About This Home

4690 N Co Rd 5 W

Riverbend Ranch is a remarkable property located between the charming Southwestern towns of Del Norte and Monte Vista, Colorado. Spanning 354± acres, the ranch offers high-quality farmland, complemented by 2± miles of Rio Grande River frontage. This agricultural gem is fully fenced, currently supports 20 horses year-round, and produces 425± tons of natural hay from its numerous hay meadows. The ranch is also placed under a conservation easement, which preserves the farmland by restricting residential, recreational, and commercial development while still allowing for agricultural structures and improvements. This ensures that the land will remain protected for future generations and will continue to support agricultural activities. Water rights are a key feature of Riverbend Ranch. The property benefits from approximately 5.0 cfs of water from the Silva Ditch, with priority numbers 1, 7, 38, 239, and 251, along with an additional 2.0 cfs from the Atencio Ditch, priority number 144. Both water rights divert from the Rio Grande River. In addition, the ranch has two wells, one with a permit and the other constructed but awaiting final approval. The ranch offers a wealth of recreational opportunities. Multiple sloughs dot the property, creating a haven for birdwatchers in the summer and waterfowl hunters in the fall. The ranch is also home to elk and deer, making it ideal for hunting and fishing, which can be spectacular. Non-commercial activities such as horseback riding, hiking, cross-country skiing, and floating the river are perfect for those seeking a more tranquil experience. In addition to the ranch itself, the property includes a residential home situated on 2.35± acres, along with 4 additional lots totaling 8.64± acres. Each of these lots is outfitted with its own well, electric, phone, and natural gas. The flexibility of these lots allows for potential resale or development, providing an opportunity for additional income. The main residence is a beautiful 2,752± square foot stucco home with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The home’s interior is spacious yet cozy, featuring a two-sided gas fireplace that separates the living room from the dining area. The open-plan kitchen includes an eat-in dining space and offers views of the surrounding land. The house also includes several unique flex spaces, perfect for a home office, reading nook, or craft room, all designed to take advantage of the property’s stunning natural surroundings. Riverbend Ranch is a perfect blend of productive agricultural land, abundant water resources, recreational activities, and residential comfort, all set in a scenic and historic area of Colorado.
