90± Acres on the East River Near Crested Butte

Price Improvement: 90± Acres on the East River

We’re excited to share a rare and remarkable land offering in the Gunnison Valley: 90± acres of prime, easily accessible property located just south of Crested Butte, with river frontage, mountain views, and development potential already in motion.

An Exceptional Location

Situated at the corner of Highway 135 and Cement Creek Road, this parcel offers excellent access while maintaining a sense of privacy and natural beauty. The property borders the East River along its eastern boundary, providing an ideal setting for trails, wildlife corridors, or quiet conservation zones. Just seven miles from downtown Crested Butte and nine miles from the ski area, the location is hard to beat

Improvements on the property include:

Four-bay open hay barn
Three-bay enclosed storage shed with attached workshop
Partially Fenced
Driveway
6 total c.f.s. (cubic feet/second) of deeded water rights via an irrigated ditch system
60 shares of augmented water rights secured via the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District

Development Test Well Permit #254406--A
Permits on file

Flexibility to Build—or Conserve

This parcel has been part of a development review process with Gunnison County. A submitted proposal for 84 single-family lots and 24 deed restricted units was denied by the Planning Commission in January 2026. The parcel, however, remains and attractive site for development due to its connectivity to CB South and transit, as well as its water resources.

While this groundwork offers a head start for a future buyer, plenty of space remains for a reimagined development plan, or a pivot toward a conservation-based vision.

Whether you're a developer, land steward, or someone with a long-term vision for the Gunnison Valley, this property offers both possibility and place.
