Property Description

Longview Ranch sits where the pavement ends and the West begins — a commanding 40-acre executive ranch perched on a bench of Redlands Mesa with 360-degree views of the Grand Mesa, San Juan Mountains, West Elk Wilderness, and Gunnison Uplift. The 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home is built for the setting, placing you at the center of some of the most dramatic scenery in western Colorado. An oversized 3-car garage with its own bathroom adds serious utility, and a partially finished basement — ready to be turned into a game room, work studio, or additional bedrooms — offers genuine build-to-suit equity opportunity ready for a buyer's vision. The land is as diverse as the views and borders BLM with quick access to hundreds of thousands of acres of National Forest. Ten acres of irrigated ground with water shares anchor the productive half of the ranch, while the other half gives way to rugged timber, rock outcroppings, and natural terrain that holds a resident population of trophy mule deer bucks and turkeys. A shop, multiple storage sheds, and a chicken coop round out the infrastructure. A conservation easement helps ensure that the property's outstanding wildlife habitat and natural beauty will be preserved for future generations. The existing home and outbuildings are situated within a thoughtfully designated 2-acre building envelope, allowing for the continued enjoyment and use of the improvements while protecting the surrounding open space. For future owners, this means lasting privacy, protected views, and the assurance that the land's unique character and abundant wildlife will remain much as it is today. Supporting it all is the North Fork Valley itself — Colorado's most concentrated hub of organic farms and orchards, over a dozen world-class wineries, Gold Medal trout fishing on the Gunnison River, 300-plus lakes atop the Grand Mesa, and Montrose Regional Airport less than 45 minutes away. Longview Ranch is not just a property. It's a complete way of life at the edge of something wild.
