About this property

Perched over the breathtaking Uncompahgre Valley, and peering down on Ridgway Reservoir is the spectacular Burro Creek Ranch. From the ranch's 1,160-acre expanse, all Western Colorado's most prominent peaks unfold in an unobstructed corridor- from Sleeping Indian to the Willson's, and from Mount Sneffels to the Grand Mesa! Looking onto the ranch itself, one will find Burro Creek meandering through a lush cottonwood forest, flanked on either side by robust stands of pinion/juniper, ponderosa pine, Gabel oak, and spattering's of dark timber. This combination of dense evergreens and a forage-laden creek bottom forms an elk and deer oasis, promoting strong recreation opportunities. Elevation and topography are moderate, ranging from 7,080-8,302, and from level benches to rolling drainages. Beyond natural features, Burro Creek Ranch boarders Country Road 4, which provides county maintained, seasonal, access into the ranch, and direct conductivity to a phenomenal building site that straddles the Billy Creek and Burro Creek basins. From the home site, views are protected by expansive public land, extending over 5 miles to the north, 3 miles to the west, 2 miles to the south, and 1.7 miles to the east. Only one small section of the property boarders private land. Taken in combination with a minor conservation easement (140 acres), Burro Creek Ranch is highly protected, yet only 2.8 miles of Ridgway Reservoir/Pa-Co-Chu-Puk and 10.9 miles of downtown Ridgway. This is truly a beautiful, mid-elevation ranch with high-elevation views and a great location!
