960 Acres in Gunnison, CO - $4,725,000
Pleasant View Ranch
The Pleasant View Ranch is a balanced farm and ranch property located in the Tomichi Creek Valley only 23 miles east of Gunnison with 960 +/- deeded acres further benefitted by 9,893 +/- Forest Service and BLM lease acres. Tomichi Creek flows through the meadows on the south of the property and provides year-round live water and habitat for rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout. The ranch has adjudicated water rights for 300 +/- acres of irrigated meadow that has historically produced 400 tons of native grass hay annually. The ranch supports thriving populations of elk, mule deer, and Gunnison sage grouse in addition to mountain lions, coyotes, foxes, black bears, bobcats, ducks and geese. Pleasant View Ranch has historically qualified for deer licenses through the Landowner Preference Program and is located in GMU 551 where Over-the-Counter elk licenses are also available.
Highway 50 pr...
Highway 50 provides year-round access to the property and the existing ranch improvements are located on the south side of the highway. The ranch home has 3-bedrooms, 2-bathrooms, an office, spacious living room and primary bedroom suite. Other improvements include a barn, open-faced livestock and equipment sheds, corrals and a garage.
The heavily irrigated hay meadows south of Highway 50 are protected from future development by an agricultural conservation easement held by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, which allows hunting, fishing, farming and recreating. This portion of the property practically could not have been developed anyway due to the heavy irrigation of the meadows and floodplain along the creek. The easement allows the repair or replacement of the existing improvements and also allows the construction of an additional single-family residence and a guest bunkhouse/residence.
