The LaBarr Valley Ranch is a spectacular, 57 +/- acre farm, only 3.7 miles south of Montrose, Colorado. Ultimately, this is a multifaceted property. The farm is well suited for agronomic production having both priority water (1.25 CFS Fansher Horsefly Ditch, 1.75 CFS LaBarr Ditch, delivered via an UVWUA water exchange) and 53.8 shares of UVWUA. Consider the property’s strong views (the Grand Mesa, Cimarron Ridge, San Juan Mountains, and Uncompahgre Plateau) alongside its proximity to Montrose, and you have the makings of premier equestrian center or gentleman’s ranch. From an investment perspective, the farm lies in the housing-starved growth corridor of Montrose, Colorado. Utilities are available at the lot line including natural gas on three sides, power along the paved county road, and Tri-County water at the north and south boundary. One Tri-County tap has already been installed, delivering 105PSI to a PE service line that can service three buildings. This is a fine development opportunity, fully surveyed, with a completed title commitment, looking for the right entrepreneur. From hay grass to a family estate or new development, the LaBarr Valley Ranch offers the best of Colorado’s western slope!
