The Little Gray Home in the West

The Little Gray Home in the West is a historic homestead on approximately 88 acres in the heart of Powderhorn, Colorado, blending Western heritage with modern amenities. Dating back to 1919 and meticulously renovated in 2006, the main residence is a 3-bedroom, 1-bath log home of approximately 1,244 square feet featuring Douglas Fir tongue-and-groove flooring, original doors and hardware, solid cedar window bucks, and a custom rock fireplace with Quadra-Fire insert. Upgrades include 400-amp off-peak electric service with a dedicated electronics panel, off-peak furnace with 3,400 pounds of firebrick thermal storage, new electric, plumbing, septic, and foundation, as well as Eagle windows with Low-E glass and Larson Gold Series storm protection. Additional details such as Hunter Douglas window coverings, double ovens, a 5-burner cooktop, under-counter lighting, and a productive solar greenhouse complete the home, which sits on a paved driveway with an inviting stone hearth at its center. A separate fully renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bath 438 sqft guest cabin offers a full kitchen, tiled bathroom, new systems, Hunter Douglas blinds, electric baseboard heat, a high-efficiency 60-gallon water heater, and quality finishes including cedar-wrapped beams. Ranch infrastructure supports approved Guest Ranch use for up to 26 people per night, with a 30 GPM commercial well and 30 acre-feet of water rights, a year-round 15 GPM spring, a domestic well, a constant-pressure well pump, and multiple pond sites. Outbuildings include a large log barn, a log 2-car garage with insulated doors and automatic openers, and multiple historic log structures. Approximately 2 miles of perimeter fencing with granted access to 75 additional fenced BLM acres make this property well-suited for livestock, recreation, or development, along with features like a rough landing strip, hay meadow, timber stands, and sweeping views. Located minutes from fishing on Cebolla Creek, Lake Fork of the Gunnison, and Blue Mesa Reservoir, and surrounded by prime elk, mule deer, moose, and bear habitat, the ranch provides year-round recreational opportunities including snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, or quick access to Crested Butte for downhill skiing, making it ideal as a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or hunting base.
