Beautiful and secluded ranch on the upper end of Rogers Mesa up towards Leroux Creek. Incredible privacy on a dead-end road, with meadows and hay fields tucked back into the trees in your own little valley. The existing home is an older farmhouse that is on a partially finished basement. It is dated, but is functional, livable, and certainly worth remodeling, or could be used as a rental or guest house. There are tremendous building sites back in on the ranch for your dream home if you are looking to build your own. There is a newer detached steel building that is an oversized 2 car garage/workshop, and there is also a 1 car drive under garage. There are also numerous older (some historic) farm outbuildings. Good mountain and valley views, lots of trees, and lots of wildlife. This is an old ranch that has been in the same Family for many decades, but certainly has the location and setting to potentially be a real trophy place. Whether your hobbies include cows, horses, goats and livestock, or you have a greener thumb and want to produce hay, hops, hemp, fruit, produce, or grapes, the possibilities are endless here. The numerous water rights can make it possible. The Highline Ditch flows through the property and currently provides year around stock water, and Stingley Gulch does as well. There is BLM access just a short ways up the road, and 3100 Road accesses the Leroux Creek Valley and thousands of acres of BLM and National Forest lands with almost unlimited opportunities for horseback riding, fishing in the creeks and numerous lakes, hiking, 4-wheeling, and/or hunting. Superb trophy deer hunting in GMU 52 right on the ranch itself as well as on the nearby public lands. Bull Elk tags are over-the-counter in Unit 52 for 2nd and 3rd seasons.
