About This Home
Shamrock Ranch | 1,867 Acres | Hotchkiss, Colorado A rare opportunity to own a legacy Western Colorado ranch rich in history and natural beauty. Located just west of Hotchkiss, this 1,867± acre property offers an ideal blend of irrigated hay ground, sub-irrigated pasture, rolling adobe hills, and piñon-juniper mesas. Historically operated as a sheep and hay ranch, the Shamrock Ranch is also a haven for hunting and recreation. The ranch includes 171.95± irrigated acres with strong water rights from five ditches, including Oasis Ditch No. 1 (7.8 cfs priority A90), Desert Ditch, Shamrock Ditch, Matlock Ditch, and a valuable year-round spring (Hotchkiss Slide Spring – 0.50 cfs, decreed in 1999 for irrigation and stock water). The irrigated acreage sits on elevated mesas, ideal for high-quality hay production with scenic views. Three residences provide housing for owners, guests, or staff. The main home is a 3-bedroom, 1.75-bath residence with mini-split heating/cooling and wood stove. Two additional manager homes offer 2 beds, 1 bath each—one with stucco siding and one with radiant heat and a wood stove. Domestic water is from Upper Surface Creek Water Company to service all homes. Improvements include a 2,880 sq. ft. Quonset shop on concrete slab, multiple loafing sheds, fenced pens, spring-fed livestock watering system, and several hay stack yards. Infrastructure is designed for year-round livestock operations. The ranch supports abundant wildlife, offering mule deer, late-season elk, upland birds, and even quail. Excellent hunting potential, combined with close proximity to Hotchkiss and Delta, makes this a standout property for ranchers, sportsmen, or investors. All information, including acreage, water rights, and improvements, has been sourced from public records and the county assessor. Buyer is responsible for independently verifying all information.
