Encompassing 1,204+/- deeded acres, Black Canyon Ranch is distinguished by its plentiful irrigation water and beautiful setting, combining lush meadows and mountain vistas. It is an outstanding equestrian property, offering an attractive blend of scenery, production, wildlife, and custom improvements. With an exceptional location next to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, the ranch overlooks the picturesque meadows of Bostwick Park, with a dramatic backdrop of the San Juan Mountains. The ranch boundaries span the width of the irrigated Bostwick Park mesa, encompassing treed hills that reach into adjacent BLM lands on either side. Abundant water rights irrigate the majority of the ranch lands through a combination of pivots, buried lines with sprinkler guns, gated pipe, and flood irrigation. The productive irrigated meadows are a magnet for wildlife, drawing elk and deer from the surrounding foothills in the evenings. A full complement of functional improvements rounds out the ranch, including an owner’s residence, equestrian facilities, and supporting infrastructure. Black Canyon Ranch features a sunny southwest Colorado location that is secluded yet accessible, only 15 minutes from Montrose and within 90 minutes of two top Colorado ski resorts.
