One of the most beautiful properties in Colorado. 317 Acres, currently zoned agricultural, subdivided into nine 35 +- acre parcels. This property was featured on the front page of the 2008 Wells Fargo calendar as well as several Marlboro magazine ads. 360 degree views from 3 different Lots, full San Juan views from most every other lot. This parcel has water rights, approximately 70 acres of irrigated pasture and an acre pond and hosts elk, deer, bear, turkey and all the predators. Borders 900 acre Elk Foundation easement to the East.

There are 9 contiguous lots which comprise the 317 acres. Lots 1, 2 and 10 are owned by one of the family owner and not included with this offering.  Lot 10 has this family member’s house on it.

Every Lot has a great view: 

Lot 6 and 9 will have 360 degree views of full San Juan Mtn range, Cimarron Mtn range, north to Grand Mesa. 

Lots 11, 12, 3 and 8 will have full San Juan and will also pick up partial Cimarron Mtn range and Horsefly Mesa.  LOT 8 has the pond on it and is where the Wells Fargo picture in the slide show above was taken.

Lot 7 will pick up about 3/4 of the San Juan Mtn range and full Cimarron Mtn range. 

Lot 4 and 5 will have partial San Juan Mtn range, full Cimarron Mtn range and views to the north all the way to Grand Mesa. 

From the family… 

The water situation is somewhat ambiguous due to the Town of Ridgway having priority. The language in the decree states we own all the water that flows in the ditch which the Town does not use for "domestic and municipal" purposes. Since the Town does not measure the amount of water they use, we have never been able to quantify the exact amount of water we get. All I can tell  you is that we have been supplied water most every year, but at the Town's discretion. We can clarify these rights if a Buyer is interested after viewing. In the event a Buyer does purchase this property, there will need to be some sort of water agreement which will be made between them and myself, since my property (which sits down stream) has irrigated land. 

Other info…the home (which sits on Lot 10) has a Well that produces 17 gpm and most other properties around me have ample ground water. Utilities boarder the property in CR5 and will need to be brought in. There is no maintained road accessing any of the parcels. There is an Elk Foundation easement which borders this property on the North and East boundaries. There are no covenants or restrictions, but any structure will be bound to the Ouray County Planning and Zoning. This is considered Alpine Zone, and the density is restricted to a 35 acre minimum.
