Water is a defining feature of Black Sky Ranch. The property includes five ponds and two creeks, creating year-round surface water and strong habitat throughout the year. These water features support both irrigation operations and exceptional wildlife use. Located within the Central Flyway, the ranch is meticulously designed and managed for waterfowl hunting, with additional opportunities for mule deer and other big game in Game Management Unit 30.

The property features a pressurized irrigation system with multiple heads, supplied by water rights from the creeks for irrigation, pond filling, and recreational use. The ponds are designed in a cascading layout and can be easily drained and refilled by turning a valve, allowing them to be dried out and replanted annually.

The ranch is protected by a conservation easement held by Colorado West Land Trust, which helps preserve the overall character of the property while still allowing agricultural use and limited development. Three designated building envelopes offer flexibility for future residences or operational improvements, giving a new owner options without compromising the layout of the land.

The property includes a 120’ x 30’ shop with power, water, and an RV hookup, making it well suited for equipment storage, agricultural use, or future expansion. Located just outside Grand Junction, the ranch offers easy access to services, dining, and transportation, while being only 14± miles from the Utah border adds flexibility and convenience for regional travel.

Black Sky Ranch combines productive irrigated acreage, reliable surface water, and strong recreational appeal in a prime Western Colorado setting. Situated within the Central Flyway and offering excellent waterfowl and big game hunting, the property is well suited for agricultural operations, a private hunting lodge, or long-term recreational use. Opportunities of this scale and versatility are increasingly limited, making Black Sky Ranch a must see opportunity.
