Inside the Ranch

Find peace at the Grand Mesa View Ranch

and enjoy year-round, one-of-a-kind views

6800 Reeder Mesa Road

Whitewater, CO

This 40-acre property has 360-degree views. To the north and east, the Grand Mesa, largest flat-topped mesa in the world. To the south and west, 50+ miles of the Uncompahgre Plateau, as well as the snowcapped San Juan peaks. With this location, you’ll experience the ultimate in sunrises and sunsets.

The house sits back from the main road on a shared gravel lane. Traffic noise is non-existent, and you’ll hear birds chirping and quail chuckling, and during migration season, the calls of Sandhill Cranes flying over.

There is a resident group of deer year-round with more big bucks in the fall. Additional wildlife includes rabbits, pronghorn antelope, bobcats, eagles, owls, prairie falcons, meadowlarks, blue birds, and hummingbirds galore, just to mention a few. With this wide expanse of land, the views seem to go on forever. 2

The property is accessed via a private shared gravel drive (one other owner) which is maintained by the 2 shared owners. Reeder Mesa Road is paved, and maintained by Mesa County. Access to Highway 50 is via Reeder Mesa Road to the west, or Kannah Creek/Lands End Road to the east.

The private road is a prescriptive easement right for both property owners. The other property owner (220 acres) have been there for more than 35 years.

This property, and the surrounding properties, are zoned 1 house per 35 acres (not including ADUs). This means that there cannot be any subdivisions built on any of these 33 large parcels. There is a further restriction of 1 water tap per 35 acres, with the exception of a few which were grandfathered in.

INCOME PRODUCING OPTIONS

Accessory Dwelling Unit Rental Income

The permitted/approved ADU on the 2nd floor/west side of the property is currently generating income. The ADU has separate parking, entrances, etc. from the main house and generates $1,800/month (a discounted rate as the current renters help with the ranch and horse chores).

The current tenants would like to stay. The owners have found that renters for the ADU have been easy to find.

Field Leasing

The 3 fields (35 acres) are currently leased to a local rancher for cattle and haying operations. This handshake agreement requires the rancher to irrigate and maintain the fields, and he pays a per-cow grazing fee to run his cattle on the fields from December until approximately mid-April. This type of lease is an option for the property if the owner doesn’t want to work the place themselves. The season ending in April of 2025 generated $1,600.

Livestock Operation

Cattle: The 3 fields are available to run cattle. Frost free watering hydrants are available for each separate cross fenced field. Multiple gates to move cattle around.

Horses: With an arena, loafing shed, round pen, two paddocks, horse run/stalls, water sources, and hay barn/shop area, this property lends itself to owner horse operation, horse boarding, or training facility.

To potential buyer of the Grand Mesa View Ranch,

If you’ve reached this page, we hope you are as excited about the property as we have been for more than 37 years. The decision to sell and start off on a new adventure has been a difficult one for us, but it’s time for someone else to be able to enjoy this wonderful place.

When we first saw the property all those years ago, it was bare ground and grass fields. But, oh, those views! With no power lines or other houses within ¾ of a mile, and the mountain and valley backdrops, there was no doubt it was to be our home. We chose the site for the house after long deliberation, to take advantage of the amazing views. A great deal of thought also went into the placement of the outbuildings to minimize loss of views but keep the buildings fully functional and with practical layouts and enhancements.

The ranch’s beautiful architectural elements, complimentary style and colors, and livability are a testament to our life-long history of contracting and cabinetmaking, and an overarching wish to provide a comfortable home for ourselves, family, and friends. It took meticulous planning and execution, and focus on planned uses, efficiency, and longevity.

Except the original tiny cabin – we kept it in its home next to the fir tree, to ground us in the land’s history.

Because of all the opportunities for outdoor activities the Western Slope offers, we knew we’d need places to keep all the outdoor and seasonal equipment and an RV, as well as our horses and tack, and our extensive construction tools and equipment. We also wanted it out of sight but still easy to get to, so we built in tons of storage in a variety of sizes and styles, throughout the house and outbuildings.

Maintaining the buildings, inside and out, has been a priority, and nothing has been “let go” during our years here. We focused our landscaping on trees and attractive groundwork, to showcase the views - not detract from them - and to keep maintenance down.

This property has been a labor of love all along, and we have very high standards. We’ve had so many happy events with family and friends, and plenty of space to hold them, as well as more intimate get-togethers in the great room or on the patio. It’s been our base of operations for horseback riding trips, summer buggy and winter sleigh rides, mountain biking, 4-wheeling, hunting, and trips in our RV. And we know there’s plenty of room for an occasional Slip-n-Slide!

We hope the next owner finds as much joy living here as we have done.

Rick and Linda Weber
