Last Tine Ranch is a 225 ± deeded acre Southwest Colorado foothills offering that combines irrigated production, meaningful water resources, direct BLM boundary, equestrian appeal, and two residences in a highly functional ranch setting.

Designed for year round comfort and built with exceptional presence, the home showcases custom log architecture, richly appointed interiors, and striking antler chandeliers that elevate its warm western character.

Two Mancos Rural Water taps supply domestic water to the residence.

A separate 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,716± square foot guest house provides flexibility for luxury guest accommodations, extended family, professional on site management, or short or long term rental income. Finished with granite countertops, a wood burning stove, and a mini split heating and cooling system added in 2025. Both homes convey partially furnished.

The ranch is well suited for equestrian use, with features that support horse safety and everyday functionality. Existing fencing is predominantly woven wire, while year round water and loafing sheds provide reliable shelter and daily utility. In addition to the larger pasture, the property includes two especially attractive smaller pastures that are well suited for turnout, rotation, or more tailored horse use.

Located in Colorado's Game Management Unit 73, the ranch offers an exceptional hunting and recreation profile shaped by years of thoughtful wildlife stewardship. A strong resident elk herd, consistent mature mule deer with trophy potential, and enrollment in the Landowner Preference Program make this a highly appealing property for sportsmen, while over the counter elk opportunity and a long history of regularly drawing multiple mule deer tags, particularly for archery and muzzleloader, add to the ranch's recreational appeal. The ranch has been carefully managed to allow wildlife to mature and flourish, including a five year period with no hunting prior to the current ownership and a continued low pressure approach under the current owner, who has limited use to just two hunters per year and established protected sanctuary areas where game can move undisturbed. The result is a ranch that shines during early season hunts and offers the kind of recreational experience that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Bordering Bureau of Land Management land that is effectively unreachable to the general public because of surrounding private land and steep elevation, the ranch benefits from a rare expanse of quiet adjacent ground that enhances seclusion, reduces recreational pressure, and helps sustain a strong wildlife corridor.

Water and production are central to the ranch's long term viability. Five ponds provide meaningful irrigation storage capacity, totaling approximately 6± surface acres. The two largest ponds are each approximately 2.5± acres and hold an estimated six weeks of irrigation water apiece, creating rare storage flexibility in the area. With this pond storage in place, the ranch benefits from some of the strongest irrigation reliability in the region, allowing continued application when properties relying solely on direct flow rights may face restriction. The ponds also support productive waterfowl hunting.

Approximately 40± acres are in irrigated hay production, yielding roughly 2,000 bales on the first cutting. A second cutting is possible; however, the ground is currently leased for grazing from late summer through fall instead. Irrigation infrastructure includes five side roll systems and nine stationary valves. The ground is supported by 8 foot high tensile perimeter fencing. Fire mitigation was completed in 2025 and continues into 2026. Farm equipment is available for purchase separately.
