J&R RANCH


J and R Ranch consists of a spectacular 1,553 acres located on Miller Mesa just outside of Ridgway, Colorado.  The land has excellent views of Sneffels Mountain Range, Courthouse Peaks and Ouray Valley.  Most of the property remains outside a conservation easement giving a new buyers great flexibility for future land use.  In addition the ranch has a wonderful mix of irrigated alpine meadow, ponds stocked with trout, meadows, ridgelines and pine/aspen groves.  The J and R Ranch is bordered by 900 acres in a conservation easement with the Rocky Mountain Elk foundation and provides healthy habitat for many animals.

The Rosetti Family have been the owners of the ranch for over 80 years and have continued to maintain the agricultural property tax status through annual summer cattle grazing.  We feel the ranch is currently the most desirable significant land offering in South West Colorado.
