromise to the sense of remoteness. Crawford, Hotchkiss, and Delta are all within a practical drive, and Montrose Regional Airport is a touch over an hour away—far enough to keep the world at arm’s length, but close enough for convenience when you need it.
