Montezuma County - 25515 X Road, Dolores, CO
Imagine +/-400 deeded acres currently registered with Colorado Parks and Wildlife as two different entities, each entity large enough to receive a landowner mule deer buck application annually With over-the-counter bull elk tags, this off-grid sportsman's paradise shares over a mile of border with the San Juan National Forest (1.8 million acres) and has produced trophy class mule deer and elk annually for decades.
Land
Approximately 140 acres of the 400 are have been in production some time in the past, with it currently planted in native grasses. It's easy to see from 100 to 300 deer on the property most all year, with fall and winter migrations increasing these populations tremendously. Plenty of elk are there as well, especially duringthe hunting season, with the current owners filling a couple bull tags almost every year.
While not enrolled in any type of conservation easement program, due to the proximity to so much federal and state land, the ranch could be an ideal candidate. It would also lend itself to future subdivision or development.
Recreation
Montezuma County/Dolores area is most noted for producing some of the largest mule deer bucks in the record book, including the all time Burris Buck, #1 typical, taken not far from this property. Years of personal, hands-on experience has allowed the owners to strategically place 6 tower blinds (included) between the bedding and feeding areas. And, while sitting in one of the tower blinds, you can experience 360-degree San Juan Mountain views overlooking the McPhee State Reservoir. There's an extensive trail system throughout and even a 12 x 20 day camp cabin on the property.
Region & Climate
Overlooking McPhee State Reservoir, Colorado's second largest lake, the entrance is just 1/4 mile away from the front gate, with only state or federal land between you and the lake. With over 50 miles of shoreline, the lake provides for additional year-round recreation, including tons of waterfowl and offering incredible kayaking, pontoon boating, water skiing and boat rentals. (Check seasons.) However, fishing is what McPhee Reservoir is most noted for, including its amazing smallmouth bass, Kokanee (land locked salmon), trout, walleye and catfish. There are miles of beaches that are accessible by boat or vehicle. The headwaters of the Dolores River originate but a quarter mile from the property, offering the fly fisherman miles of gold medal water, along with kayaking and rafting.
History

The owner is offering financing at O% for the first TWO years and incredible terms after that. That is incredible.
Land
Ranchers, Farmers, Hunters, Equestrians, or those who just want to be left alone and don't want to ever rely on the grid.
Welcome to Roscoe's Ranch, this beautiful brand new 100% off grid 2,600 sqft ranch style home with a 1200 sqft shop (3800 total) on 204+/- acres is now completed after years of a meticulous detailed build out and just as solid as they come to last a lifetime. This custom ranch home is a 3 bd 2.5 bath plus an office located in the rich red soil of Yellow Jacket, CO. With some of the best dry land farming in all of CO, this ranch is ready for livestock or growing your favorite crops. It's ready for you to create whatever you like it's an open canvas. One of the things I loved personally most about this property is it sits in the natural migratory path for the elk and deer. That picture I have posted was the largest herd of Elk I have seen with 500 +/- Elk crossing the ranch at one time. It is just a beautiful experience that the owner gets to see twice a year to see on the ranch, absolutely incredible !! The ranch has many upgrades with cotton wood trees that have been planted in the front of the home and several other plants.
Improvements
The custom home features 24 solar panels with 6000 watts of power with a 12,000 watt inverter leading into a 1050 amp power battery bank, also with a full solar well and a 1000 gallon water tank with automatic water troughs for all your livestock needs. If that's not enough, the home also has a military grade 10,000 watt backup diesel generator featuring a 500 gallon diesel tank to make for an easy and fast fill of your generator. So when the city, the town, or the state loses power and they will, your lights will always be on and your house will stay warm in any situation. It does not matter what is happening with the outside world, your family will have no worries. For your heat, the home has 2 propane gas stoves with a 500 gallon propane tank and also has 2 pellet burning stoves so your family stays nice and warm and no worries of EVER of losing power. That really is a nice comfort that I think we all should have.
The home was just completed this May. Inside you will find a large open floor plan with bright natural lighting, custom acid stained low maintenance concrete floors for easy clean up and a great mudroom. The interior walls of the home are covered in gorgeous light Aspen wood and the kitchen cabinets are hard oak. The kitchen counter tops are custom made from a hickory and cherry wood mix with a bar top finish built to last and built to stay looking new year after year. The master bedroom is large and has a barn door slider leading into the bath with a walk-in closet and a fully tiled walk in rain shower. You will not run out of hot water as there is a tankless on demand water heater, take as long and as hot of showers as you like and don't worry about the electric or water bill, as there is NOT one! The cost to run this entire ranch is less than $300 a year !!! Add up what you are paying for all of your utilities per year, plus add your water and then you have that cost forever. Imagine having ZERO utilities bills, zero water bill, FOREVER and that is a huge savings!! The other 2 bedrooms both have large armoires' that are used as closets and will stay with the house. In addition, attached to the house is a 1200 sqft 30 x 40 shop/garage with 220 volts for powering all your tools, and has a lot of light. The porch wraps around the front and side of the home providing plenty of shade, with views of the Ute Mountains, and is made of concrete with steel beams that will outlast all of us. Built as solid as they come and will last and last.
When sitting on your porch the current owner has a really nice shooting range set up and is just so much fun for you and the family. Just shoot off your own porch while sitting in your favorite chair. Just put is is a custom round pen and insulated tack room.

All +/-204 acres are 100% fully fenced and cross fenced into 4 pastures with 200k spent just on fencing and that is not an easy job, so check that box off and the fence is a tight as you can get.
