Land, Habitat & Recreation
The ranch's landscape transitions from open mountain meadows to thick gambles oak, some pine and aspen to sage brush creating ideal habitat for big game and diverse recreational use.

Located in Colorado Game Management Unit 63, the ranch qualifies for landowner vouchers for mule deer. Elk tags are available over the counter for 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons, with archery, muzzleloader, and 1st and 4th rifle seasons requiring no points. Resident elk are present year-round, with a huge herd calving on the ranch in the spring. There are significant seasonal migrations utilizing the ranch from September through October. Nearby access to the Gunnison River, Blue Mesa Reservoir and Crawford Reservoir further enhances the recreational appeal with excellent fishing opportunities. Not to mention the endless creeks and streams in the National Forest full of trout.

Supporting ranch operations is a three-bay shop, featuring one electric overhead door, two manual doors, and sliding barn doors.

Elk Crest Ranch: Modern Living & Exceptional Equine Facilities
Elk Crest Ranch offers 80 deeded acres with wide views of the West Elk Mountain Range, a strong equestrian setup, productive irrigated ground, and the kind of infrastructure that allows the property to function at a high level from day one. Located just over an hour from Montrose Regional Airport, about 11 minutes from Crawford Reservoir, and approximately 13 minutes from the 4,900-foot asphalt airstrip at Crawford Airport, the ranch combines privacy and utility with convenient access to recreation and travel.
The home is built for comfortable year-round living, with a modern single-level layout, in-floor radiant heat, concrete floors, Daikin mini-split systems in each bedroom, and generous covered porches that take in the surrounding mountain views. Recent improvements to the main house include professional stucco and stonework, a new roof, reverse osmosis drinking water, an on-demand hot water heater, matching exterior window dormers, and a newly added front porch with concrete work and grading. Each residence on the property is well insulated and supported by multiple heating and cooling sources, which adds another layer of everyday practicality.
The ranch's equestrian infrastructure is one of its defining strengths. A fully engineered 300'x150' competition arena is fenced and finished with paddocks and pasture, professionally installed heated Ritchie waterers, and multiple patience poles. There is also a round pen at the arena and another in the rear paddock, along with a private trot trail. A custom four-stall barn and tack room adds functionality, with a concrete cross aisle, ceiling fans, no open rafters in the ceiling, new electrical, heated waterers in each stall, Noble feeders, dusk-to-dawn exterior lighting, and a tack room with heat, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan. The setup is practical, well thought out, and ready for real use rather than future planning.
Water and agricultural function are also well established. The property includes two pivots and 1,680 shares of Fruitland irrigation, supporting approximately 35 acres of hay production and 5 acres of pasture. Pivot stops have been moved, and hay sprinklers were added to reach outer areas, making the irrigation setup more complete and more efficient. Domestic water infrastructure has also been improved with a new well pressure tank, a cistern system with two domestic taps, and professionally installed cistern pumps.
Beyond the main home and horse improvements, the ranch includes a strong collection of supporting structures. The one-bedroom, one-bath cabin with loft has been significantly upgraded with new appliances, a bathroom, kitchen, septic, a new bedroom area, custom soft-close cabinetry, a carpeted loft, an upgraded electrical box, relocated power supply, and professional stucco work. A new block equipment wash house with a roll-up door, full electrical, and a 35x35 concrete pad adds additional utility, while the new hay barn, upgraded equipment shed with added enclosure and electrical, and professionally installed diesel and gas storage tanks with gravity-fed pumps further strengthen the property's operational capacity. The ranch is also supported by three septic systems, serving the main house, the cabin, and the RV dump at the equipment shed.
The work done here is not cosmetic. More than 60 dump truck loads of fill were brought in, along with a road cut connecting the two driveways from the main house and the cabin for easier access to the arena and the rest of the property. There is also an obstacle course and trail through the junipers that can be used for horses, dirt bikes, or ATVs, adding another layer of recreation beyond the ranch's core function.
Elk Crest Ranch is a property where the major pieces are already in place. The home, equestrian facilities, water systems, and supporting infrastructure all work together to create a ranch that is comfortable to live on, capable of supporting serious horse use, and positioned for long-term enjoyment. It is the kind of Western Colorado property that offers both immediate function and lasting versatility.

