Property Description
Flying Dog Ranch stands as a rare, immutable green sanctuary. • Unyielding Water Security: Supported by 168 shares of senior 1886 East Mesa Ditch water rights (7 CFS) and roughly 180 acres of lushly irrigated hay meadows, this ranch is insulated from the water volatility plaguing much of the American West. While other properties grapple with water calls, Flying Dog remains green, vibrant, and biologically alive. • Fire-Resilient Geography: Nestled in the dramatic, protective folds of the Crystal River Valley and Prince Creek corridor, the ranch benefits from natural topography, pristine green pastures, and active land stewardship that preserves its lush, fire-resistant microclimate. • A Sanctuary for Life: From the private river frontage along the Crystal River to the abundant resident wildlife--including migrating elk herds, eagles, and native songbirds--this is an intact, thriving ecosystem that functions as a natural fortress against the outside world's chaos. ***Now with vested approvals for a brand new 7,500 square foot residence.*** The ranch is defined by its protected, 180-degree panoramic views and absolute privacy. Bordered by conserved lands, its breathtaking vistas are secured in perpetuity. This creates a pristine natural sanctuary, evidenced by the abundant local wildlife and a resident herd of elk that calls the property home. ---- The property's extensive infrastructure is designed for a multitude of uses but is perfect for a private family compound. It includes three distinct homes, an artist studio, a private gym, greenhouses, and frontage on the Crystal River. ----- A cornerstone of the ranch's value is its significant water rights, including a senior right in the East Mesa ditch which services a high-efficiency irrigation system and a large pond. Operationally, the ranch is self-sustaining, with an existing agricultural lease that covers property taxes and maintenance, ensuring a seamless ownership transition. ----- Finally, Flying Dog Ranch West possesses a unique commercial potential. Special use permits are included for hosting up to 40 events annually within the approximately 9,600 sq. ft. barn, which has been professionally outfitted with a commercial kitchen and conference room. ----- WWW.FLYINGDOGRANCHCO.COM ------ Co-listing agents: Gabe Molnar-Douglas Elliman, Michael Latousek-Douglas Elliman, Mike Shook-Homewaters Real Estate, Joe Risi-Homewaters Real Estate
