Temple’s Yampa River Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own ±133 acres with over 1/2 mile of live water on the Yampa River in the heart of Northwest Colorado. With ownership to the centerline of the river and practical access to both sides of the river corridor, this coveted property delivers an exceptional combination of live-water fishing, productive agriculture, wildlife habitat, and year-round accessibility.
The ranch features 34 acres of fertile irrigated river-bottom hay ground, all served by senior water rights totaling 2.88 cfs with priority dates from 1883–1888, plus an additional 1.0 cfs right with a 1981 priority date. The acreage south of County Road 65 is fenced and cross-fenced for pasture grazing, making it well-suited for horses, cattle, and general ranch use.
Improvements include a 3-bedroom, 3-bath log home with vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, large windows, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and an elevated deck overlooking the meadow, river corridor, and surrounding valley. Additional improvements include a 70'x40' insulated metal shop with concrete floors, oil heat, and 240V service, a 45'x60' hay/loafing shed, a 35'x25' covered loafing shed, a 25'x60' horse barn with 3 covered stalls and tack/feed room, and a chicken coop. A titled manufactured home is also present and may offer future utility potential.
Rainbow trout, brown trout, ducks, geese, deer, and elk all utilize the property. Located just 3 miles from Hayden with year-round access off CR 65, the ranch is also within easy reach of Steamboat Springs, Yampa Valley Regional Airport, skiing, dining, and millions of acres of public land.
