Crystal River Ranch House | 30 Acre Fishing Dream

Reconnect with nature at our freshly renovated, charming country home on 13 Moons Ranch, nestled at the base of Mount Sopris. This 3-bed, 3-bath retreat is just 7 minutes from Carbondale, offering private Crystal River fishing, a pond, and 30 acres of serene ranch land. With a new back deck, fast WiFi (though intermittent due to the rural setting), and peaceful surroundings, it’s perfect for families to unwind. This home is meant for relaxation, not parties—please respect this family-friendly space.

Welcome to 13 Moons Ranch: a space where artists, musicians, and the community come together at the base of 13,000-foot Mount Sopris. Upon entering the home, the open concept living space invites everyone together in conversation at the italian-inspired dining table and bench seating adorned with geometric chandelier lighting. Natural light engulfs the newly-constructed kitchen as you prepare a light fare with your stainless steel appliances, gas range, bar stool seating for four, and adequate entertaining crockery. The relaxed leather furnishings and pedestal gas fireplace in the living space look out upon the private alpine pond and nearby massive mountain scapes. From the seating area, immerse yourself in the pine-scented fresh air as you open the door onto the back deck space and enjoy a stunning dark night's sky from the comfortable outdoor seating area.

The master suite emanates the feel of a cozy, one of a kind sleeping quarters for four. The plush master king bed with tasteful linens rests below the treehouse double twin bunks for your little mountain hikers. With its clean rustic finishings, new flooring, and rest & repose for four, the master suite celebrates family living in simple mountain splendor. In addition, the newly-renovated master bathroom encompasses a free standing soaking bath, jack and jill wash basins, a double vanity, and a crisp, mosaic-tiled rainwater shower.

The second bedroom leads out to the deck area and celebrates simplistic mountain style with its relaxing and rustic queen bed, splendid views and small ensuite bathroom with shower. Enjoy cool, organic tones on the restful queen bed in the third bedroom, accompanied by a western secretary desk space and closet readied for a multi-week stay. The hallway bathroom displays austere decor and a rialto-style polished tile tub.

Travel from the home, less than 15 minutes up the road to explore the historic tiny town of Redstone or minutes to the beautiful, family-friendly downtown of Carbondale. Although neighboring the town, you will feel the quiet seclusion of this tastefully-renovated mountain ranch that is an enviable point of departure for both summer and winter outdoor pursuits.