Wolf Park Hunting Ranch - 249.5 Acre Colorado Mountain Hunting Property Surrounded by Public Land
Wolf Park Hunting Ranch is a 249.5 acre (by survey) mountain property near Hotchkiss, Colorado, offering something increasingly rare: a private deeded base surrounded by 12,700+ acres of BLM public land the owner can hunt, in country that's extremely difficult to access any other way. For the serious mule deer and elk hunter, this is a gateway property - the kind of holding that turns thousands of acres of public land into your personal backcountry.
Landowner Preference Points & GMU 52 Tags
Because the ranch consists of more than 160 contiguous acres, it qualifies for Colorado's Landowner Preference Program (LPP), giving the owner access to landowner tags in the draw. The property typically qualifies for 3 landowner preference point tags per year, depending on the season applied for - a meaningful advantage in a unit where quality mule deer tags are in high demand.
GMU 52 is one of Colorado's most respected mule deer units, and its reputation speaks for itself: the unit was recently hunted by well-known public-land hunting figure Randy Newberg, who has called it one of his favorite mule deer areas in the state. For elk, Colorado resident landowners may also have over-the-counter tag opportunities in this area - worth verifying with CPW for the current season structure.
Elk Push Down From the Grand Mesa
Elk hunting here benefits from a pattern local hunters know well. As public land pressure builds at higher elevations on the Grand Mesa during hunting seasons, elk consistently push down into this lower country - creating excellent rifle season opportunities on and around the ranch when the high country empties out.
Water, Feed & Habitat That Holds Game
Wildlife has every reason to stay on this property. A natural spring runs on the ranch, and Jay Creek, a seasonal creek, flows through it. Combined with good forage and established feed areas, the deeded ground concentrates deer and elk right where you can hunt them - or use it as your launch point into the surrounding public land.
Controlled Access to 12,700+ Acres of BLM
The ranch is surrounded by BLM public lands, and its greatest strategic value is access. Developed UTV and Jeep roads run from the property directly onto the BLM, and a network of trails allows easy, quiet movement into the surrounding hunting country - an enormous advantage in terrain that's otherwise extremely difficult to reach. Effective control of access means less pressure, less competition, and better hunting.
Building Sites & Conservation Easement
Approximately 160 acres of the ranch are protected under a conservation easement, preserving the property's open character and habitat value. The two best building areas - totaling roughly 80 acres - are not encumbered by the easement, leaving room to develop. Improvements here would be off-grid cabins, with water available either by drilling a well or developing the existing natural spring. It's an ideal setup for a hunting camp, seasonal retreat, or self-reliant mountain cabin.
The Hotchkiss Area
The ranch sits in the Hotchkiss area of Delta County, in the North Fork Valley - a part of western Colorado known for its orchards, vineyards, small-farm agriculture, and easy access to some of the state's best public land. Hotchkiss and nearby Paonia offer everyday necessities, dining, and community, with Delta and Montrose a short drive for larger shopping and services. It's remote enough for genuine solitude, close enough to be practical.
Grazing, Recreation & Convenience
Beyond hunting, the property offers good forage and grazing potential and multiple trail systems throughout for riding, UTV use, and exploring.
Wolf Park Hunting Ranch is a rare opportunity to own the key to a vast, low-pressure public-land hunting area, anchored by a productive deeded property with water, feed, terrain that big game favor year-round, and room to build an off-grid retreat of your own.

