About This Home
As of June 2023Mountain ranch for sale in Paonia, CO with recreation, hunting, high speed internet One of the hardest things about finding the perfect ranch is making a man with a thirst for adventure happy, while his wife or partner also finds the property appealing. Quite often the two are literally worlds apart. He wants seclusion, privacy, access to the mountains, and great hunting. He wouldn’t care if it were a three-hour drive to the nearest town. She, on the other hand, wants to socialize, go shopping, and get a great cup of coffee in town, and her furthest distance from town might be 45 minutes, but 20 minutes would be much better. The Lone Cabin Ranch has the perfect combination of assets to make both people happy, with outstanding views, a gorgeous home, 387 acres of beautiful mountain land, excellent hunting, National Forest access out the back door, and it’s only 10 minutes to town. Boom! Colorado horse property and recreation ranch for sale with excellent assets The Lone Cabin Ranch has a great set of assets for year-round living in a wonderful climate. Ranch attributes include: • 387 total deeded acres with approximately 50 irrigated acres • Abundant water rights, with 1,858 shares of Lone Cabin Ditch Co, 2 adjudicated springs, and water tap • Beautiful 2,100-square-foot custom log home w/3 BR, 2 BA • 880-square-foot caretaker’s home • Historic log settler’s cabin • Borders National Forest, BLM lands • Excellent deer & elk hunting with GMU 53 landowner tags • Paved year-round access, mild climate • 9 minutes to Paonia, CO • High-speed fiber internet, natural gas The Lone Cabin Ranch is in a stunning setting, tucked in right under the 11,400-foot peak of Mount Lamborn, which dominates the viewscape in the North Fork Valley. The views are simply beautiful. Built from round spruce logs imported from Canada, the log home is one of the best examples of log home construction we’ve seen. It is beautifully and tastefully done. The main living area features a spacious kitchen, open living room with cathedral ceilings, and two downstairs bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs is a storage area, workshop, and mechanical room. The upstairs loft area features the master bedroom, 5-piece bath, and roomy walk-in closets. The baths feature beautiful tile work with river cobble stone floors. At the entry to the ranch are two historic homes. The first is a 1-bedroom, 1-bath miner’s cottage from the 1930’s. It is in good condition and works well as a caretaker’s or ranch manager’s home. Additionally, there is a historic log settler’s cabin from the 1890’s that could make a great short-term rental property or guest house if it were properly remodeled. This ranch offers excellent hunting for trophy mule deer. Savvy hunters know that GMU 53 produces some of the biggest bucks in Colorado, and this ranch is ideally located for trophy mule deer. The seller leases the property to an outfitter who takes between 2 and 6 bucks a year off the property. Additionally, the landowner draws at least 1 trophy buck tag a year that can be sold for as much as $4,500. During the late seasons, elk come down from the high country and winter on the ranch. Wild turkeys are also numerous on the ranch. German Creek flows off the slopes of Mt. Lamborn through the ranch, which owns 1,858 shares of the Lone Cabin Ditch Company. In turn, the Lone Cabin Ditch company owns shares of two different reservoirs further up the mountain—3/16 of the Minnesota Reservoir and 1/16 of Beaver Reservoir. Additionally, the owner of the ranch has filed on two different springs popping up on the ranch, and owns a good well also. Water resources are so strong on the property that the Town of Paonia filed on a spring on the south side of the ranch and built a storage tank and therefore gave a domestic water tap to the ranch. The ranch currently has adequate water to irrigate about 60 acres, but the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) just approved an $8 mil
