ABOUT STAR MOUNTAIN RANCH

There are two private gated entrances and owners enjoy year round access and underground utilities to each homesite. Gunnison, Colorado is located 30 minutes from Star Mountain Ranch.
The Star Mountain Ranch fishing amenity includes a private and stocked pond and a stretch of private water on Carbon Creek. The Star Mountain Ranch pond is approximately 1.5 acres in size. It was stocked with Rainbows and Cuttbows in May 2014. The current size of trout are from 11″ to 18″. The pond may be used for sport or owners are able to keep what they need for eating. Any method of lures, bait or flies is allowed. The Star Mountain Ranch pond is very good for children, novices or just people that want convenience. A several year project has improved the fishery on Carbon Creek. The HOA cleared the first 1200′ which is approximately 1/3 of the stretch of Carbon Creek on SMR property. With out any habitat improvements, Carbon Creek is already a productive stream full of Brown and Brook trout. This stretch of Carbon Creek is fly fishing only and restricted to catch and release fishing.
