5 Colorado Legacy Ranches and Mountain Estates Over 70 Acres

Set on 550± acres in Meeker, this Western Colorado holding balances serious infrastructure with working-land utility and river access. At its center, a 41,000-square-foot warehouse/shop building is outfitted with six drive-in bays and two drive-through bays, all with 16-foot doors, plus a 10-ton crane overhead. The drive-through layout includes a service bay with a maintenance trench, a wash bay with catwalks, and a heated exit apron; all eight bays feature water collection that drains into a water/oil separation system. Three offices, a laboratory space, restroom facilities, and an IT room with multiple pairs of fiber optic cables tied to the internet backbone support operations, while the lot adds overhead lighting and roughly 50 engine-heater plug-ins. Beyond the shop: a 105-bed man camp with a commercial kitchen, recreation and laundry facilities, plus a Jack-and-Jill bedroom setup. A permitted gravel pit, center-pivot irrigated fields with certified weed-free hay, and three water rights round out a landscape bordered by State land and BLM, with White River access and year-round elk, deer, and bear.

Privacy is paired with year-round, county-maintained access, creating a rare sense of seclusion without sacrificing convenience. With proximity to the resort communities of Aspen and Vail, the ranch brings together land, water, location, and legacy in a setting designed to be enjoyed today and preserved for generations to come.
