How Much Land Is This?

Using the handy converter compliments of Google, you'll discover that 2,959 acres equals 4.62 square miles. Is that a lot? Well, considering I can't even take care of a 1/4 lot in town, I would say 4.62 square miles is a fair amount of land.

Where Is Somerset, Colorado?

According to Colorado.com, Somerset is tucked between two national forests on the edge of Gunnison and Delta counties in Western Colorado. The site adds, "This historic coal-mining community, which still produces some cleaner-burning coal known as black gold, is today a gold mine for outdoor enthusiasts."

Looking at Google Maps, the drive from the Ragged Mountain Ranch East to Aspen, Colorado comes in at 63.7 miles, and roughly one hour and thirty-five minutes. The drive from the ranch to Grand Junction, if taking the Highway 50 route through Delta and Paonia comes in at 98,6 miles and just over two hours.

Ranch On The Property

  • miles of Nation Forest border
  • water rights
  • seasonal creeks
  • irrigated hayfields
