10124 County Road 204, De Beque, CO 81630

Scenic 244 +/- acre ranch set on the valley floor, overlooked by Kimball Mountain and Mount Blaine, where towering, striated peaks rise above irrigated meadows and the winding corridor of Roan Creek. With over half a mile of paved, year-round maintained County Road 204 frontage, the property offers a blend of agricultural operations, live water, and direct access to public lands, well suited for livestock, recreation, or comfortable rural living. The Knirlberger 244 spans approximately 244 acres, with roughly 86 acres under flood irrigation supported by Roan Creek, which runs year-round through the property. The irrigated fields stretch across the valley floor, creating productive hay ground and pasture framed by mature cottonwoods and lush riparian vegetation along the creek corridor. These fertile bottoms not only enhance the ranch's agricultural usability, but also attract and sustain wildlife. Beyond the irrigated acreage, the terrain transitions into rolling sagebrush hills and pockets of piñon-juniper and native shrubs, adding both diversity and character to the landscape. The setting is anchored by the towering presence of Kimball Mountain to the south, and Mount Blaine to the north, whose steep, striated slopes rise dramatically above the ranch, creating a striking backdrop in every direction. From open meadows to brush-covered benches, the ranch offers a blend of usable ground and natural habitat. The property also borders BLM land, expanding recreational access directly from the ranch. Located in GMU 31, the area is known for strong wildlife presence, including deer, elk, turkeys, and grouse that frequent the ranch and surrounding public lands. Over-the-counter bull elk tags for the 2nd and 3rd seasons further enhance its appeal for hunters seeking both convenience and opportunity. The ranch's improvements are centrally located and support peaceful rural living. The main residence offers 1,567 square feet of living space with 2 bedrooms and 1.75 bathrooms, providing a practical and comfortable home base with views of the surrounding meadows and mountains. In addition to the primary home, the property includes a bunk house with an attached garage that can accommodate guests, family, ranch hands, or a care taker. The Knirlberger 244 is located approximately 20 minutes southeast of De Beque, offering access to basic services while preserving a quiet, rural setting. For expanded amenities, Grand Junction, Rifle, and Glenwood Springs are all within comfortable driving distance. Grand Junction, just under an hour away, sits among striking red rock canyons, mesas, and the Colorado River. Known for its agricultural roots and outdoor recreation, the city offers a wide range of businesses, restaurants, shopping centers, and commercial air service through the Grand Junction Regional Airport. Rifle, approximately 45 minutes east, provides grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, a hospital, and other daily conveniences. Glenwood Springs, about an hour from the ranch, combines essential services with popular attractions such as Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park and the renowned Glenwood Hot Springs. Whether drawn to its ranching potential, recreational advantages, or its scenic residential setting beneath Kimball Mountain and Mount Blaine, this property offers a compelling opportunity.
