Privacy and proximity meet in this unmatched opportunity to shape your legacy retreat in one of the Roaring Fork Valley's most exclusive enclaves. The property's 56+ irrigated acres are bordered by conserved land and offer spectacular protected views of Crown Mountain and the ranching and agricultural pastures of historic Emma. The long-term value is secure with exceptional water rights, irreplicable outbuildings and agricultural status. The ranch comes fully equipped with a 2,400 sq. ft. shop, large hay barn, ranch office (convertible to a 4-stall barn), implement shed, fuel station, fully irrigated pastures, outdoor riding arena, a cattle handling area, chicken coop, and small livestock barn. Complete the compound and build the permitted 5,600 sq. ft. home designed to blend modern luxury with the area's natural beauty. The property strikes the rare balance of quiet seclusion and premium convenience - surrounded by preserved land and views yet a stone's throw to Willits or the Roaring Fork Club and a central location within the area's regional airports. With its lower elevation and more temperate climate plus miles of world-class trails, fishing and exploring at your doorstep, this is a one-of-a-kind property in the most enchanting corner of the valley.
