Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
The Gates Ranch is a legacy hunting and cattle ranch set on a high mesa above the Colorado River, offered for the first time after five generations of family ownership. The ranch includes a modest main log home with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, as well as a log bunkhouse with 6 bedrooms and 2 baths that sleeps up to 12. Ranch improvements also include multiple outbuildings, corrals, and two newer metal shops.
About 340 acres are irrigated and historically produce around 250 tons of hay annually, supporting a year-round cattle operation of roughly 100 head. Water resources include a senior 15 CFS decree off Derby Creek delivered through the Rogers and South Derby ditches, several adjudicated springs, and a domestic well serving both homes. A spring-fed 3-acre trout lake on the north side of the property is deep enough to overwinter fish.
Bordered to the north by Derby Canyon, the ranch includes rimrock walls and a free-flowing trout stream, creating habitat for local wildlife. National Forest and the Flattops Wilderness Area are about a mile up the road.
