Cattle ranch and hunting property, Villa Grove, CO
Beautiful large cattle ranch located on the north end of the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado
The Ridgely Ranch is a beautiful large cattle ranch located on the north end of the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado. Ringed by the San Juan mountains on one side and the Sangre de Cristo range on the other, the setting is stunning.
Water is key in the San Luis Valley, and this mountain cattle ranch has plenty of it. Ditch rights almost 38 cfs of surface rights, and there are four irrigation wells. San Luis Creek flows through 2.5 miles of the ranch, and fishing is good.
Villa Grove is high elevation country, and the mountains are immediately to either side of the ranch. The views are beautiful. You can imagine trappers and cowboys riding through this setting 150 years ago. Salida is only 25 miles away, however, and that’s the closest place for groceries, medical services, and other services. Alamosa is 50 miles south, where there’s a 4-year college, car dealerships, an airport, and all services. Year-round access to the ranch is provided by Highway 285.
Good elk and deer hunting is right there off the back side of the ranch, where it backs up to BLM for good access to public lands.
We often get calls from buyers looking for that ideal set of circumstances: the ranch has to be reasonably priced; in a beautiful setting; it must have plenty of irrigation water; enough land to stretch out and run a few cattle; back up to BLM or national forest so you can ride off the back of the ranch to go hunting—well, here you have it. Give this one a hard look and do it soon, because this one won’t last long.
Natural features: excellent views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
Water rights: Abundant water! There are 4 irrigation wells in addition to 37.95 cfs in surface water rights.
Elevation: 7,800 feet
Hunting: elk, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goat on nearby National Forest lands
Improvements: Two homes, steel shop, corrals, barn, new center pivot, fenced & cross-fenced, and good roads through the ranch.
utilities: Electric, propane, & telephone lines present.
