Description
Located in northwest Montrose County, is the exceptional, 1,160± acre, Ayer Ranch. This working cattle and recreation property features proximal fishing, sweeping views (vistas extend across Crawford Reservoir, Gould Reservoir, Iron Creek Canyon, Grand Mesa, the West Elks, Needle Rock, and Black Mesa), and a remarkable size for the price-point. At its heart, 1.5 miles of Iron Creek winds through the ranch, providing a reliable, year-round, water source that enhances both the landscape and its wildlife habitat. Rolling mesas dotted with pinyon/juniper, slopes of serviceberry, and deep riparian canyonlands create phenomenal cover, establishing the ranch as a sanctuary for elk and mule deer (GMU 63). This strong ecological foundation is supported by moderate elevations ranging from 6,960 to 7,960 feet, multiple stock ponds fed by deeded water rights, 1.7 miles of the Fruitland Mesa Ditch, and direct access to expansive BLM lands. Natural assets are protected by sensible conservation easements (allowing multiple building sites, continued agricultural/recreational use, and ongoing maintenance) ensuring a western lifestyle for generations to come, at a reasonable price point.
