A historic legacy Colorado cattle ranch and hunting ranch is offered for sale

The Porter Ranch is one of the most historic ranches on the Western Slope, as the forebears of the Porter family gathered up a herd of cattle near Denver in 1880 and drove the herd all the way across the mountains to the Grand Valley on a 3-month cattle drive. It was one of the earliest settled ranches on the Western Slope. The Porter Family has held the ranch for the past 5 generations, raising hay, running cattle, and outfitting hunters on the ranch.

Centrally located on the I-70 corridor between Grand Junction, Aspen, Vail, and Glenwood Springs

The Porter Ranch is easily accessed from Exit 105 on I-70, which parallels the Colorado River as it flows through New Castle and then down to Rifle and Grand Junction. From I-70, it is a short 11-minute drive up Alkali Creek, or County Road 312, to the ranch gate. Glenwood Springs, with its famous Hot Springs Pool, Fairy Caves, and tourist attractions, is just 15 minutes further up I-70, and Aspen is a total of 1:15 from the ranch. Vail is 1:17 from the ranch.

Grand Junction, with its regional airport, Colorado Mesa University, Country Jam, world-class hospitals, and excellent concert venues, is about 1:25 down I-70 from the ranch gate. There are four different airports in fairly close proximity, including Aspen, Vail (which is actually Gypsum, under an hour from the ranch); Grand Junction; and Rifle airport, which doesn’t have connecting flights, but can land large jets. Rifle airport is less than half an hour from the Porter Ranch.

THE WILD MOUNTAIN RANCH


Here is a chance to own one of the best recreational properties in Montana. Wild Mountain Ranch consists of 746 deeded acres and has more water features than most ranches in the area.

Springs flow freely from more than two drainages, feeding off of the Yellowstone Valley and creating good water and rich habitat throughout the ranch. These springs flow down the hillside and converge to fill a one-acre pond. The overflow runs down a couple hundred yards and fills another pond by the camping site, from there, it continues down to the barns and pools up again at the caretaker's house.

The irrigation rights date back to 1899 and allow you to flood irrigate nearly 43 acres. The fields could be turned over and put into grain or alfalfa for excellent game habitat.

Large ranches in the Aspen/Vail/Grand Junction triangle do not often come up for sale, but the Porter Ranch, located just a few miles south of the town of New Castle, is now on the market. The ranch has excellent assets, including 3,526 deeded acres, superior water rights, beautiful year-round climate, irrigated hay meadows, world-class hunting, easy access to I-70 and airports, and a blank slate for future development.

As the saying goes in the West, “whiskey’s for drinking; water’s for fighting,” because water is such a precious resource. The Porter Ranch has several different diversion points from local creeks to water the ranch, as well as a large reservoir situated on the top of a ridge overlooking the basin below. Fed by mountain snowmelt, the reservoir holds 1,175 acre feet of water that is entirely dedicated to the ranch. Further, the Porter family installed a network of underground water pipelines to irrigate close to 800 acres of the ranch with gravity-fed pressurized sprinklers, which makes for an easy job of irrigating and results in quality hay production. There are two large center pivots and an array of big gun sprinklers to reach the best areas on the ranch for hay production.

Serous big game hunters will love the hunting opportunities on the Porter Ranch, which is famous for outstanding hunting for elk, trophy mule deer, and bear, as well as turkey and grouse. The ranch is in the heart of Colorado GMU 42, which has been known as one of the top producers of trophy mule deer bucks since the Boone & Crockett club was organized in the late 1880’s by Teddy Roosevelt and his cohorts. In fact, TR stayed in the famous Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs and his guides took him up Alkali Creek to hunt on the Porter Ranch and adjacent properties for mule deer and bear in 1905. The ranch is classic mule deer and elk habitat, with sagebrush and pinyon-juniper forests in the lower elevations and oak brush mixed with aspens at the higher elevations. The ranch provides critical wildlife habitat, as numerous does and fawns can be spotted while touring the ranch, and herds of elk live on the ranch year-round. Bulls scoring up to 360” have been taken on the property, and many bucks scoring 180”-200” have been harvested on the Porter Ranch, including several Boone & Crockett record-book entries.

