Description
Crooked Spade Ranch is a distinctive 91-acre Colorado ranch offering an exceptional combination of productive agricultural land, abundant water, recreational access, and comfortable mountain living just outside Mancos and approximately 30 minutes from downtown Durango. Surrounded on three sides by National Forest lands, the ranch enjoys remarkable privacy, sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains, and direct access to the National Forest for horseback riding and recreation. The property unfolds across lush irrigated hay meadows, rolling pastures, healthy forest, ponds, and rich riparian habitat. Excellent water rights support productive hay ground, while extensive fencing, livestock facilities, hay and equipment storage, and agricultural improvements provide the infrastructure of a genuine working ranch. The diverse landscape creates exceptional wildlife habitat, with elk, deer, wild turkey, and other native species regularly moving through the property. At the heart of the ranch, a custom single-level residence built in 2018 is beautifully positioned overlooking the pastures, ponds, wooded hillsides, and mountains beyond. The 2,566-square-foot home offers three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a private office, sunroom, and an impressive 1,290-square-foot garage providing exceptional space for vehicles, ranch equipment, recreational gear, and storage. Its open design reflects a warm Western aesthetic with vaulted ceilings, exposed timber accents, extensive wood trim and cabinetry, stone detailing, and a wood-burning stove. The low-maintenance stucco and stacked-stone exterior complements the natural setting, while generous windows frame the surrounding landscape. The kitchen opens naturally to the living and dining areas and features abundant wood cabinetry, stone countertops, and an expansive peninsula with seating. The spacious primary suite is oriented toward the mountain views and features its own wood-burning stove with stone surround, direct patio access, walk-in closet, and a well-appointed bath with soaking tub and tiled shower. Outdoor living is a defining feature of the residence, with approximately 1,668 square feet of covered patio and outdoor entertaining areas extending the home into its remarkable setting. Generous spaces for dining, gathering, and relaxing overlook the ranch and dramatic La Plata Mountain views. A wood-fired pizza oven complements the covered entertaining area, while a separate stone outdoor fireplace and expansive paver patio create another inviting gathering place beneath the Colorado sky. Crooked Spade Ranch is protected by a conservation easement held by Montezuma Land Conservancy, preserving its agricultural and open-space character for generations to come. Importantly, the easement includes an additional residential building envelope for a future residence and allows for additional agricultural buildings, providing meaningful flexibility for the ranch's continued use and stewardship. With 91 acres, excellent water rights, productive hay meadows, ponds, established ranch infrastructure, abundant wildlife, mountain views, and National Forest bordering three sides, Crooked Spade Ranch represents an increasingly rare opportunity in Southwest Colorado. Equally suited as a working ranch, full-time residence, recreational retreat, or multigenerational legacy holding, this is a property defined by the enduring qualities of the West-water, land, privacy, wildlife, and an authentic connection to the surrounding landscape.
