Almont, CO Real Estate

The unincorporated community of Almont is located between Crested Butte and Gunnison and was originally named Fisher for the founding family but was then changed to honor a famous racehorse of the late 19th century. In its early history, Almont served as a depot for the various nearby mines to store ore that would later be sent to the larger neighboring town of Gunnison. 

Almont is a charming, rural community ensconced by breathtaking mountain scenery and settled at the confluence of the East River and the Taylor River in the heart of Colorado mountains.

Home buyers looking to call Almont home will find sprawling parcels — often more than 30 acres — ready for purchase and development. Homes already built typically reflect the area’s agrarian feel and are styled as posh mountain cabins and spacious ranch estates, which are sometimes tucked away in private communities or perched on hillsides.

About Almont, Colorado

From the towering pines pressed into cragged hills to the babbling brooks, powerful rivers, and broad sweeps of countryside, there’s a cornucopia of glorious nature in this rural dreamland.

In the southern portion of Almont, the Taylor River and the East River converge to form the mighty waters of the Gunnison River. The surplus of waterways has established the town as a fishing paradise, as well as Gunnison County’s recreational hub for whitewater rafting. First platted in 1881, Almont is largely defined by its surrounding rivers and bucolic lifestyle and is unhindered by large tourism crowds or commercial corridors.

A history steeped in ranching and agriculture planted the charismatic, country roots of Gunnison and the surrounding landscapes. The wide open feel appeals to the adventurer and rancher alike, both drawn to its spellbinding landscape of table mesas, pine-blanketed mountains, and rushing rivers.
