About this land

Horsefly Mountain Ranch is an exceptional western Colorado sporting and lifestyle property spanning 634 acres. Combining privacy, flexibility, abundant wildlife, diverse habitat, and breathtaking mountain scenery, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the region's premier recreational ranches. The ranch offers outstanding hunting for Rocky Mountain elk, trophy mule deer, black bear, and Merriam's turkey across a diverse landscape of quaking aspens, towering ponderosa pines, spruce forests, and oak brush. Expansive views stretch across the San Juan Mountains and Sneffels Range, creating an unforgettable backdrop in every season. An improved gravel road system provides convenient access throughout the ranch, with electrical power available at either end of the main drive, making future development straightforward. Numerous private building sites allow buyers to create anything from a custom luxury mountain estate to an elegant barndominium while preserving panoramic views and seclusion. Recreation extends well beyond the property boundaries. Cornerstone Golf Club, featuring the renowned Greg Norman-designed championship golf course, borders the ranch to the south, while Elk Mountain Resort lies immediately to the north, offering fine dining. The ranch location offers fly-in convenience and an outstanding year-round mountain lifestyle. Bordering nearly 1,000,000 acres of the Uncompahgre National Forest, the ranch provides direct access to an endless network of roads and trails ideal for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, ATV and UTV exploration, camping, and backcountry adventures. Anglers will appreciate being within easy reach of some of Colorado's finest fisheries, including the Gold Medal waters of the Gunnison River and Blue Mesa Reservoir, famous for trophy lake trout, kokanee salmon, and excellent trout fishing. Winter recreation is equally impressive, with three major ski resorts located within close proximity, allowing owners to enjoy world-class skiing, snowboarding, and mountain recreation while returning home to the peace and privacy of their own ranch. Horsefly Mountain Ranch is also ideally situated for exploring many of the American West's most iconic destinations. Nearby attractions include Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Mesa Verde National Park, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Great Sand Dunes National Park. Within a comfortable drive, owners can also experience Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and Hoover Dam, making unforgettable weekend adventures easily accessible. Travel is convenient with Montrose Regional Airport located approximately 20 miles from the ranch, while the world-renowned mountain town of Telluride, known for exceptional skiing, festivals, shopping, fine dining, and year-round recreation, a short drive away. Whether you're searching for a premier hunting ranch, a private mountain retreat, a legacy family property, or an exceptional place to build your dream home, Horsefly Mountain Ranch offers an extraordinary combination of wildlife, water, scenery, recreation, and accessibility that is increasingly difficult to find in today's Western land market.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

    1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
    2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
    3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
    4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
    5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
    6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
    7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
    8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
    9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
