A RANCH WITHIN REACH

More and more people express a desire to own a mountain property as a retreat from the daily grind of city life, with hopes of building a family legacy of experiencing outdoor adventures.

Yet, until recently, only the world’s “most affluent” could boast the ability to not only plunk down multi-millions to buy such a high quality ranch property but also invest the significant dollars needed to maintain it. With technology now enabling people to work from anywhere in the world and with people beginning to pursue less stressful and more mindful ways of life, many who dream of owning a mountain ranch are coming to the realization that you don’t have to own a Castle to live like a King.

Enter the availability and accessibility of the Ranch Community.

Ranch communities can now be found throughout the mountain west and can be had for a fraction of the cost of a stand-alone, single-owner property, with a reduced total cost of ownership due to shared responsibility for land maintenance, cultivation and improvement. In today’s world, with fewer and fewer large western parcels available, a large, quality ranch can exceed even the most affluent buyer’s budget.

With a growing desire to own a piece of the western lifestyle, ranch communities can deliver what few can afford: a home with a mountain stream as the front yard and a mountain range as the back yard.

Ranch communities could therefore be an option for people who want to spend less time, less money and less commitment on upkeep and more time enjoying the great outdoors with family and friends. There are many benefits of shared cost among ranch community owners, including preserving the surrounding ranch lands, maintaining healthy meadows, fisheries, wildlife habitat and also ensuring established access and governs caretaker needs. Owners can simply reap the benefits of ranch living (jump in the jeep, head to the ski hill, grab the fly rod and fish). As part of a ranch community, you can own more river, access more land, have more accessibility to modern-day conveniences, enjoying a less stressful lifestyle, living as part of a community on a premium piece of property without paying a premium.

M4 Ranch Group specializes in understanding ranch communities, offering premier ranches that range from $450,000 - $2,000,000, depending on quality, location and

acreage. The Lake Fork Hunting and Fish Club is a fine example of a premium western fishing and hunting ranch just minutes from mountain town amenities. For the more remote enthusiast, The Cebolla River Ranch Club provides pristine seclusion with over 6 miles of exceptional private water on a deeded 35-acre parcel. For those seeking yearround outdoor adventure, locating and buying a reasonably priced, high-quality recreational ranch near a Class-A ski town is just this side of impossible. With a large demand, and a very limited number of quality ranches, these regions see the lowest opportunity for a private owner to find success. If a quality ranch is available, the pricing would likely start in the 10’s of millions if not higher. Due to the popularity of these regions, we are now seeing more multi-seasonal ranch clubs becoming available. Two fine examples of well-designed and constructed sporting ranch clubs near a class-A ski area are the Wilder on the Taylor and the Reserve on the East River, both located near the famous Crested Butte.

If owning a premier western ranch is a personal goal, it is worth the time to pinpoint exactly what owning a ranch means to you and why. Identify the amenities that hold the highest value, the burdens and/or obstacles that represent the “deal-breakers.” Then simply focus on getting as many of your must-haves with the money you plan to invest.

A R anch Community

Cebolla Club is a legend among the Colorado fishing communities with limited building and unlimited streams. Some call this portion of the Cebolla River “The Oasis,” and it becomes obvious why when entering the fishing club from the high bluffs and timbered ridges. The brilliant green of the river bottom shimmers against the high canyon walls and sage covered hillsides. Cebolla Club offers one of the best fishing values in the trout fishing region. With over 6 miles of differing habitat, you can fish nymphs in fast, tight canyons or drag streamers in meandering ox bows. Native brown trout and rainbows fill the stream for your fly-fishing delight. The unique location of this “Oasis” is conveniently located 40 minutes from Lake City and Gunnison, Colorado.

The full family membership includes a riverfront deeded 35 acre buildable parcel, a common club house and a full time caretaker. Family Legacy is the best description of Cebolla River Ranches; many of the founding families still proudly call this their private getaway. Seldom do you find a fishing property that is so tranquil and has such dynamic recreation.

The lives and hearts of many people are dramatically affected because of the brave and selfless sacrifices of many American military men and women. We believe in the therapeutic value of outdoor experiences in the healing of wounded veterans.

Robb Gustafson sustained injuries resulting in a traumatic brain injury. After medically retiring from the Army, with the help of his wife, Jennifer, Robb went through extensive rehabilitation including physical and cognitive therapy. In 2010, Robb and Jennifer were invited by Bob and Cathy DuHadaway to attend a deer hunt in Texas. This outdoor experience proved to be the best therapy Robb received during his recovery. In realizing the therapeutic value of the outdoors, an idea sparked in Robb to create an outdoor foundation, which would help other families struggling with loss due to service to our country.

“Understanding” Buying Western Ranches

970-944-4444

M

any of us dream of owning a western ranch, fishing on our own trout streams or chasing elk across our own backyards. But in today’s world, most of those who are able to invest in ranch property have done so through hard work within a non-ranching industry. As with any lucrative investment, the ability to recognize the potential in any asset and also conceive and execute a plan for transforming that potential into a valuable investment is the key to success. Similar to standard-fare housing, “fixer-upper” ranches can provide significant opportunity as investment vehicles, and understanding a few key components of personal aspirations and ranchland valuation can help kick-start a rewarding, ranchland restoration journey.

Identify your goals and values:

Before beginning your search foar a ranch, clearly Ranch with Fisheries: If your ideal ranch property identify your motivation for wanting to purchase a ranch must have the potential to support a strong trout stream property. What does success mean to you, your family with a healthy trout population, focus your search on and your investment in becoming a ranch owner? properties that provide as many raw attributes as possible.

