Located 35 minutes from Telluride mountain village, this +/- 2239 acres of the Beaver Mesa Livestock & Cattle Ranch is so beautiful that it was selected by renown professional photographer John Fielder for some of its most photogenic views, ,...we think you'll agree.Being that the water out west is now held as the gold standard these days, there are 6 registered ponds, with the largest of them stocked with beautiful rainbow trout. Absolutely the best water rights out of the J&M Hughes Ditch (named after the grandfather) that irrigates 1000 +/- acres of Beaver Mesa Livestock & Cattle Ranch and is a huge value and ditch runs through the entire ranch, few ranches can compare and the water is everything, it's one of the few last large family holdings remaining so close to Telluride. It's a must see before it's gone. Priced tens of million dollars below comparable size ranches in the area, the Cattlemen's Association Conservation Easement which is a ( very different and unique and well thought through easement ) that allows for development, there are 3 separate building envelopes (each envelope is 5 acres, build what you like) this would be ideal for that Yellowstone dream home & value is already factored in. This conservation easement also has +/- 200 acres that is NOT enrolled with the easement and also has even more developmental potential or keep everything private. It is like living inside your own national park away from everyone but close to everything at Telluride. Even more unique, the easement also allows the property to be subdivided (must be a minimum of 500 acres) and sold off or built on. Tax credits still available on the +/- 200 acres and is part of a huge beautiful aspen grove and all their fall colors. The main reason for the easement was to PROTECT THE WATER RIGHTS and the wildlife for generations to come. A conservation easement that is done right will allow you to buy a much larger ranch and much better quality ranch than you otherwise could for far far less money. With the location of the ranch being surrounded by other large ranches and is just across a small dirt road to thousands of acres of National Forest for even more recreation, hunting and maintain g your privacy for generations. The other really amazing benefit to Beaver Mesa is it sits in the natural migratory path for the elk and deer each year. During May/June and then later in the year at the ranch you can see hundreds and hundreds of Elk and Deer migrating right through the ranch as they have for hundreds of years and stopping at one of the many ponds for drink and eating the new green grass of the year (they absolutely love it) and bedding in one of the many Aspen Groves. It's is something to see and you have not been lucky enough to witness the migration for these incredible animals. You will never forget seeing the migration it's so special to witness that many animals. This really is a legacy ranch that is disappearing and is getting harder and harder to find. I also believe one day these types of large ranches simply will be gone. Improvements include a comfortable & warm +/- 1200 sqft 3/2 ranch home that would make for a great guest or caretaker quarters with a spring fed well (best tasting water ever) with stunning views of the mountains and open meadows every room showcasing the Telluride mountains and the famous Lone Cone mountain. Or you could even live there while you build the ultimate dream mountain home with views that take everyone's breath away and are just jaw dropping. The current owner spend all their summers in the home. An easy road system allows access throughout the ranch, all 100% fenced and crossed fenced. There is also a very large corral for your livestock. There is also a 3000 foot airstrip in place, but not currently in use. BGU 70 offers todays sportsman with over-the-counter rifle elk tags, and close to 100% draw for archery elk tags. Beaver Mesa Livestock has been documented as an excellent producer of both trophy quality elk and mule deer. With +/- 20% of the ranch in gorgeous aspens, huge open pastures allowing for deer & elk bedding areas with abundant feed and water throughout, it's all about the water. The ranch does qualify landowner mule deer tags that have been unit wide allocation (always check regs), with monster bucks documented from the area. Blue grouse & turkey also call the ranch home. BML&C Ranch has traditionally carried +/- 400 pair, and keeps an incredibly low tax bill of +/- $3100 annually thanks to the easement and the ranch's AG status...The ranch has phenomenal hunting and is currently leased out to a great outfitter generating 50K +/- dollars of income from the incredible hunting and the cattle lease and easily could generate even more income. I find it to be such a nice positive when your land can bring in it's own money naturally. ` 1000 +/- acres is irrigated, with water being gold in Colorado. It's hard to stress how important the water is, you have the cattle lease for grazing and incredible hunting and is named after the owners grandfather. Some of the very best Sr. water rights you can have. The Huges ditch also runs through the ranch irrigating 1000+ acres making for easy grazing for cattle and the many elk and deer that the ranch holds. Cattle lease and hunting generate income. Be it the land investment retreat you always dreamed of- close to Telluride for world class skiing, dining & air access. There are several locations to build that Yellowstone Dream home/homes that would make for an unimaginable equestrian property, away from the hustle. Large watered & protected land holdings like Beaver Mesa Livestock & Cattle Ranch are becoming more and more scarce and this special ranch that is priced several TENS of million below other similar size ranch in the area is a rare find...call or email today for more info and your qualified private showing. Co brokers welcome... 25 min to Telluride and world class skiing and dinning.
