The Ranch consists of 70 beautiful acres that directly border the Colorado River offering almost ¼ mile of private premier river frontage. The property can better be described simply as somewhat of an oasis. Once you enter through the private iron gated entrance you meander up a curved gravel drive that is lined with old large Cottonwood trees, and then you feast your eyes upon luscious green fields, manicured landscaping, a large pond with waterfalls, and a fountain spraying water that just creates a relaxing atmosphere. Here you’ll see the luxurious main house that sits directly on the ponds Northern edge with a deck that extends out allowing you to fish right from your easy chair. Due to the ambiance and remarkable beauty of the property, many weddings, special events, and professional photoshoots are held on the property. If you didn’t know it existed you would never know it was here. The property has natural wetlands that are fed by the Colorado River, some hidden springs, and a creek that runs through the property. The property has water rights from a reservoir that has been undeveloped to date. This is a beautiful area, especially during the summer months while providing a habitat for beaver, fish, ducks, and other wildlife as well.
The North Border of the property is bordered by the Battlement Mesa Walking Trail, an improved walking path that was developed in 2012 which connects with the local golf course walking trail and serves as a connection point for several other walking trails all across the community. The Western boundary is the 18-hole golf course which creates a stunning backdrop in the early morning sunrises.
There is something to be said about the spectacular Western Colorado sunsets, they are glorious and The Ranch provides optimum viewing pleasure from the main house and the upper-level buildings. Which is why a fire pit area was constructed on top of the hill in front of the main office building, so that you can sit out there in the evenings and soak it all up.
The orchards on the hill are full of crabapple trees that provide beautiful spring foliage along with picturesque manicured gardens with a unique handcrafted wooden forest trail that leads in and out of dry creek beds all along the pond and waterfall area. This creates a tropical paradise that allows you to simply escape into its surroundings as you listen to the waterfalls and smell the flowers.
There are several buildings on the property that can be used or converted to practically any use. These are high quality built and offer a total of more than 46,000 square feet of space. The property was originally used as an elaborate and high-end horse training facility for “American’s Most Trusted Horseman”, John Lyons so you’ll find a covered outdoor arena, a building that was an indoor riding arena which has now been converted to an indoor grow building for hemp, but again this can be easily converted to any use and back to an indoor riding arena. Additionally, there is a 12’x64’ four-stall horse barn, a 6,250 Sq. Ft. two-story office building, 6,750 Sq. Ft. metal shop with six 16’ overhead doors, a 4,000 Sq. Ft. Shop with mezzanine storage areas on each side, and a 2,583 q. Ft. building that was previously used as a horse barn and has now been converted for mixed-use.
The Main Office Building is in excellent condition with many nice upgrades including a large and inviting reception front office area which leads into another large sitting/waiting room area. From there you can enter the visiting/viewing area of the FDA food-grade kitchen, the kitchen itself along with an employee breakroom area and clean shipping room facility. There are four additional large lower-level offices, two storage rooms, and a full restroom with shower. The upper level offers a large open meeting/training center at the top of the stairs which has been used as a classroom for training in the past and large meetings. There are four large offices on this level along with two storage rooms and a full restroom with shower. The office is equipped with high-speed internet services and phone lines throughout.
The main grow building which was previously an indoor riding arena is heated with a concrete floor and had 460 high end, cost efficient grow lights installed in 2018. It has large bay doors at either end of the building which accommodates large equipment and deliveries.
The outdoor arena building is not completely closed in, but could be very easily. It has a dirt floor currently and provides a substantial covered storage area.
The other buildings provide ample amount of space and storage and can be converted for use to really any purpose.
The entire property has three-phase electric available throughout which was recently upgraded in 2018.