Set your priorities:

Is it finding a long-term, secure investment, building a family legacy or getting back to life’s more simple and tangible moments? For many people, owning a western ranch means privately and exclusively relaxing on a covered deck enjoying peak views or fly fishing for huge rainbow trout just off the back porch or hearing elk bugle in your own hay meadow. Or do your ranch ownership priorities lean toward productivity such as hay production, controlling senior water rights, producing an exceptional herd of cattle? Perhaps a ranch could serve as a business need for entertaining clients or as a recreational escape from the break-neck pace of the city?

Similar to considerations when purchasing a home or a business, note your wants and needs for location and amenities. Rather than considering the strength of a particular school district or criminal activity within a particular area, a ranch purchase requires consideration of surrounding land elevations, seasonal temperature ranges, property access issues, and access to air travel/ FBO’s, travel times for accessing shops, restaurants, medical care and community events. Would you prefer to own a ranch with high peaks or foothill terrain that overlooks rivers or streams? Establishing and noting this type of criteria will help you to pinpoint the geographic parts of the country that best fit your goals. Once you have a handle on your ranch goals, regional preferences and the surrounding property attributes that you value, you are ready to begin your search.

Know, or work with someone who knows, how to optimize ranchland fundamentals:

•Live Water: How much existing live water does the ranch control? Is the stream exclusively private or does it have public sections?

•Water Quality: What is the “bug life”? Does the stream have healthy water to support fish? Will it grow big fish?

•Instream Flows: How strong are stream flows during dry years? If you buy this ranch with fishing recreation as a priority, will that low flow support a strong healthy trout population during dry years?

•Late season Water Temperatures: Has the ranch historically seen high, late summer stream temperatures on dry years that could ultimately jeopardize your trout and your investment?

•Upstream Users: Understand your water; how many times has the water in your stream come on and off irrigated ground above your fishery. Investigate whether or not the area’s water rights are truly first-come/firstserve.

•Senior Water Rights: What is meant by “wet”? Many ranches have water rights on paper, but understanding the priority of the water right and timeframe-of-use relative to water right decrees determines your ability to maintain or build enhancements on historic ranches. What are your water rights, how can they be used and are they wet?

•Natural Terrain: One of the most important issues when considering a fishing ranch is whether or not the topography of the ranch could sustain a river enhancement project. Does the ranch have visible historic streams beds? Can more “Live” water be added by returning the live stream to historic stream beds that have been manipulated for pasture production?

Info@M4RanchGroup.com

970-944-4444

•Fall Rate: How much elevation does the stream drop from the start to finish? Does the drop allow you to move and manipulate that live water? Can you make it longer, slow it down, and build better habitat?

•Material Availability: Does the ranch itself as well or the nearby areas or adjoining regions have stone, trees, and raw materials that can be used for stream improvements? What does your trucking cost for materials look like?

Explore the issues and attributes of any ranch property you would like to purchase relative to your motivation and goals for ranch ownership. Partnering with a team of experts who can assess ranchland functionality and potential can save you money, time and sanity in the long run. If you invest in building and nourishing the habitat, the fishing population will grow!

Ranch with Hunting: If you define ranch quality by

its wildlife populations and the health of its big game herds, your list of considerations would focus on wildlife attributes such as these:

•Leverage Big Game Data: Each big game area of the west establishes game counts, game management and criteria for managing game.

• What are the post-season herd estimates?

• What is the ratio of bucks-to-does and bulls-to-cows?

• What is the area management goal of herd compositions?

• What are the historic hunter success rates?

• What are the post-season counts on mature bucks and bulls?

•Hunting Licenses: What are the overall tag numbers offered in that area: If you are a ranch owner who prioritizes hunting and have invested in cultivating healthy herds, you do not want ability to access plenty of tags but have nothing to hunt.

•Land Owner Licenses: What type of land owner preference does the state offer? Can the ranch apply for land owner licenses? Does the ranch give you the opportunity to hunt regularly in limited yet well

managed area?

•Understand your Neighbors: How big is your back yard? Who else can easily play in it? To what extent – public or private – does the ranch back into public lands? Do those public lands provide the ranch owner with access to additional quality grounds with limited public access?

•Topography: What type of topography can you hunt as you age? Does the ranch have, and can you secure, bedding grounds?

•Public pressure: Where does it come from and how difficult is the access?a

•Pasture mitigation: Does the terrain of the ranch enable dry land pasture enhancement? Do the natural and irrigated water and water rights lend themselves to pasture enhancements? If the ranch is the greenest thing in the area, animals will come!

•Migration Patterns: Does the ranch have historic migration patterns? What seasons do those migrations come through or onto the ranch? Is the property contributing winter habitat?

There are a multitude of ways a ranch owner can maximize a western ranch’s investment potential; the opportunities to enhance ranchland are limitless, depending on each ranch’s unique characteristics and your passions, interests and goals. Building both daily enjoyment and increasing property value comes in finding a ranch with good “bones”, located in an area that best suits your criteria. Much like building a thriving shopping center, remodeling a house, or investing in the right company, understanding your end goals relative to the ranch’s capabilities is critical to ensuring a positive ownership experience.

M4 Ranch Group can help you locate and better understand these and many more considerations in identifying, buying and then building a plan for transforming the right ranch into a gem of a nest egg!
