Hubert's Fishing Hole! Rare riverfront estate on the Taylor River in Whitewater Estates — where Gold Medal waters meet Colorado mountain living at its finest. Tucked within a breathtaking canyon stretch, this 1.56-acre property offers approximately 140 feet of private river frontage extending to both banks, plus an additional 1/2 ice of shared stocked waters - an increasingly scarce distinction along one of the West's most celebrated tailwater fisheries. Granite outcroppings, mature pines, and towering aspens frame every view, and the river's sound and motion are a constant, beautiful presence throughout the property. Come autumn, the aspens turn this property into a golden showcase, making fall an especially gorgeous time to be here. To truly appreciate the rarity here: this is just 1 of approximately 65 true riverfront homes (excluding resorts) along a 20-mile stretch of the Taylor between Almont and Taylor Dam. Most never come to market — passed quietly from generation to generation — making this an exceptional and unusual opportunity. This thoughtfully designed one-level home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, including a primary suite, along with hardwood floors throughout, tall ceilings and expansive windows that pull the landscape inside. Two living areas each feature their own heat source — a woodstove and a propane fireplace — creating warm, inviting spaces year-round. The living and kitchen area opens onto a large deck overlooking the river below, where the sound of the water becomes part of everyday living. The large gourmet kitchen offers cherry cabinetry and stainless appliances. The primary suite is complete with dual sinks, a Jacuzzi tub, a walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet. Nestled among the pines at the back of the property, with mature aspens filling the front yard, the home has an unmistakable treehouse feel — elevated above the river and wrapped in nature on every side. The home is also handicap accessible and could be short-term rented if the next owner desires to do so. Outside, the expansive deck is pure Colorado — spend your days watching rafters drift by and fall asleep to the sound of the river. The grounds are intentionally left in their natural, wooded state, a diamond in the rough ready for the right buyer to make it their own. A newer detached 2-car garage provides ample room for UTVs and all the gear that comes with canyon living. Step off the deck and make your way down to the river, or take the easy walk down the private homeowner road just one lot away, leading directly to the riverbank, prime fishing holes, and coveted runs. Right out back, giant boulders create natural structure and ideal habitat for trophy trout. Whitewater Estates ownership includes approximately half a mile of shared private waters, plus access to nearby public stretches, putting world-class fly fishing literally at your door. The Taylor River is celebrated for its consistent flows, exceptional clarity, and thriving trout populations. Taylor Canyon surrounds you with stunning rock formations while keeping both Crested Butte and Gunnison within easy reach. Riverfront properties of this caliber rarely surface — this is your chance to own a piece of one of Colorado's most iconic rivers. ADDIIONAL NOTES: Septic pumped and inspected 6/2026 — reports available. A bridge on the property serves as an access easement for the neighbor across the river only; no bridge access is conveyed to the buyer.
