Skybreak Mesa Ranch: Stunning Mountain Views, Exceptional Privacy, Acreage with Irrigation and Diverse Terrain

Skybreak Mesa Ranch offers the kind of acreage buyers look for in the Montrose area: usable irrigated ground, meaningful improvements, unparalleled privacy, spectacular views in every direction, and wide-ranging topographic character to create a ranch that feels both functional and distinctly its own.

Key Features:

• Residence: The 2-story modern farm-house style residence with a wrap-around covered porch is substantial with 3,474± total square feet. Included is a 1,000± square foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) providing living space flexibility as well as a full unfinished basement.
• Additional Improvements: A newly built and insulated 64'x40' shop; a horse set up with a tack room, 64'x12'x12' lean-to shelter, a second free-standing horse shelter, an electric-fenced and irrigated pasture, and a hay storage shelter; a fully-fenced vegetable garden with raised beds and fruit trees attached to a drip irrigation system, greenhouse, frost free spigot, and electric power; a fully fenced, expansive, and level to gently sloping yard connected to a pressurized sprinkler system; mature landscaping connected to a drip irrigation system; an RV pad with a 50 Amp electrical hookup, water and septic connections; and 2 chicken coops with water and electric.
• Acreage: 85± deeded and perimeter-fenced acres with a mix of irrigated land, flat usable ground while also featuring mesa topography, slopes, draws, tree cover, dense forest, and an elevated setting that creates unparalleled privacy and breathtaking views.

The home sits on top of the mesa above the surrounding valleys. This setting provides 360-degree views from the home that include the Grand Mesa to the North, Black Canyon National Park and the Town of Montrose to the East, Cimmaron Mountain and the snow-capped, 14,000-foot San Juan Mountain Range to the South, and the Uncompahgre Plateau to the West. Built in 2020 by the current owners, the main home offers 3 large bedrooms, an office, 3 bathrooms, a dining room, open concept kitchen and living room, and a loft. The ADU includes 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, a living area, and a sunroom. The 3-car garage is extra deep providing additional room for storage or your toys.

Connected to the main house through the laundry access area, the ADU can function as part of the main home or as a more independent living space for guests, extended family, or on-site support. Separate furnaces, water heaters, and A/C systems service the main residence and the ADU. The residence also has a full, unfinished basement with 9' ceilings to provide a large storage area and future potential living or entertaining space, including two separate areas with windows that could be finished into spacious legal bedrooms. From the basement there is also access to two fully sealed, large crawl spaces for extra storage. A covered porch surrounds the main home where you can relax and enjoy the impressive mountain views and peaceful surroundings. In addition, there is a large, south-facing, screened-in porch accessed by both the main home and ADU.

Water is another valuable asset for this ranch. The property includes 21 shares of the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association (UVWUA), with irrigation water currently supporting the two hayfields through a system of irrigation ditches connected to the main irrigation canal, and gated pipes. The horse pasture and lawn are also watered with the UVWUA irrigation water through a pressurized sprinkler delivery system. In addition, the property includes deeded water rights to a portion of the flow from year-round springs on the far west side of the property. City water is connected to the residence where it is treated by a whole house filtration system before it enters the home's plumbing. Five frost free spigots also provide city water to the vegetable/fruit and landscape gardens' drip irrigation systems, the chicken coops, the horse setup, and the RV pad.

The improvements beyond the home include the large, insulated shop completed last year, with 12'x12'x 64' lean-tos on the East and West sides, two 12'x14' garage doors with openers connected to a Bluetooth controller, and 220 power. Additionally, the greenhouse, chicken coops, and established vegetable garden with raised beds add to the property's practical value. These are not decorative additions. They help make the ranch more functional for equipment storage, projects, gardening, and everyday living.

While the expansiveness of the property and its diverse terrain provide ample opportunities for hiking, hunting, horseback riding, and off-road vehicle exploration within its boundaries, there is also convenient and close access to the Rim Road and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's Tabeguache Trailhead. Both are famous on the Western Slope of Colorado among off-road enthusiasts for exploring the Uncompahgre Plateau and its thousands of square miles of wild public lands. In addition, a herd of mule deer frequently visits the property year-round, as well as other wildlife and many bird species including eagles, hawks, wild turkeys, owls, and hummingbirds.

The land also leaves room for the next owner's plans. The property is not currently subdivided, but there is subdivision potential if desired. That flexibility adds another layer of long-term value while allowing the ranch to be enjoyed as it sits today.

There is a steadiness to this ranch that is rare and hard to replicate. The home, the land, and the improvements all work together in a way that makes the property feel settled, useful, and ready for its next chapter.
