Gould Ranch

Gould Ranch is a quality livestock and equestrian ranch with infrastructure to conduct both uses. Quality grasslands, calving barn, processing barn, shop, commodity shed, extensive corral system with feed bunks which support the livestock operation while an indoor riding/training facility with indoor stalls, tack room, wash rack and shoeing room as well as a stall barn and horse shed support the equestrian operation. The facilities include 3 homes including the main residence (4 bed, 3 bath), a secondary residence (4 bed, 1.5 bath) and a smaller home (1 bed, 2 bath) that provide ample living spaces for the intended use. LOCATION Gould Ranch is in very northeastern Adams County and approximately 22 miles south of Fort Morgan at 16400 Winview Mile Road, Fort Morgan, Colorado. The property is about 80 miles from Denver International Airport. ACREAGE Gould Ranch consists of 2080 acres of grassland in 2 tax parcels (RO135707 and RO135706). The ranch is characterized by Badger Creek which runs the full north-south length of the property. The eastern part of the ranch lies up on a relatively flat mesa overlooking the ranch. The ranch was terraced in the WPAP era to reduce run-off erosion which greatly enhances productivity. Badger Creek is a meandering season creek that holds pools of water. The Headquarters lie near the entrance to the ranch in the northwestern corner. The ranch produces both warm season and cool season grasses making it ideal for livestock production. There are 6 wells that support the operation and one pipeline for a large steel drinker. Generally, the wells would be considered shallow with depths ranging from 38 ft to 100 ft and production from 7 15 GPM, providing more than ample water supply. There are nine pastures and several traps of various sizes that allow for rotational grazing IMPROVEMENTS Extensively improved, the ranch has solid building improvements including housing, equestrian training facility and livestock handling facilities described as follows: Main Residence built in 1979, two story + basement, 4568 sf, main level bedroom/office suite, upper level 3 bedrooms including Master Suite and 2 bathrooms, basement 1,288 sf unfinished, asphalt shingle roof.

SUMMARY Gould Ranch offers an exceptional opportunity for an equestrian/livestock production operation. A cattle operation could include a cow/calf operation, stocker, background operation as well as wintering/feeding outside livestock. The grain handling facility, while not used in the operation, has been rented to area grain farms in the past and can provide a source of outside income. The equestrian facilities are valuable from raising ranch horses to operating an equestrian training operation. An ideal setup for a purebred operator incorporating ranch horses into the sale mix. Gould Ranch incorporates good grasslands with a solid set of improvements.
