🏡 NEW LISTING | HUBERT'S FISHING HOLE — 11109 County Road 742, Almont, CO

Some properties are just addresses. This one is a life.

Tucked within a breathtaking stretch of Taylor Canyon, this rare riverfront estate in Whitewater Estates sits on 1.56 acres with ~140 ft of private river frontage extending to both banks of the legendary Taylor River — one of Colorado's most celebrated Gold Medal tailwater fisheries.

Here's what makes this extraordinary: only ~65 true riverfront homes exist along a 20-mile stretch of the Taylor between Almont and Taylor Dam. Most are treasured family legacies, passed from generation to generation and never listed. This is your moment.

🏠 THE HOME
3 bedrooms | 2 baths | hardwood floors throughout | tall ceilings with quality trimwork | expansive windows that frame the river. Two living areas, each with their own heat source — a cozy woodstove and a propane fireplace. A gourmet kitchen with cherry cabinetry and stainless appliances. A formal dining area. A primary suite retreat with dual sinks, whirlpool bath tub, walk-in shower, and large walk-in closet. The home sits elevated in the pines — a true treehouse above the river. Handicap accessible.

🎣 THE FISHING
Step off the deck and you're already there. Right out back, giant boulders create prime natural habitat for trophy trout. A private homeowner road one lot away leads directly to the riverbank and coveted fishing runs. Whitewater Estates ownership includes ~½ mile of shared private Gold Medal waters, plus access to nearby public stretches. World-class fly fishing, right at your door.

🌲 OUTDOOR LIVING
The expansive deck is made for all-day canyon living — watch rafters drift by, listen to the river below. A newer detached 2-car garage handles the UTVs and gear. The grounds are naturally wooded front and back — a diamond in the rough waiting for the right owner.

📍 Taylor Canyon places you amid stunning rock formations with easy access to both Crested Butte and Gunnison.

Septic pumped and inspected 6/2026 — reports available. Some photos digitally enhanced for lighting/staging.
