Beckwith Ranch / Seven Diamonds Ranch | Westcliffe, Colorado – $3,400,000 / $2,950,000

A unique opportunity exists to combine two neighboring ranches in Colorado’s storied Wet Mountain Valley: the Seven Diamonds Ranch and the historic Beckwith Ranch. More than forty years ago, the two properties were once part of the Clevenger Ranch, which was broken up in the 1970s. Separated only by the state highway, the combined ranches would control over 4,000 contiguous acres (fee simple and leased ground), include extensive hay production with upwards of 600 acres of irrigated ground, and control the most significant senior water rights in the valley operating on the same ditch/drainage system.  Putting the two ranches back together would unify and expand combined agricultural production on the two properties, centralize ranch headquarters improvements, while affording ownership extended resources and greater management flexibility.
