18028 George Creek Rd Cedaredge CO 81413

Description

This Western Colorado offering consists of two separate properties that are currently being used as a successful family cow-calf operation. They can be purchased together or separately and are approximately 30 minutes apart. The upper ranch-the 1,041-acre George Creek parcel- located approximately 8 miles from Cedaredge, Colorado, sits on the picturesque Southern end of the Grand Mesa, the world's largest flat-topped mountain, and only 50 minutes from the Powderhorn Ski Resort. This property is 45 minutes from the Montrose Regional Airport which provides easy access to multiple destinations daily. The area offers hundreds of fishing lakes in the summer and incredible snowmobiling in the winter with walking access to the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area and the Ute Trail from the Peach Valley parcel.

The picturesque ranch has good water rights for its 355 irrigated acres and comes with summer grazing permits for 420 head on BLM and National Forest land. Even as a full-time cattle ranch, the owners have taken numerous quality mule deer bucks, bull elk, black bears, and wild turkeys on the property. With a reduction in cattle numbers the ranch could be set up as an excellent hunting ranch. You could hold many more elk and deer and the spring turkey hunting would be exceptional. Bull tags are available over the counter for every season except the first rifle season and buck tags are a draw statewide, but the ranch gets landowner deer vouchers giving you at least one buck tag per year. There is even a bald eagle nest and several black bear dens on the property where the owners watch the cubs emerge and grow in the spring.
