Storm King Ranch is a 435± deeded acre Western Colorado holding located about 20 minutes from Montrose and its regional airport. The ranch combines irrigated production, wildlife habitat, year-round access, and a residence built for long-term rural living. The main residence is a 3,967± square foot Lindal post-and-beam home built in 2008, with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an office, a bonus room, a loft, and a 3-car garage. The house includes a 17.8 kW solar array, 400-amp electrical service, geothermal heating and cooling, a built-in wood pellet-burning fireplace for backup heat, and a whole-house reverse osmosis water system supplied by a private well. The land sits at an elevation of roughly 7,300 to 8,000 feet and carries the kind of country that defines this part of Colorado: piñon, juniper, oak brush, sage, open parks, and broad views. A seasonal creek runs through the ranch, and the property includes multiple stock ponds along with 70± acres of irrigated ground currently used for grass and alfalfa hay production. The irrigation setup is substantial, with approximately 134 acre-feet of water through the Bostwick Park and Cimarron Canal systems, plus high-pressure underground irrigation installed in 2012, including big gun sprinklers and gated pipe. The ranch is also fenced and cross-fenced for rotational grazing. Storm King Ranch lies in GMU 65, where elk, mule deer, black bear, mountain lion, bobcat, turkey, and small game all use the ranch and surrounding country. Elk are frequent from archery through late rifle seasons, and the ranch is well suited for both archery and rifle hunting because of its mix of open ground and cover. Mule deer use is also strong, with both resident and migratory animals moving through the ranch, and the property is eligible for the Landowner Preference Program for mule deer. Over-the-counter elk tags are available for residents in archery and second and third rifle seasons. The ranch also benefits from a location that expands its usable footprint beyond the deeded acreage. It borders 160± acres of landlocked BLM and is surrounded by conservation easements and large private ranches, which helps preserve the open feel and support wildlife movement. Nearby public land, local trail systems, and the surrounding region provide access to horseback riding, hiking, hunting, skiing, fishing, and off-ranch exploration. Silver Jack Reservoir, the Gunnison River, and Blue Mesa Reservoir all add to the broader recreational appeal. Supporting improvements add to the ranch’s function. A 3,500± square foot enclosed rustic metal pole barn provides storage and agricultural support, and the property’s year-round access by county-maintained gravel road keeps it practical in a way that many larger mountain properties are not. For the buyer looking for a ranch that can be lived on, worked, and enjoyed without losing its connection to the larger landscape, Storm King Ranch stands on solid ground. It is a property with the kind of foundation that supports both immediate use and long term plans.
