Property Description

Set deep in the wild red rock canyons of western Colorado, Sinbad Ranch offers 2,000 acres of premier big-game habitat and storied frontier history. Located in the iconic Sinbad Valley and bordered by towering cliffs of Sewemup Mesa, this legacy property delivers world-class trophy mule deer and elk hunting that echoes the spirit of the Old West. Positioned along the Montrose-Mesa County line and bordering Utah, Sinbad Ranch offers seclusion with excellent access-just 75 miles to Grand Junction and 100 miles to Montrose Regional Airport. The ranch borders the Manti-La Sal National Forest, with access to thousands of acres of public land for horseback riding, hunting, and outdoor exploration. With three natural springs, a private lake, and the only year-round water in the Sinbad Valley, this land draws and holds big game like few others. Rugged mesas, timbered draws, irrigated fields, and sagebrush flats create ideal habitat for mature bulls and bucks-making a destination for serious sportsmen seeking unforgettable hunts and trophy-caliber game. Once a stagecoach stop and hideout for outlaws like the McCarty Gang, the ranch holds deep historical roots that add meaning to every canyon and trail. Two well-kept residences provide year-round comfort and lodging. The Main House features three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main floor, with a spacious living area overlooking the irrigated alfalfa field where elk and deer often graze. A finished basement offers extra sleeping quarters and a full bath, ideal for guests or hunting crews. A separate Caretaker's Home adds flexibility for staff or extended stays. Sinbad Ranch supports a 100-head cattle operation with a 54-acre pivot-irrigated alfalfa field and strong grazing rights. Infrastructure includes perimeter and cross fencing, ranch roads, livestock facilities, storage buildings, and all equipment-making the ranch fully turnkey from day one.
