Creekside ranchette with a separate CDU, water rights, and 230 feet of West Sopris Creek frontage -- 30 minutes to Aspen, 10 to Willits, no HOA. Set on 2.65 fully usable, irrigated acres with 0.25 CFS water rights, this Basalt ranchette combines a remodeled main home, a private income-ready caretaker unit (CDU) and fenced upper and lower pastures ready for horses or other farm animals and/or hobby farming. The 1,958 sq ft main home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths with a remodeled main level: redesigned kitchen with custom cabinetry, new appliances, new flooring, lighting, electrical, insulation, drywall, and paint. Vermont soap-stone wood-burning stove, metal roof, well water, and backup generator. The detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath caretaker unit (CDU) has its own private entrance, separate driveway, covered parking, and wood stove -- well suited for guests, multigenerational living, or an employee. Total of four bedrooms and three full baths in the home. Outbuildings and grounds include a 338 sq ft insulated garage, two-car carport, loafing shed with hay storage, fenced garden with raised beds, mature plum trees, screening pines, and a dedicated ranch access road along the east boundary. A private creekside seating area sits beside West Sopris Creek, with a teepee on a 16-foot platform. Minutes to the Mt. Sopris trailhead, Prince Creek mountain biking, Crown Mountain, Dinkle Lake, and acres of BLM land. A rare combination of water, usable acreage, and flexible living space in one of the valley's most desirable rural corridors.
