34074 Fruitland Mesa Road

Traveling across lush farmland approaching the road down to the Canyon Ranch gate, a stunning experience awaits the unsuspecting visitor. Rounding the corner and taking in the first glimpse of what can best be described as an Eden-like setting, lies the 663± acre Canyon Ranch. Smith Fork Creek, a large fishing pond, hayfields, a vineyard, equestrian facilities, main lodge that can sleep 20 guests, and multiple additional residences & cabins are all framed by a private picturesque canyon rising along the ranch boundary.
Smith Fork Creek is the heart of the property, and the ranch enjoys substantial water rights, allowing for many of the ranch's features. Wildlife is abundant because, like every waterway, Smith Fork Creek provides a corridor for many species, including mule deer, elk, black bear, bobcats, and various smaller mammals and birds. The ranch is protected by a flexible Conservation Easement, allowing for an additional building site and one subdivision. Trail riders will enjoy access from the ranch to trails in adjacent Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is only 5± miles from the ranch as the crow flies.
Canyon Ranch's central-western Colorado location lends reasonable driving times to many desirable destinations, such as the Roaring Fork Valley and Aspen, Telluride, Montrose, Gunnison, and Grand Junction. Of course, the Crawford Airport and FBO are only minutes from the ranch and offer a great alternative to driving. There are income-producing opportunities, both agricultural and from a possible guest ranch or retreat. This ranch will surprise you with its beauty and wealth of possibilities.
