Scenic and beautiful, this is a view of the Mesa Verde National Park off in the distance. This photo was taken at sunset and
was shot from the east side of the larger parcel. Yellow Jacket Canyon has its beginnings along the edge of the field.
It is owned and operated by the BLM and eventually runs into the Canyon of the Ancients National Monument.
This is a photo of the smaller parcel. Sleeping Ute Mountain is in the background.
Along the NW boundary of the larger parcel is the homestead. There is an older modular home, a newer large hay barn and
several historic buildings. A spring originates above this area and provides a small stream and wetlands for livestock water.
The wooded areas and the neighboring canyons teem with wildlife.
Just a short drive away is the amazing McPhee Reservoir. Recreational opportunities include two boat
launches, five campgrounds (1,160 camp sites), and 13 miles of created fishery. In addition, there is a
40,500 square foot museum and archaeological center that houses over 2 million artifacts from the project area.
In addition to the ability to earn a good income, this ranch offers amazing tranquility, privacy, and
beauty in an area that is “undiscovered” in Colorado. Several prize winning wineries have also just
started growing grapes in this area.

Yellow Jacket Canyon Ranch Summary
SIZE:
778 total deeded acres, more or less.
About 412.7 acres, more or less, of the total 778 acres is irrigable alfalfa and
farm ground.
LOCATION:
19224 Road 16, Yellow Jacket, CO 81335 (about 618 acres) and about 2½
miles away is…
14990 Road X, Yellow Jacket, CO 81335 (160 acre center pivot).
This ranch is located in scenic and beautiful southwestern Colorado about 20
miles northwest of Cortez, 60 miles from Durango, and about 6 hours from
Phoenix. It borders miles and miles of Yellow Jacket Canyon BLM lands,
Sand Canyon BLM land, and the Canyon of the Ancients National Monument.
FARM GROUND: Approximately 412.6 irrigable acres is watered with 2 diesel powered pivots
and 9 side rolls. Of this 412.6 acres, 160 acres is watered with one center
pivot; this 160-acre field is located about 2.5 miles from the balance of the
property (There are no buildings on this parcel.).
WATER:
IRRIGATION WATER: Irrigation water is from the Dolores Water
Conservancy District. The U. S. Bureau of Reclamation built the McPhee
Reservoir and the system that delivers the water during the 1980’s. The water
is delivered through a sophisticated system of pump plants, canals, and
laterals. The Delores Water Conservancy District also maintains the system to
the owner’s property line.
For this property 808.9 acre feet of water is scheduled to be delivered annually
to boxes on the land with a guarantee of 60 pounds of pressure, making any
additional pumping unnecessary.
The local “Cortez Journal” reported in April 2007 that this year McPhee
Reservoir is expected to be full, which basically “guarantees” the availability
of irrigation water for this summer and next summer. The estimated cost for
irrigation water for this property for 2007 will run about $27,926 assuming
full delivery with no overages. The water stays with the land and is not
severable.
The water for the house on this property is supplied by Montezuma Water
District. There is a tap for this house owned by Sellers; it can be sold.
There are no wells.
IRRIGATION SYSTEMS: The 2 pivots, one center pivot for 160 acres and
one for 90-100 acres, are diesel powered Zimmatic. Both are about eleven
years old.
There are a total of 9 side rolls. 4 of the side rolls are Wade Rain systems and
are about 12-14 years old. The others are older but are in good workable
condition.
Rainfall in the area is about 15-18” on an average year according to High
Plains Regional Climate Center.
ALFALFA/CROPS: Currently, the approximate 412.7 irrigable acres are planted in pinto beans
and alfalfa (about half and half). Of the total 412.7 irrigable acres,
there are approximately 389-390 net acres irrigated (due to corners).
The alfalfa is high quality dairy hay; yields for 2006 ran about 5-6T/acre for 3
cuttings. The price in 2006 was between $125-$135/Ton out of the field.
Historically, the alfalfa has been shipped to NM or TX. Some years there are 4
cuttings. In 2002 there were only two cuttings due to forest fires (none of the
ranch or close surrounding areas was burned) and severe drought.
