ROBERTS BUCK CREEK RANCH
This nearly 400-acre ranch was carefully assembled from multiple ranch parcels by the current ownership and features plentiful senior water rights from Buck Creek, well-irrigated pastures on about half the acreage and a two-story log ranch house plus caretaker cabin, large barn, new shop and multiple outbuildings. The views from the main ranch house are spectacular taking in the extensive mile of creek frontage, two large ponds and Mount Gunnison to the South. There are many locations on the upper part of the ranch for additional homesites with stunning views of the Ragged Mountains, Mt. Gunnison, Electric Mtn and Huntsman Ridge.
The upper headgate on Buck Creek controlled by the ranch is a beautiful place in the dark timber and supplies much of the water to the very valuable underground irrigation system with 19 portable big guns complemented where needed by gated pipe. Buck Creek is an excellent source of senior water rights that provides for a long irrigation season with abundant water that lasts into the fall.
Another important feature is almost a mile of National Forest boundary on the East side of the ranch. This gives the owner private access to great hiking and/ or hunting on the public land, not to mention that the hunting on the ranch itself is exceptional. The yearround paved access on State Highway 133 places the ranch centrally located under 30 minutes from Paonia and 45 minutes from Carbondale.
The Roberts Buck Creek Ranch represents a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the very best Western Colorado ranches of this size.
