ALMONT REAL ESTATE
& COMMUNITY GUIDE
SMALL-TOWN COLORADO AT ITS BEST
Almont is located between Gunnison and Crested Butte, where the tumbling waters of the Taylor and East River meet to form the Gunnison River.
Originally named Fishers for the first settler in the area, the town was renamed in 1881 to Almont, after a famous racehorse of the day. In mining times, ore from area camps was brought to Almont to be transported via rail to Gunnison.
Today the town is popular with fishermen and rafters. Featuring ranch resorts, riverside cabins, campsites and rafting outfitters, Almont caters to visitors who appreciate a quieter, simpler vacation. The little town also serves as a great launching point for canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, four-wheel driving and mountain biking.
ALMONT REAL ESTATE
Almont offers a distinctive mountain real estate market between Gunnison and Crested Butte, with properties ranging from cabins and riverfront homes to rural residences, acreage, and undeveloped land. Buyers are drawn to the area for its quieter setting, access to the Taylor and East Rivers, proximity to recreation, and convenient location within the Gunnison Valley.
Real estate in and around Almont can vary significantly from one property to another. Access, utilities, water and septic systems, easements, acreage, land-use requirements, flood considerations, and year-round maintenance can all influence how a mountain or rural property should be evaluated. Nikki Pulitzer helps buyers understand those differences and approach Almont real estate with a clear picture of both the property and the realities of ownership.
ALMONT CABINS, RIVERFRONT HOMES & LAND
Almont is especially appealing to buyers looking for a more rural mountain setting. Depending on location, properties may include cabins, riverfront residences, larger parcels, mountain homes, ranch-style properties, or vacant land surrounded by the natural landscape of the
Gunnison Valley.
These properties can require additional due diligence beyond the home itself. Buyers may need to understand private or seasonal road access, well and septic systems, water rights, easements, snow removal, wildfire exposure, floodplain considerations, utilities, and what future improvements or uses are permitted on the land. Nikki helps clients identify those questions early so they can better understand what they are purchasing.
WHAT ALMONT BUYERS SHOULD KNOW
Buying in Almont often means evaluating more than square footage and finishes. A property’s access, water source, wastewater system, location near rivers or public lands, insurance needs, maintenance requirements, and permitted uses can have a meaningful impact on ownership.
Nikki helps buyers understand how those factors relate to the way they intend to use the property, whether as a primary residence, mountain retreat, second home, investment property, cabin, acreage, or land in the Gunnison Valley.