The pinto beans are running about 22 sacks to the acre (sacks are 100
pounds). The 2006 crop was sold for $25 per sack.
PASTURE LAND: Approximately 388 acres, more or less, of the ranch is pasture land. Much of
it is treed with mostly pinion and cedar trees. It is not fenced on the canyon
side which borders BLM. There are smaller fenced pastures near the
homestead, two of which have undeveloped springs which run into a little
pond and wetland areas. Owners estimate that this land could conservatively
run 40 or so pairs for the summer.
IMPROVEMENTS: Old double wide--“livable” for some folks. If not, it will make a great building
site.
Newer hay barn is 6750 square feet.
Miscellaneous sheds.
AIR ACCESS:
For commercial flights, Great Lakes Aviation services the Cortez Municipal
Airport. www.priceline.com quotes non-stop fares from Denver International
Airport. The facility has a terminal building, a 7,205 foot runway and is

PRICE/TERMS:
Asking $1,350,000 cash or terms acceptable to Sellers.
INCOME:
Ranch is currently leased on a 2/3 to tenant and 1/3 to owner share crop.
Total irrigation costs run around $28,000/year and total fertilizer is about
$3500/year which tenant and Sellers split two-thirds and one third. Hard costs
for repair of irrigation equipment are also split in this way with tenant doing
much of the maintenance work himself.
TOPOGRAPHY:
This superior farm property features flat to gently rolling irrigated ground
with the balance being pasture with some pinion and cedar trees.
USGS topographical maps show the elevation at about 6800 feet.
FEATURES:
Rich in ancient history, there are several Indian mounds on the property.
When fields are plowed pottery chards and arrowheads can be found.
About 25-30 miles to the south are the ancient cliff dwellings of the Anasazi
Indians located in Mesa Verde National Park. If the sun and clouds are just
right, some evenings at the ranch will showcase spectacular colors when the
light hits the cliffs at Mesa Verde.
Yellow Jacket Canyon, Canon of the Ancients National Monument, and Sand
Canyon are all on adjacent BLM/federal lands which offers horseback riding
for almost unlimited miles through spectacular and historic scenery.
Awesome views of the snow-capped Blue Mountains, Sleeping Ute Mountain,
the San Juans, and Mt. Wilson and Lone Cone near Telluride can be seen
from the ranch. Views go all the way from Telluride to New Mexico,
Arizona, and Utah.
Just a short drive away is the amazing McPhee Reservoir. Recreational
opportunities include two boat launches, five campgrounds (1,160 camp sites),
and 13 miles of created fishery. In addition, there is a 40,500 square foot
museum and archaeological center that houses over 2 million artifacts from
the project area.
In addition to the ability to earn a good income, this ranch offers amazing
tranquility, privacy, and beauty in an area that is “undiscovered” in Colorado.
The area is also teeming with wildlife. You can see trophy elk, mule deer,
black bear, lions, pheasant, and ringtail cats.
Ringtail cats?? I wasn’t sure what ringtail cats were; so I looked them up:
Ringtail cats are not related to the cat family but are really members of the
raccoon family, Procyonidae. Ringtails are cat sized animals that resemble a
mix between a fox and a raccoon. The face is fox-like, with a pointed snout,
and the body is raccoon-like and elongated. The top side of the animal is
yellow to dark brown or black, and the underside is a whitish buff. The ears
and eyes are large and the eyes are ringed by white fur. The tail is very bushy
and can be longer than the head and body in many cases. The name “ringtail”
comes from 14-16 alternating black and white bands that are found on the
animal’s tail.
Ringtails are also referred to by many other names, like miner’s cat (because
they were used to help control rodents in mines), civet cat (because of the foul
odor it secretes when confronted; this name is also an allusion to an African
species named Civettictis civetta, which produces a substance called civet that
is used in perfumes), and cacomistle (which is derived from the word
tlacomiztli meaning “half mountain lion” in the native language of the Mexican
Hahuatl Indians). The scientific name, Bassariscus astusus, comes from
bassar (fox), isc (little), and astut (cunning).
So, what are you waiting for? Come see this productive and beautiful ranch
and maybe a rare ringtail cat, too!
