About this land

A Livestock Ranch with Live Water and Recreation Buck Mesa Ranch has been operated historically as a cattle ranch, and the infrastructure reflects it. Approximately 215 acres of irrigated hay meadows mostly under sprinkler, and supported by water rights from Wallace Creek. Mountain Views in Every Direction Ranch elevations range from 5,700 to 6,600 feet, climbing from creek bottoms through rolling irrigated pastures into cedar, piñon, and oak. The topography offers level, sloped, and rolling ground - opening up multiple potential building sites with nearby power and commanding views toward: >The White River National Forest to the south >The Bookcliffs to the north >Wallace Creek and its cottonwood corridor >Open valley floor and surrounding mountain ranges The mix of irrigated meadow, mountain timber, and creek bottom creates the kind of visual variety that simply doesn't exist on most Western ranches at this price point. Trophy-Class Big Game in GMU 42 Buck Mesa Ranch sits within Game Management Unit 42, one of the more accessible big game units on the Western Slope. The unit qualifies for over-the-counter elk tags during 2nd and 3rd Rifle seasons and is eligible for landowner deer vouchers annually - a meaningful advantage for owners who want a reliable hunt without burning preference points. The current owners have harvested a handful of 200\" plus class bucks with several in the 190\" range. Elk lives on the ranch all year long and the bull quality trends around the 300\" range. Hunting opportunity on the property includes: >Elk - Heavy migration onto the ranch and through this corridor as October and November progress, with strong public-land overflow from adjoining BLM and White River National Forest >Mule deer - Resident and migratory populations, with annual landowner voucher eligibility >Black bear - Healthy populations across the surrounding piñon-juniper and oak country >Turkey - Phenomenal spring hunting along the creek bottoms and timbered draws For Buyers Who Value Optionality The true strength of Buck Mesa Ranch lies in its flexibility. A buyer can choose to: Continue operating it as a producing cattle and hay ranch Run it as a private family hunting and recreation property Build a primary or seasonal residence on one of multiple potential homesites Combine working agriculture with recreational and lifestyle use This kind of diverse, multi-use Western Slope ranch - with live water, irrigation, and OTC hunting - is increasingly rare in the Colorado market. A Long-Term Western Slope Asset Buck Mesa Ranch represents the increasingly scarce combination of working agriculture, live water, public-land access, and trophy hunting in a single, contiguous Colorado offering. Whether held as a legacy property, a working cattle operation, or a private recreation retreat, the ranch is positioned to deliver lasting value across every dimension that matters to a serious land buyer.

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.
