Casa Barraca lies along the south rim of the internationally recognized Black Canyon of the Gunnison River. This scenic canyon is so impressive that it is one of Colorados must see national parks. Casa Barranca consists of an exceptional custom-built home on 33 acres, tucked into a hillside within the boundary of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Privately gated and just over one-half mile from the park entrance, there is little to distinguish this exceptional property from the park. Inspiring views from the Casa look into the canyon with the snowcapped peaks of the West Elk Mountains in the background.
Protected by the park boundaries, Casa Barraca is quite secluded yet very convenient to the charming community of Montrose, Colorado. With the park serving as a sanctuary for the diverse wildlife of the area, the property is frequently visited by elk, deer, bear, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and other species. Outstanding fishing is minutes away at the bottom of the canyon below Crystal River Dam on the renowned Gunnison River.
In addition to the spectacular site, the Casa itself is an exceptionally well built home, luxuriously appointed and meticulously landscaped. The home was constructed in 2010 with many features ideal for entertaining guests and the owners enjoyment.
