Youngs Creek Ranchette

Tucked away just northwest of Cedaredge, Colorado, Youngs Creek Ranchette offers a scenic 26.15-acre retreat with a perfect blend of irrigated hay ground, creek frontage, and quiet country living. This small acreage ranch is ideally suited for those looking to embrace a rural lifestyle with space for livestock, agriculture, and comfortable living.

The ranch features approximately 20 acres of irrigated pasture or hay ground, nourished by Surface Creek and Rockland Reservoir water rights. Gated pipe irrigation delivers water efficiently across the fields. Youngs Creek flows through the northwest corner of the property, while the Childs Ditch crosses the center, enhancing both beauty and productivity.

The 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is warm and inviting, with a covered front porch perfect for enjoying peaceful sunrises, and a back deck to take in stunning sunsets over the Grand Mesa. There is also a hot tub to wind down in and relax. Downstairs has a nonconforming bedroom, and access to a full basement, once used as a fruit-packing cooler, that offers excellent storage or potential workshop space. A connecting door leads to the attached shop/garage, built with high rafters and oversized access for large machinery or even a semi-truck.

Additional improvements include: A weathered but functional barn for livestock shelter, a tack shed with a non-functioning living space, a storage shed for ATVs, mowers, or tools, a metal-frame lean-to for horses or small livestock, equipment lean-to for additional storage

The property is shaded by mature pine and cottonwood trees, creating a peaceful and private setting. Deer and elk frequently pass through, despite the high-fence perimeter. Access is via a shared driveway, offering privacy and seclusion without isolation.

In addition to a domestic water tap, the property includes a productive well that can support up to two additional homes, giving flexibility for expansion, guest housing, or further development. Currently, the well is being used to water the lawn and around the house. The lawn has a sprinkler system with zones.

Whether you're looking for a hobby farm, an equestrian property, or simply a quiet Western Colorado homestead, Youngs Creek Ranchette offers water, infrastructure, and natural beauty in a location that's hard to beat.