Highway 65 Creekfront Investment Property - Shop, Apartment & Two Homes on 4.77 Acres in Orchard City, CO
This one-of-a-kind mixed-use property on 4.77 acres offers a rare combination of commercial and residential income, a beautiful creekfront setting, and a prime highway-frontage location in Orchard City, Colorado. With four separate rental units-a high-visibility shop, an upstairs apartment, a newer single-wide, and a well-maintained double-wide-already producing steady income, plus Surface Creek running right through the middle of the land, this is an opportunity to own an income-producing property and a stunning private building site all in one. Offered at $750,000 with an approximate 9.8% gross CAP rate.
Property Overview
The offering spans 4.77 acres and includes four distinct income-producing rental units. The centerpiece is a versatile shop building with a separate upstairs apartment: the shop measures 1,545 square feet, while the spacious apartment adds 1,200 square feet-each rented independently for two separate income streams. Rounding out the property are two mobile homes-a newer 3 bed/2 bath single-wide and an older but well-maintained 3 bed/2 bath double-wide. All four units are in good condition and function as attractive, rentable spaces.
A Versatile, High-Visibility Shop
The shop is a standout feature with real commercial flexibility and high visibility right on Highway 65. It offers an oversized 13-foot garage door plus a smaller garage door and has previously served as the home of a garage door installation company and a sign company. Inside you'll find a welcoming front office area, generous storage with two lofts, a convenient half bath, and a back room suitable for an office, laundry, or maintenance space. As a standalone commercial rental, it draws dependable demand from tradespeople, contractors, and small businesses looking for shop space with highway frontage.
A Spacious Upstairs Apartment
Rented separately from the shop, the upstairs apartment is big and spacious, featuring a large living room, full kitchen, and a bedroom with a full bath. The apartment opens to a pleasant north-facing patio with a garden area and a shed behind it-making it a comfortable, self-contained residential unit that adds a fourth income stream to the property.
Two Well-Maintained Homes
Both mobile homes add dependable residential income. The single-wide is a newer home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and has been well maintained throughout. The double-wide is an older model but equally well cared for, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and updated flooring. A two-car garage sits next to the double-wide, adding valuable covered parking and storage. Both mobile homes are purged, offering added peace of mind. Together with the shop and apartment, they provide four diversified rental streams under one ownership.
Strong Rental Income and Return
This property is a true income producer with four separate units. Combined rents total $6,145 per month, or $73,740 per year, which equates to an approximate 9.8% gross CAP rate at the $750,000 list price. With income drawn from both commercial and residential demand across four units, the cash flow is diversified and resilient. (As with any investment, buyers should factor in operating expenses such as taxes, insurance, maintenance, and vacancy to determine net returns.) All units are well maintained and rent-ready, keeping turnover and upkeep manageable for an investor.
A Rare Creekfront Setting and Building Opportunity
What truly sets this property apart is the land itself. Surface Creek runs through the middle of the 4.77 acres, and a casual gravel driveway leads down to a bridge that crosses the creek into a peaceful meadow area surrounded by trees. It's an ideal spot for a future home-and remarkably, the highway noise is surprisingly quiet down by the creek. For a buyer who wants to live on-site while collecting rental income, or hold the parcel for future development, the creekfront meadow is a rare and beautiful bonus that's hard to find on income property.
Prime Location and Utilities
The property fronts Highway 65 along its eastern boundary, right at the turnoff to 2100 Road-a locally used shortcut to and from the North Fork Valley-giving it excellent visibility and easy access. It's serviced by town of Orchard City water, natural gas, and Elevate Fiber internet, so modern connectivity and reliable utilities are already in place. Situated on the sunny southern slope of the Grand Mesa near Cedaredge, the area offers abundant Western Slope recreation, from fishing and hiking to hunting and skiing, along with the small-town charm and steady housing demand of Colorado's Surface Creek Valley.
A Unique Investment Opportunity
Few properties combine commercial versatility, multiple residential income streams, highway frontage, and a private creekfront building site on nearly five acres. Whether you're an investor seeking diversified cash flow, an owner-operator wanting a shop and living space with tenants to offset costs, or a buyer dreaming of a creekside home with built-in income, this Highway 65 property delivers a rare mix of opportunity. Offered at $750,000.

With over 185 irrigated acres supported by 116.5 shares of Short Ditch Company, 116.5 shares of Short Ditch Extension Company, and 237.5 shares of The Smith McKnight Ditch Company, the ranch is well-positioned for continued hay production, grazing, and waterfowl habitat.

