Angler's Paradise | 2 Fishing Badges & Open Space

Tucked between Carbondale and Basalt, this 3BR, 2BA retreat offers private fly-fishing access, 360 acres of open space, a fenced yard, gas fireplace, and a fully stocked kitchen.

Nestled on a third of an acre in the Ranch at Roaring Fork, this three-bedroom, two-bath home invites you into a rhythm that’s slower, simpler, and rich with outdoor charm.

The fully equipped kitchen is designed for ease and connection, with a breakfast bar, extendable dining table, and sliding glass doors that lead out to your private deck.

Inside, a smart TV, relaxed furniture, and soft lighting make it easy to settle in and linger. For the little travelers, enjoy a high chair and toys.
