Location
The Double B Ranch is located on Battlement Mesa, on the South side of the Colorado River basin and the I-70 corridor. The town of Parachute is only a short drive away and lies about halfway in between Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction. This area is known for its mild climate, the variety of vegetation, and almost unlimited recreational opportunities. Parachute conveniently provides schools, shops, golf course, restaurants and grocery stores. Grand Junction is home to a regional airport as well as Colorado Mesa University. Glenwood Springs is home to famous hot springs, historic hotels, and serves as the gateway to Aspen, Snowmass, and the Maroon Bells.
Recreational Opportunites
Whether you prefer to hunt, hike, fish or ride, you can do it all right out the back door of the Double B Ranch. This area is well known for its diversity of wildlife, including Elk, Mule Deer, Moose, Black Bear, Grouse, Ducks, and Geese. With thousands of acres of BLM bordering the ranch, there is always the opportunity to ride further, hunt farther, and hike harder, because you never know what may lie on the other side of that next ridge... If fishing is your vice, the famous Colorado River provides ample opportunity to catch trout year-round. In addition, there is an untold number of small mountain lakes and streams on the mesa that provides that pure backcountry fly-fishing experience that our grandfathers cherished.
Hunting
This part of the state, and this ranch in particular, is known for its abundant big game! This property is located in GMU 42, which is an Over-the-Counter Unit for Elk (archery, 2nd & 3rd rifle). This ranch qualifies for Landowner Mule Deer tags and produces good quality bucks every year. Bear tags are also available through the limited draw and there are some beautiful color phase bears feeding on the local berry bushes. The combination of dark timber, aspen quakies, ponds, and irrigated fields make the perfect habitat to hold game on the ranch year-round.
Improvements
As impressive as the ranch is, the custom built home on the Double B boasts quality and attention to detail. The living room includes vaulted ceilings, picture windows overlooking the meadow, and a large stone fireplace. The kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, large kitchen island, and custom cabinets. The east wing of the house is where the master suite is located and includes a walk-in closet, jetted tub and large shower. There are two additional bedrooms as well as a large mother-in-law suite above the oversized three car garages. The list of quality home attributes are too long to list here, but we're happy to share more upon request!
