Description
Sunset Ranch | Fruitland Mesa, Colorado Perched high on Fruitland Mesa in Delta County, Sunset Ranch is the kind of property that captures what makes Western Colorado special. Expansive views stretch across the surrounding valleys and mountains, with the Grand Mesa and West Elk Mountains creating an incredible backdrop. From the first light of morning to the glow of the setting sun across the peaks, the scenery here is something you get to experience every single day. Fruitland Mesa has long been recognized as a historical wildlife corridor, and Sunset Ranch is particularly attractive to wildlife. Mule deer have used this property for decades, including some impressive bucks that have made the mesa their home. Elk funnel out of the Red Canyon area and onto the mesa to take advantage of the forage, while spring and fall can bring turkeys by the dozens. Located in Colorado's Game Management Unit 63, the property offers an exceptional setting for the avid outdoorsman. Whether your passion is hunting, watching wildlife from the back deck, or simply having a place where deer, elk and turkey regularly pass through, Sunset Ranch offers an opportunity to live immersed in the wildlife of Western Colorado. The current owners have made significant investments in the property's water infrastructure, creating even more opportunity for the next owner. Multiple water taps, a private well and irrigation water have all been developed or acquired to make the property more useful and functional. Approximately 20 acres can be irrigated, providing the opportunity to produce pasture, grow hay or raise feed for livestock and wildlife. A garden, small livestock operation or additional agricultural use can be incorporated into the property depending on the buyer's plans. A small corral is already in place, with water and power nearby, making it easy to envision horses, livestock or other animals becoming part of the ranch. The east-facing deck provides a wonderful place to start the morning with coffee while watching the sunrise, while the changing light across the mountains creates spectacular evening views. Inside, large picture windows in the living room frame the surrounding mountains and bring the Western Colorado landscape into the home. The brick-and-mortar residence features quality finishes throughout, including granite countertops, hardwood cabinetry, tile and other thoughtful details. With five bedrooms and five bathrooms, there is room for family, guests and plenty of flexibility. A mini-split system was recently added upstairs, providing efficient cooling in the summer and supplemental heat during the colder months. Two brick fireplaces, one upstairs and one downstairs, add warmth and character and can help supplement the home's heating bill during winter. The home is also equipped with a boiler system providing comfortable in-floor heat throughout.
