Description

Estate Owned Property--Seller to review all reasonable offers! Experience the untamed beauty of Western Colorado on this remarkable 188-acre legacy property, ideally positioned just northwest of Montrose, near Olathe and Delta. Bordering expansive Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands that stretch all the way to the Utah line, this rare offering delivers direct access to thousands of acres of public land—perfect for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, hunting, and endless exploration right out your back door. Set among striking red rock landscapes and rich high-desert terrain, this property is steeped in Native American history and paleontological significance, offering a truly one-of-a-kind setting where the past and present meet. From ancient landforms to cultural traces, this is more than land—it’s a connection to the history of the American West. The property includes four legal parcels, providing flexibility for future development, investment, or multi-generational living. The primary parcel features a well-maintained 2,600 sq ft ranch-style home designed for comfort and functionality. Inside, you’ll find a spacious, open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area—ideal for entertaining or quiet country living. Two large bedrooms each offer their own custom bathrooms, creating a private and inviting retreat. Recent upgrades include fresh interior paint, new laminate flooring, newer windows, roof, and air conditioning. Step outside onto the expansive deck and take in sweeping western views across your land and into the vast BLM acreage beyond. Additional improvements include a carport, storage shed, a charming log cabin, and two historic structures that add character and authenticity to the property. For those seeking a working property, the land offers excellent agricultural and grazing potential, supported by 10 shares of irrigation water. Ideal for horses, cattle, or specialty crops such as hops or orchards, the property benefits from low agricultural taxes and favorable growing conditions. A large metal shop with a high overhead door and concrete floor provides ample space for equipment, vehicles, and recreational gear. Whether you're looking for a Colorado ranch, a BLM-adjacent recreational property, or a private retreat with development potential, this property delivers unmatched opportunity. Wide-open spaces, rich history, and direct access to public lands!
