Description
Nestled just 15 minutes south of the charming town of Mancos, this ranch spans 242 acres of diverse terrain and beautiful landscapes. The property has substantial senior water rights allowing for irrigation of up to 60 acres of lush meadows that not only create a picturesque landscape, but also provide habitat for a variety of wildlife species, including elk, mule deer, and turkeys. Adjacent on the west side is thousands of acres of BLM land that is difficult to access other than through the ranch, providing a vast playground for outdoor adventures right out your doorstep. Weber Creek runs year-round through the length of the property, and has also successfully held stocked trout. There is barn on the property and there is significant irrigation infrastructure, including gated pipe, ditches and a modern drip irrigation system with ultrasonic flow meter and purification filters. The surrounding area has a rich history of once being the ancestral homeland of various Native American tribes and the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mesa Verde National Park, is only a short drive from the ranch. Whether you dream of creating a private oasis, embarking on unforgettable recreational pursuits, or embracing the tranquility of southwestern Colorado, this property promises an unforgettable experience deeply rooted in the legacy of the land's original stewards. The ranch has been placed under a conservation easement with the Montezuma Land Conservancy ensuring the land is protected for future generations. The easement does provide for building envelopes where a future owner would be able to construct a new residence for their enjoyment. There is an additional 816-acres (3217 Road 41) with significant water rights, lush pastures, and Weber Creek frontage that neighbors the ranch to the North and could be purchased in addition to this property (Listed at $5.4 million).
