TBD Oak Mesa Road, Hotchkiss, Colorado 81419 (MLS# 795398)

The Hughes Hotchkiss Ranch is one of the most unique, private and scenic properties in the North Fork area. At an elevation of about 8,400 feet, the ranch starts just below the West Reservoir and is bisected by Jay Creek, which extends over two miles. Wildlife abounds on the ranch, including bears, elk, deer, mountain lions and numerous bird species. The West Elk mountains appear close enough to touch on clear days. The Seller has reserved substantial irrigation water that is available for a Buyer's discretional use on the property. BLM land joins the ranch on 3 sides and the ranch is almost equally divided between GMU's 52 and 521. The property would make incredible summer pasture for cow-calf pairs, with stock water available in Jay Creek for the length of the ranch. The property is protected for posterity by a Conservation Easement, assuring it will always be the scenic, private property it is at this point in time.
