What is the Crawford Colorado area like?

Crawford is the epitome of small-town living. A humble little cow town that takes pride in its heritage. Currently, a downtown revival is underway with many of the historic buildings being renovated and housing successful businesses. As many cow towns have dried up and are skeletons of their past, Crawford has rejuvenated life and there is a buzz of activity around the town. You will find a restaurant/bar, post office, hardware store, coffee shop, park, town hall, library, gift shop and other emerging businesses. Just up the road out of town is the Desperado gas station that supports the area. Beyond the gas station is Crawford State Park a camping, water sports, and fishing destination. There are some incredible landmark sites like the Needle Rock, Saddle Mountain and the awe-inspiring Black Canyon of the Gunnison, a seasonal National Park destination offering endless exploration opportunities.

The Pulse of Crawford and the Surrounding North Fork Valley

In the nearby area there are 2 other small-towns Hotchkiss and Paonia. Each one unique, but all bringing certain commerce and essentials to the area. Farming in all aspects and size has become a viable lifestyle for many who provide farm fresh and organically raised fruits, vegetables, pork, beef, and chicken. Some choose to sell their goods and some grow and harvest for their own use. Many locals as well as tourists enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, hunting, climbing, camping, snowmobiling, atv riding, and horseback riding amidst the breathtaking wilderness. There are even a couple vineyards in the Paonia area to enjoy.

Don't miss out on the chance to make Mountain View Ranch your own—a place where peace, relaxation, adventure and luxury converge beneath Colorado's vibrant skies.

The hay ground is leased for the 2024 haying season.
