Kannah Creek—pristine setting 20 minutes from Grand Junction
Grand Junction is the hub of Western Colorado commerce. A city of 120,000, Grand Junction is a busy small city. Colorado Mesa University, formerly known as Mesa State, is expanding rapidly. Many gas and oil exploration companies are based here, as well as regional banks, large law offices, a grocery chain, and manufacturing businesses. There is a large regional airport that serves major destinations with direct flights to Los Angeles, Dallas, and Salt Lake City.
The absolute nicest executive retreat in the Grand Junction area
The Kannah Creek Retreat is absolutely the finest executive residence in Western Colorado. With over 8,000 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 8 ½ baths, pool, casita or guest apartment, two outbuilding garages, executive office, safe room, game room, oversized 3-car garage to accommodate RV’s and toys, chef’s kitchen, surround sound, gas fireplaces, security system, and custom finishes throughout, this is a true luxury property with custom construction. At 24 acres, the property is large enough for privacy but small enough to maintain.
Private creekside setting on Kannah Creek
The Retreat on Kannah Creek is only 17 miles from busy downtown Grand Junction, but it’s a world away. Kannah Creek Road is a quiet country road that extends to the base of the western end of the famous Grand Mesa. The neighborhood consists of small ranches and farms, irrigated horse properties, and tracts of open public lands. Average parcel sizes range from 15 to 160 acres. Several properties are well-improved luxury ranches. Access is easy and year-round, and the road to the property is paved.
Outstanding Colorado hunting and fishing property in GMU 41
Only a couple of miles up the road from the Kannah Creek Retreat is a trailhead with access to hundreds of thousands of acres of the Grand Mesa National Forest and local BLM lands. Hunting in the Kannah Creek area is excellent for deer, elk, bear, blue grouse, and wild turkey. GMU 41 is known for excellent mule deer bucks and branch-antlered bull elk. Originating on the western highlands of the famous Grand Mesa, Kannah Creek tumbles down the mountain until it meets the road, when it slows down to make nice pools and provide habitat for big German browns and healthy cutthroat trout. Fishing in the creek can be very good, with some fish up to 18 inches. Kannah Creek meanders through the Kannah Creek Retreat.
Beautifully landscaped property with horse pasture, pond, pool
A great part of the allure of the Kannah Creek Retreat is the special care and attention that has been paid to its exterior setting. The outdoor cabana has a grill kitchen, speakers, pool, slide, and expansive party area. Do you want a nice place to entertain? Look no further. This place is planned around hosting large gatherings in luxury and comfort. The pond has been landscaped to feature a water fountain with a sculpture of bears in the wild, and of course the pond is stocked with fat trout. The driveway into the property is paved and lighted with stone columns along the drive, and the main entry features a beautiful bronze elk sculpture.
Car collectors, hobbyists, RV fans—plenty of garage space in shop, outbuildings, and garage
We often receive inquiries from buyers looking for properties with lots of storage space. Classic car collectors, RV enthusiasts, hobbyists restoring old tractors, ATV and motorcycle enthusiasts—they need space to store their stuff. The Kannah Creek Retreat has a 40x60 metal shop building for equipment and machinery; two exterior garages, each with two slots for vehicles and an upstairs apartment/storage area; three oversize garage bays in the main home, one of which will accommodate a large RV; and a personal garage bay immediately adjacent to the kitchen for a handicapped person or the lady of the house to bring groceries right into the house.
Colorado luxury horse property with irrigated pastures
The Kannah Creek Retreat can also be used as a horse property. With approximately 15 irrigated acres, there’s plenty of room to keep 8 or 10 horses. Nearby riding trails lead far into the backcountry.
Mountain recreation property—skiing, hunting, snowmobiling, horseback riding, rafting
There’s a reason why the Kannah Creek Retreat has so many guest bedrooms—you’ll get plenty of company because there’s so much fun to be had. Powderhorn Ski Area, a good family resort, is an hour away; whitewater rafting on the nearby Colorado and Gunnison rivers is outstanding; there’s all kinds of mountain biking in the Grand Junction area; trails for horseback riding and hiking extend all over the Grand Mesa and the Escalante Canyon areas; and have you ever gone snowmobiling on the Grand Mesa? You can make a 100-mile loop and never ride the same trail twice. Yet the winter climate at the ranch is mild and the winters are relatively easy. It’s an outstanding recreation property.