Delta County - 20987 Highway 92, Delta, CO
Located in Delta County, Colorado, this 74 deeded acre ranch includes approximately one-half mile of Gunnison River frontage. Old-growth cottonwoods, 34 acres of irrigated meadows, and senior water rights give the property both beauty and function. This is a usable river ranch with paved year-round access off Highway 92, convenient proximity to Delta and Montrose Regional Airport, and the kind of layout that supports equestrian, agricultural, and recreational use.
Water is a central part of what makes this property work. The ranch benefits from senior water rights dating back generations, and that history shows up on the ground. The meadows are productive, the pasture is strong, and the irrigation gives the ranch real agricultural and equestrian value. For a buyer looking for a horse property in the Mountain West, that combination matters. Mild winters, dry summers, quality pasture, and room for further improvements create the kind of flexibility that is hard to replicate.
Recreation is a real part of this ranch's value. With Gunnison River frontage, the property offers exceptional brown trout and rainbow trout fishing, creating the kind of everyday access to quality water that makes ownership more meaningful. It is easy to picture quiet mornings on the river, evenings spent under the cottonwoods, and the simple benefit of having strong fishing as part of the property rather than something that requires planning, travel, or permission.
The river corridor and 34 acres of irrigated meadows also support productive duck hunting, bringing another dimension to the ranch's sporting value. The combination of water, habitat, and usable ground helps create a property that is enjoyable in more than one season and for more than one purpose. For the buyer who values time outdoors, it is the kind of ranch that offers not just scenery, but experience.
The ranch is well suited for horses and livestock, with ground that can support an arena, barns, and additional agricultural improvements. It also offers an improved riverfront homesite, giving the next owner a strong starting point rather than a blank slate. You can live here full time, build out an equestrian setup, or create a private base for fishing, riding, and day-to-day ranch life.
With no conservation easement in place, the next owner has the ability to shape the land in a way that fits their goals, whether that means improving the horse setup, strengthening the agricultural operation, building a home that fits the setting, or simply holding a stretch of productive river ground for the next generation.
Delta River Ranch is a property with the right fundamentals: river frontage, senior water, irrigated pasture, practical access, and a setting that supports both daily use and long-term value.

Landscaping trees are in high demand in Western Colorado-and these are ready for market!
Landscaping contractors, landscape architects and homeowners in Colorado ski towns and resort communities are constantly on the search for quality trees in certain sizes. Certain varieties, such as Colorado Blue Spruce, Austrian Pine, Lanceleaf Cottonwoods, Narrowleaf Cottonwoods (both are hybrid cottonless varieties), Newport Flowering Plums, Locusts, Aspens and a wide variety of fruit trees such as Bing and Stella cherries, Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, and Granny Smith apples. There are also Bartlett and Seckel pear, Tilton apricots and more. Deciduous trees (Leafy) are sold by the "caliper inch"-when measured with a tree caliper, the price is calculated by the thickness of the trunk. In resort towns such as Aspen and Crested Butte, quality trees can fetch $100-$150 a caliper inch, meaning that a tree with a 3" trunk could be worth over $450. Coniferous trees (Pines) are sold by the foot of height. There are hundreds of Blue Spruce both dug and "healed in" ready for sale and actively growing in the field. This property has 2,500 such trees, so do the math! There is over $1,000,000 in inventory that is growing larger every day. Not only that, the total capacity of the property is a total of 15,000 trees. Currently part of the field is in quality grass-alfalfa hay, while other sections are fallow and ready for development. The location of this property is ideal to serve several large tree markets-Grand Junction, Telluride, Ridgway, Aspen, Snowmass, Glenwood Springs, Basalt, Carbondale, Gunnison, and Crested Butte are all within a 2-hour radius of the farm.

Domestic water is through Orchard City and the property is on a septic system.

Known for its strong agricultural roots, vibrant arts community, and laid-back pace, the valley offers an authentic rural lifestyle without sacrificing culture or connection. From local wineries and farm-to-table dining to endless outdoor recreation, hunting, fishing, hiking, and cross country skiing nearby.