Colorado Mountain ranch for sale - Silverado Ranch: Mason & Morse Ranch Company

Silverado Ranch offers the perfect combination of easy year-round access, seclusion, and views. In today’s market rarely do you find such rural acreage along with the ability to stay well connected for a remote working environment. Silverado Ranch provides an authentic mountain setting with good year around access, high speed internet, and cell phone coverage. Elevation on the property ranges from approximately 7,750 feet to just below 8,000 feet near the top of the hill directly behind the barn and shop. No HOA.

LOCATION
Silverado Ranch is an exceptional equestrian rural mountain estate situated in one of the most premier recreational locations in Northwest Colorado. This thoughtfully planned and designed 42.75 acre +/- estate is located about 25 miles southwest of Steamboat Springs and Steamboat Ski Resort, and approximately 65 miles northwest of Interstate 70 and the Vail Valley. Travel time to the Front Range and Denver International Airport is around three hours. Eagle County Regional Airport and Yampa Valley Regional Airport are both less than an hour from Silverado Ranch catering to convenient travel.

ACREAGE AND DESCRIPTION
Around 50% of the property is timbered with intermixed shrub, brush, and mountain pasture. The timber is predominantly beautiful healthy Aspen. The current owners have proactively managed both the soil composition and various vegetative species on the property for optimal production and long-term health. The portions of the property with more dense cover provide great seclusion and habitat for both horses and wildlife. The north side of the forested area has been seeded in Timothy and Mammoth Red Clover. Currently this area is often utilized by elk and mule deer for calving. The mixture of vegetation not only provides great cover and habitat but also an incredible blend of colors come Fall. The remaining 50% of the property is more level to slightly sloping mountain pasture and fenced dry-lot paddocks allowing for plenty of usable land for horses or other livestock.

OPERATIONS
The ranch is perimeter fenced and cross-fenced with treated tenon joint wood fencing. A graveled parking area and some steel pipe fencing surround the pasture shelter in the far southwest portion of the property. There are four 12’ x 36’ pasture shelters with Nelson Waterers to each pasture. Some areas are double fenced making this an ideal set up for a breeding program or to board outside horses. Current ownership has boarded numerous outside horses in years past and this is a very financially feasible option for Silverado Ranch. In addition to riding in the round-pen or in the pastures, there are numerous trails in the surrounding area to ride and keep horses exercised. Trail riding from the front gate along Silverado Road presents some amazing views. For the animal lovers, there are also fenced areas for dogs, goats, and chickens if so desired.

WILDLIFE AND RECREATION
Recreational activities abound in the surrounding neighborhood including skiing, fishing, boating, hiking, biking, snowmobiling, horseback riding, hunting, and camping to name a few. The Flat Tops Wilderness Area, Yampa River, Stagecoach Reservoir, Steamboat Ski Resort, and miles of mountain trails are all a short distance away. Don’t discount the hunting potential in the area with Silverado Ranch as a perfect base camp. The property includes a 25-yard pistol shooting range, a 100-yard rifle range, and a 280-yard rifle range. The diverse landscape on the property and in the surrounding neighborhood is great habitat for elk, mule deer, and black bear. Silverado Ranch is located in the southeast portion of Game Management Unit (GMU) 131. This unit consists of mostly private land ownership with only about 16% being publicly accessible. However, adjacent Units 231 and 15 to the south and east offer a significant amount of public lands for hunting and other recreational opportunities. These Units have over-the-counter tags for elk during archery and two of the four rifle seasons. Mule deer is draw only.

IMPROVEMENTS
Silverado Ranch is perfectly improved for the discerning buyer. The property offers 1,728 +/- square feet of high quality finished living area. The barn, indoor riding arena, and large shop all compliment the look and utility of the property. Details on these improvements can be found below. The covered porch outside the living area provides great outdoor living space for entertaining.
