RANCHI...

RANCHING

The ranch can run 275 pair. The vast grazing lands and steep canyon walls make for a majestic ranch setting. A creek fed by multiple springs divides the ranch providing nature’s resource to your cattle and wildlife. This ranch is well watered, and many of the natural springs would need very little improvement to make them more functional. There are at least three active springs on private land and several more on BLM acreage. Roughly 3498 acres of the deeded ground falls under a conservation easement held by Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust, protecting from over-development and stabilizing the magnificent agricultural, wildlife and hunting opportunities. This easement is very well written and allows owners to enjoy the land in its entirety while preserving this profound habitat. It is VERY understanding about the needs of a rancher and will accommodate the new owner with their ranching needs! There are 3 building envelopes with the ranch for new owners to consider building homes and more infrastructure. There is an additional 794 acres, within this ranch that is not under the conservation easement.

HISTORY??

There is an incredible array of history on The Green Ranch. Across the entire property, you can find over half a dozen homesteads and old home sites. The owners are fourth-generation ranchers on this land. The headquarters of the Ranch is just off the highway with easy access to and from town. Improvements on the ranch include a massive storage barn and all of the pens needed for running and working your cattle. The nearby home is ready to be remodeled to meet your needs. Beyond this home site, which consists of a ten-acre building envelope, there are two additional five-acre building envelopes strategically located across the 3498 acres on the ranch under the conservation easement. If a Buyer opts to include the additional 794 acres, it offers a plethora of choices for additional building sites.

INCOME OPPORTUNITIES
