15222 3050th Rd, Hotchkiss, CO 81419

Perched on a commanding bench of Redlands Mesa, this exceptional 40 +/-acre ranch delivers an experience that is rare even by Western Colorado standards - an executive residence, irrigated ground, big game habitat and some of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the North Fork Valley. When the scenery alone isn't enough, some of Colorado's most celebrated outdoor recreation, agriculture, wine and art culture sit right at your doorstep. 40 +/- acres of diverse terrain give this ranch its personality. Roughly half the property is groomed and cultivated - including 10 acres of irrigated ground supported by valuable water shares - while the other half transitions into rugged, timbered terrain punctuated by dramatic rock outcroppings bordering BLM. This natural contrast not only defines the aesthetic of the landscape but creates ideal habitat that supports a resident population of trophy mule deer bucks and turkeys. The ranch holds wildlife as well as it holds water. The executive residence features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with the space and finish quality you'd expect at this elevation of living- tray and coffered ceilings, granite countertops, open floor plan and a split bedroom design. An oversized 3-car garage - complete with utility sink, wood stove and its own bathroom - provides serious utility for equipment, vehicles, or a workshop. Beyond the main residence, the property is well-equipped with a shop, chicken coop, and multiple storage sheds. The home is designed to take full advantage of its surroundings, placing you squarely in the center of 360-degree views that sweep across the Grand Mesa, the San Juan Mountains, the West Elk Wilderness, and the dramatic Gunnison Uplift. Opportunity: The partially finished basement represents one of the most compelling value propositions on the property. Expansive open spaces are ready to be shaped to a buyer's vision - whether that means a game room for entertaining, a private work studio or home office, an additional bedroom suite, or some combination of all three. For the equity-minded buyer, this is a genuine build-to-suit opportunity: the square footage is there and the finishing touches are yours to define. Few properties at this price point offer this kind of immediate upside built right into the foundation. Whether your vision is agricultural production, a hunting/ horse ranch, or a self-sufficient retreat, this ranch is the entire package! The North Fork Valley and the surrounding Western Slope are not simply a backdrop - they are a destination. The Gunnison River's Gold Medal waters flow within easy reach, offering world-class trout fishing that draws anglers from across the country to some of the most productive and scenic tailwaters in the American West. Atop the Grand Mesa - visible from your own property - more than 300 lakes await hikers, hunters, skiers, horseback riders, and backcountry anglers looking to adventure for a day or a week. Closer to home, the North Fork Valley has earned its reputation as Colorado's most concentrated hub of organic agriculture, with the largest gathering of certified organic farms and orchards in the state. Alongside the farms, more than a dozen world-class wineries have taken root in the valley, producing award-winning wines from fruit grown in some of the highest-altitude vineyards on earth. Farm stands, harvest festivals, and sunlit wine dinners are woven into the rhythm of life here in a way that simply doesn't exist elsewhere in the Rockies. Properties that combine this level of executive comfort with genuine agricultural infrastructure, proven wildlife, water rights, and unobstructed mountain views in every direction do not come to market often. Add to that a surrounding region rich in arts, Gold Medal fishing, mesa-top lakes, organic farm culture, and celebrated wine country - all accessible from a major regional airport - and what emerges is not just a ranch, but a complete and extraordinary way of life. This Redlands Mesa property is a singular opportunity in Colorado's storied North Fork Valley. Hotchkiss and Paonia are just 15 and 25 minutes away, offering a charming downtowns with local shops, restaurants, art galleries, libraries, parks, recreation center, bike trails, and clinics. Delta, a 30-minute drive, provides additional conveniences including a hospital, Walmart, Tractor Supply, and more dining and shopping options. For longer travel, Montrose Regional Airport is within 45 minutes, with multiple major carriers and direct flights to key hub cities-making the ranch easily accessible while preserving its peaceful, remote feel.
