The Property

The amazing views in every direction are the first thing that impress you about the Smith Sims Mesa 280 acre property. You see the towering San Juan Mountains to the south, the Cimarron Range to the southeast and Grand Mesa to the north.  The next thing that you notice is how private this property feels.  It is quiet and peaceful while still feeling warm, open and friendly.  Then you notice the diversity of this land. The upper portion of the land in the southwest corner is almost flat and covered with sage, Cedar trees, flowers, grass and an incredible view.

As you move to the southeast corner of the property you come to a rugged canyon that extends about a quarter of a mile in a northeasterly direction. Sharp rock walls and a heavily vegitated floor make the canyon a mysterious and intriguing place to explore.

The northeast corner of the property slopes gently down about 100 feet to the valley floor. This area is filled with sage brush, jeep trails and dry stream beds.  From here you can see the outskirts of Montrose and Grand Mesa in the distance to the north.

The northwest corner of the property slopes gently upward about  100 feet where the access road connects to the county-maintained Sims Mesa Road.

This property has many possible uses including a hunting retreat or a private getaway. There are currently no utilities or improvements on the property but the proximity to Montrose makes this a possibility should you choose to develop the land in the future.

Please note: there is a good passable road that connects the property to the Sims Mesa Road. This access is currently an issue and is under review.
