Nestled on 265 acres of predominantly flat land that eases into gently rolling terrain, the Wet Meadow Unit presents an ideal setting for both ranching and development potential! Benefitting from over 1 mile of Highway 13 frontage and approximately half a mile of County Road 5, otherwise known as the "Piceance Creek Road," this ensures year-round accessibility. Ranches of such nature within this general area don't appear often, so don't miss out!
Land
Characterized by it’s moderate terrain and convenient location, the land features lush irrigated and sub-irrigated grasslands that are surrounded by sagebrush flats with pinyon-junipers sparsely scattered near the northern perimeter, resulting in excellent grazing ground! In addition, the property is perimeter fenced, further enhancing the opportunity for a successful ranching operation. With power infrastructure running throughout the ranch and extensive lengths of both Highway 13 and County Road 5 frontage, the potential for development is exceptional! As the winter arrives and wildlife migrate to the lower elevations, they may be frequently spotted residing on the ranch and nearby others until early spring.
Recreation
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the ranch’s adjacency to BLM offering ample recreational opportunities such as hunting, ATV/off-roading, and hiking amidst the natural beauty. The surrounding environment, known for its abundant wildlife including but not limited to elk, deer, turkey, grouse, and bears makes it a sought-after hunting area!
