Montrose County Property

The Property Comprised of several historic ranch holdings, this property was assembled by Bill & Debbie Carstens. To the south lies their very successful Brown Ranch development. It would have been a natural progression for them to continue developing the Montrose County Properties since the roads, power & phone lines are now in place to the south. They have chosen to make a bulk sale allowing a future purchaser a great variety of possibilities. It is in prime condition for development, land investment & holding, recreation or for use as a working ranch. Consisting of 5420 (+/-) deeded acres, this magnificent alpine property is located near the south end of the Uncompahgre Plateau, between Telluride, Montrose, and Ridgway Colorado. Majestic views of the surrounding mountain peaks are dynamic & breathtaking. This property shares a common boundary for over 6 miles with the National Forest. Large herds of elk and deer inhabit the property. Black bear, wild turkey and many other smaller species are also present. It is located in Trophy Elk hunting Unit 61. Located just 30 miles northwest of the Telluride Ski resort and a virtual mecca of year-round recreational activities, which include down-hill and cross country skiing, big game hunting, stream & lake fishing, hiking and snowmobiling to name a few. Vegetation/Terrain Vegetation consist of large stands of Quaking Aspen & Ponderosa Pine interspersed with large grass and flower filled meadows. The elevation ranges from 8,400 to 9,000 ft. Water Rights / Surveys/ Title Work Horsefly Creek traverses the property for over 2 miles. Extensive decreed water rights provide the possibility of a 200 surface acre lake. There are numerous other small drainages, springs and ponds scattered throughout the property as sources of water for livestock & wildlife. Surveys, plats and title work are complete and available at contract stage. Zoning / Use / Taxation All the property is located within Montrose County and is currently used for livestock grazing and big game hunting. The current property tax is based upon agricultural use. Other uses are allowed by the land use code. A potential purchaser should review proposed uses with the Montrose County Land Use Department. Utilities / Roads Power and phone lines abut the property at McKenzie Springs Road and are in close proximity to Frontier Road where utility easements exist. Year-round access is available. The property lends itself to division into several large individual parcels with different accesses.
