    The Owner's Perspective: EGR Ranch

    Joey Burns and Luke Kimble discuss a rare Colorado ranch for sale, the EGR Ranch. Big Elk, Big Sky, and Big Views—this is the magnificent EGR Ranch! Located in the famous Cimarron Valley, EGR boasts 5,550 +/- acres, abundant irrigation water (1,419 AF plus 8 CFS from the Whittingham #1 Ditch, 1,424 +/- classified irrigated acres), awe-inspiring views, and an ample elk and deer population. Upon entering the main gate, it becomes abundantly clear why ground like this pervaded the hearts and minds of Colorado’s early settlers. From HWY-50 and Curecanti in the north, to CR P77 in the south, the ranch’s rolling topography yields a vegetative mosaic, alternating between gambel oak knobs, sage flats, and irrigated glens. This stunning landscape is complemented by 2.50 +/- miles of exclusive Veo creek frontage, 27+ ponds, a comfortable 4,038 SF hunting lodge, and 2,400 SF barn. Colorado’s fastest growing airport, alongside many fine dining options, is within 22 miles and the renowned ski slopes of Crested Butte and Telluride are only a short morning drive. It was the promise of ranches like this that captured the American imagination in 1862, and today, backdropped by a 14,000-ft horizon, they still do!

    The Owner's Perspective: Larry Jones

    Joey Burns welcomes Larry Jones to Eagle Land Brokerage. Larry grew up in Pennsylvania playing baseball, football and doing anything outdoors. He worked on the Dupont dairy and horse farm, maintaining the property and helping with the hay operation. Called to the west, Larry headed to Montana State University earning a degree in Agricultural Engineering Technology while working on farms and ranches as well as the Montana State Agricultural Experiment Station. His professional career was in capital equipment and finance with focus on sales and product management. The demand of the corporate life required extensive travel and relocation, which a priority of family overruled and a pursuit of Campground resorts prevailed. Larry and his wife have owned/operated both franchises known as Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park and KOA. Larry and Kim also owned a ranch/farm which produced high quality horse hay and a small herd of Piedmontese cattle. More recently Larry was a licensed Financial Advisor but found he needed more time outdoors as the mountains were calling! Larry has been married to the love of his life Kim for 33 years, and is the proud parent of four children. Larry and Kim are active members of Fellowship Church in Grand Junction, CO.

    The Montrose Alpine Ranch

    Joey Burns and Brayden Burns discuss rare Colorado ranches for sale, The Montrose Alpine Ranch. In the twilight years of the William H. Taft Administration, Richard Gallin filed for patent with the General Land Office of the United States. Gallin’s patent laid claim to 160 acres of premiere Colorado real estate, and his virgin parcel would sit atop the Cimarron Ridge, peering down on the fertile Uncompahgre Valley. Even 111 years after Gallin laid stake, the rationale of his decision shines radiantly. With mature quaking aspen, broad alpine meadows, and a crisp Colorado breeze, who wouldn’t lay claim? Today’s Montrose Alpine Ranch boasts a portion of Gallin’s original patent, alongside all the attributes that drew him to Southwestern Colorado. This spectacular 782 +/- acre parcel vaunts a flourishing aspen forest interspersed with open meadows, spring-fed ponds, and budding wildflowers. With abundant water, feed, and cover, the Montrose Alpine Ranch is brimming with potential – whether early-season elk hunts, grass-fed beef, or a high-altitude getaway. Elk, bear, and turkey licenses are available over the counter (game unit 65), and substantial public land and fishing is only short UTV drive away. Boutique dining, shopping, and regional air service can all be found in downtown Montrose, making Montrose Alpine Ranch one of the most proximate mountain paradises available. Gallin was no fool when he laid his claim in 1912, and this ranch is living proof. Towering aspens, bountiful springs, and the thundering echo of an elk’s bugle – could there be a better place to plant your Ebenezer?

    The Rainbow Trout Ranch

    Joey Burns and Brayden Burns discuss rare Colorado ranches for sale, The Rainbow Trout Ranch. Rainbow Trout Ranch is one of those rare finds with so many possibilities. The Rainbow Trout Ranch is a true Colorado recreational ranch featuring spectacular acreage in which to ride, fish, hike and enjoy nature. The ranch is very desirable due to its strong, positive influence from the Conejos River and the surrounding public lands. It has excellent views, strong wildlife activity, good mixed vegetation, terrain, and land types. A true vacation destination for the whole family, Rainbow Trout Ranch spans 591 +/- acres across Southwest Colorado. Since the 1990s, the current owners have focused on making this Colorado dude ranch an exclusive family getaway. Activities include hiking, fishing, horseback riding, hayrides, river rafting, hoe-downs - and for the kids, add swimming and crafting. And don't forget - good eatin'! Families enjoy a week-long vacation in a breathtaking setting surrounded by the Rio Grand National Forest and bordering the San Juan Wilderness. Once an exclusive fisherman's club in the 1900s, the ranch opened to the public in the 1920s after the completion of the main lodge, which still stands today. Rainbow Trout Ranch, while offering amazing adventures on its own vast acreage, also serves as a home base for adventures to scenic railroads, ancient Native American dwellings, and the Southwest culture. If you've ever dreamed of owning your own dude ranch vacation destination and continuing a 100+ -year legacy, Rainbow Trout Ranch is the perfect property for you!
