Rio Blanco County
Wet Meadow Grazing And Hunting Tract
19294 Co 13 Rifle, CO 81650
Description
This tract presents a practical opportunity for buyers seeking a versatile piece of Western Colorado land with a combination of access, usability, and long-term potential. Positioned with highway frontage along two sides, the property benefits from year-round access and straightforward logistics for both agricultural and recreational use. Power is available along the road, which adds to the property’s utility and supports the possibility of future improvements.
Historically utilized for grazing, the property is fully fenced and well-suited for continued livestock use. The terrain and vegetation support seasonal grazing operations, and the existing fencing infrastructure provides a functional starting point for operators looking to maintain or expand agricultural use. With proper management, the parcel could continue to serve as a reliable grazing asset in a region known for its ranching heritage.
The property also borders a large tract of Bureau of Land Management ground, effectively expanding the sense of space and providing direct access to additional acreage for recreation. This adjacency enhances both the usability and appeal of the land, particularly for those interested in hunting, horseback riding, or exploring public lands directly from the property.
Located within Game Management Unit 22, the property qualifies for consideration under Colorado’s Landowner Preference Program application process, subject to Colorado Parks and Wildlife requirements and approval. The area is well known for its big game populations, including elk, mule deer, black bear, and occasional moose, along with turkey and other wildlife species. The combination of habitat, nearby water sources in the region, and surrounding public land contributes to consistent wildlife activity.
In addition to its agricultural and recreational uses, the property offers potential as a future building site. With power available along the road and strong access from multiple sides, a new owner could explore residential or cabin development, subject to county regulations and permitting. The setting provides a balance of privacy and accessibility, with open views and a rural landscape characteristic of this part of the state.
An additional opportunity exists to pair this tract with the adjacent parcel to the south, which is also available. That property includes pass-under highway access, creating the potential for a larger, more functional holding when combined. Buyers seeking scale or expanded operational flexibility may find value in acquiring both properties.
The location offers convenient proximity to regional service centers while maintaining a rural setting. Rifle is approximately 18 miles to the south, providing groceries, fuel, and essential services. Meeker lies roughly 23 miles to the north, while Grand Junction is about 80 miles to the southwest, offering a broader range of amenities, medical facilities, and commercial services. Air travel is accessible via Garfield County Regional Airport near Rifle and Grand Junction Regional Airport, both within reasonable driving distance.
With its combination of highway frontage, existing fencing, power availability, and adjacency to public land, this property is well-positioned for buyers seeking a multi-use parcel. Whether the goal is to continue grazing operations, develop a recreational base, pursue hunting opportunities, or establish a future homesite, the land offers flexibility in a region where access and usability remain key factors in long-term value.
