Redvale Canyon Ranch

Property The 550± Redvale Canyon Ranch is located 47 miles west of Telluride, Colorado. The ranch encompasses a beautifully timbered canyon featuring two miles of Naturita Creek which meanders through the canyon floor, 80± acres of irrigated meadows, livestock pastures, a modest ranch home, outstanding horse barn with living quarters and majestic mountain views in all directions. It is comprised of two parcels separated by one-quarter mile of U.S. Bureau of Land Management public land. Colorado Highway 145 splits off a 2 _ acre home site to the north, which includes a pond, cottonwood trees, and irrigation water. Location The ranch is located 6 miles west of Redvale on Hwy 145 in Montrose County. It is 47 miles North West of the Telluride Ski Resort and 10 miles west of Norwood. Commercial air service is available to Telluride and Montrose. Fishing & Stream Habitat Naturita Creek, which flows out of Miramonte Reservoir crosses the ranch for almost 2 miles. Miramonte is one of the premier trout lakes in the area which provides a source of fish for the creek. Beavers have utilized the cottonwood trees and willows to construct a series of dams providing for challenging fishing and enhanced habitat for many species of wildlife. Wildlife Many elk and deer call this area home – as well as the occasional Black Bear and Mountain Lion. A large variety of other small animals and game birds also share this territory. The ranch is located in Colorado Division of Wildlife Big Game Management unit 70. In this unit rifle elk licenses are currently available on an over-the-counter basis. This property provides ample opportunity for the hunter or for an owner who prefers to only observe the wildlife. Water & Water Rights Domestic water is provided by two wells. The older well was rated at 7 g.p.m. while the newer one is rated at 6 g.p.m. The home and apartment utilizes a cistern system for increased storage capacity. The water is high in mineral content but can be treated with a softener system. Irrigation water is provided by 20 shares of the Farmers Irrigation Ditch, 1.5 cubic feet/second of the Austrian Twin Ditch and the Skalla Ditch which is a source of return flow water from the irrigated lands above the ranch. The owner considers the Farmers Irrigation Ditch water to be sufficient to irrigate 40 acres or perhaps 50 if more gated pipe is used.
