The North Fork Ranches consists of nine ranches lying between the heart of the North Fork River Valley and the Grand Mesa Plateau. Located only 90 miles from Aspens world-class ski slopes and 50 miles Montrose regional airport with flights to Boston, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Phoenix, New York, San Francisco, and Charlotte. North Fork 1030 ranch encompasses the draws, meadows, and ridges along the south face of the Grand Mesa, just 5 miles north of Paonia, Colorado, on Stephens Gulch Road. Adjoined by public land on the east side and the ranch has year-round county road access on the west. This exceptional ranch property is a superb wildlife paradise for moose, elk, mule deer, bear, mountain lion, turkeys, eagles, and numerous small animal and bird species, with over-the-counter elk tags available. Current revenue potential includes hunting, limited timber production, grazing, and summer/winter ecotourism. To improve the propertys suitability for livestock operations, miles of wildlife friendly new fence has been constructed since 2017. The ranch is 1/4 mile from year-round live water in Terror Creek on the BLM. Numerous springs, and spring-fed ponds have been improved, reworked, enhanced, cleaned, or newly created since 2017. The terrain of the ranch is as varied as the acreages, elevations run from 7,200' to 8,600' with vegetation mixes of sub-irrigated meadows, sage brush, Gamble Oaks, Pinion pine and Cedar trees at the lower end to lush stands of mature aspen, grassy meadows at higher elevations. To improve wildlife habitat, over many acres of low-lying brush has been cleared and reseeded into highland pasture. This improved habitat diversity has driven a vast expansion in game species populations both migratory and year-round herds. The ranch features incredible building sites and fantastic views of the West Elk, Ragged, and San Juan Mountain Ranges. The ranch also has power and a domestic water tap. The North Fork Ranches have all been refurbished, replanted, re-surveyed and fenced as part of a million-dollar vegetation mitigation/improvement project. Nothing has been left undone and these turnkey ranch properties are ready to be sold.
