Excellent opportunity to own a piece of Colorado with end of the road privacy and gives direct access to tens of thousands of acres of public land. Green Mountain Ranch spans 391 acres at the edge of the Grand Mesa, offering unmatched seclusion, premier hunting opportunities, and the chance to preserve one of the Rockies' most scenic environments. There is a basic lean-to with wood stove, dining area, and glassing platform. Property also has a water transfer system from the adjudicated spring to bring water throughout the property for wildlife and livestock. Trails have been cut on the property for 4x4 and ATV travel.
Green Mountain Ranch generates substantial annual hunting income. Offering access to the ranch and the surrounding public land, it's in an area that's almost impossible to access and hunt from public land portals.
Regularly 24 hunters over 5 hunting seasons for a gross return of $84,000, demonstrating its viability as an investment opportunity. With a 5-year projection reaching $420,000, the ranch provides a solid financial foundation for potential buyers.
Few mountain recreation ranches can reach a 8.6% CAP rate, not including property appreciation year-over-year.
Historically in Delta County, vacant recreational land averages around 4.6% appreciation YoY
Standard Ag Land Appreciation averages 7.4% YoY.
Between CAP rate and property value appreciation, Green Mountain Ranch can potentially return more than 13% total on investment. Investment figures are not guaranteed.
