Cottonwood Ranch
Craig, CO1,561± deeded acres of vacant land in the Yampa Valley, located 15± miles north of Hayden. The land offers a seasonal creek, numerous dirt tanks, wildlife habitat, and undulating topography.
The Rockin D Ranch, consisting of 11,252± deeded acres and 960± acres of Colorado State lease land, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large acreage, well-blocked operating ranch, within 60 miles of downtown Denver and a 45± minute drive to Centennial Airport near the Denver Tech Center area. The headquarters lie just 14 miles south of Byers and Interstate 70 and can be accessed by three county-maintained roads. The ranch is fenced into nine strategically designed pastures. It is exceptionally well-watered with 14 wells, numerous dirt tanks, seasonal ponds, and approximately three miles of a tributary to West Bijou Creek and Rattlesnake Creek bottom. The seller is reserving the legally decreed subsurface water rights. The terrain is incredibly diverse for an eastern Colorado ranch, featuring gentle, undulating topography with small-scale protective elevation changes, terraced hillsides, timbered foothills, open grasslands, and numerous rolling hills and drainages, all of which provide ample shielding from adverse weather conditions for livestock and wildlife, as well as a beautifully scenic and diverse aesthetic.
The buildings, roads, fences, corrals, water tanks, wells, drinkers, and ponds have been meticulously maintained to the highest quality. Anchoring the improvements is a remodeled primary residence. Other ranch improvements include functional, well-maintained agricultural buildings, including a horse barn, cattle barn, equipment shop, storage shop, Quonset, secondary equipment shop, grain storage, and a newer modular home for a ranch manager’s residence. Distant, yet unexpected views of the Rocky Mountain peaks of the Front Range dominate the skyline from most places on the ranch. Wildlife is abundant, including deer, antelope, and a variety of smaller game.
Rockin D Ranch is a high-grade investment-quality operational ranch offering a multi-dimensional exit strategy and long-term appreciation, located in close proximity to Colorado’s ever-expanding Front Range. The long-term potential of this ranch investment cannot be overemphasized or understated.
