The Lorenz Ranch spans an impressive 1,768± contiguous deeded acres of classic Northwestern Colorado terrain, offering a rare blend of highly usable grazing ground, CRP annual income with natural habitat diversity, and exceptional recreational appeal. This is the kind of property that checks the boxes for both working ranch functionality and big game opportunity, all wrapped in a private, scenic setting located 10 minutes from the airport! The ranch is defined by rolling ridgelines, open benches, and well-established draws that naturally shape the landscape and provide both form and function. Large sections of historic dryland fields and native grass flats provide excellent annual income from the current CRP contract, while the terrain transitions seamlessly into sagebrush hillsides and oak brush-filled drainages . These draws not only add visual depth, but also serve as natural travel corridors for wildlife and practical divisions for livestock management. Elevation ranges from approximately 6,600 to 7,200 feet, offering a balance of accessibility and variation. The ranch is easy to navigate across much of its footprint, yet diverse enough to support strong habitat and visual appeal. From elevated vantage points, you'll take in expansive valley views and distant mountain ranges, reinforcing the wide-open character that defines Northwest Colorado!
