Black Canyon Ranch
Montrose, COExceptional 1,204± acre irrigated, equestrian, and wildlife property situated on a scenic mesa adjacent to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, only 15 minutes from Montrose and its commercial airport.
The Double J Property represents a rare opportunity to acquire 127± contiguous acres in one of Northern Colorado's fastest-growing regions, strategically positioned along State Highway 14 between Fort Collins and Greeley. Located within the expanding Interstate 25 growth corridor, the property offers exceptional long-term investment potential driven by continued residential, commercial, and industrial expansion throughout Weld County. With dual paved road frontage, excellent visibility, readily available public utilities, and proximity to major employment centers, the property is well-positioned to benefit from future development as the surrounding area continues to evolve.
A defining feature of this offering is its exceptional water portfolio, an increasingly scarce and valuable asset in Colorado. The property is supported by three independent water sources, including two North Weld County Water District taps with 17 units of Colorado-Big Thompson water, adjudicated spring rights, and a City of Thornton irrigation agreement providing approximately 92 acre-feet of seasonal irrigation water. These diversified water resources significantly enhance the property's long-term value and provide flexibility for a wide range of future uses, making the property particularly attractive as regional growth continues.
While the property is currently improved as a fully operational commercial feedyard with more than 36,800 square feet of agricultural improvements, substantial feeding capacity, and a permitted CAFO operation, these existing facilities provide immediate operational or income-producing opportunities while preserving the property's long-term investment potential. Whether maintained as a productive agricultural enterprise, repositioned for agribusiness uses, or held as a strategic land investment in anticipation of future growth, Double J offers a unique combination of location, infrastructure, water security, and development potential that is increasingly difficult to find in Northern Colorado.
We would never have believed we would have finally overcome all the adversity and had such a wonderful conclusion.
I have not forgotten the “Dream Team”. I would like to thank you both for going above and beyond what I know any of us thought would happen. You pulled off a feat that, I know, put that whole community in a tailspin. Jackie and I are forever grateful to you for your support and trust,...
