4947 County Road 19, Fort Morgan, CO 80701

Property Description

Contiguous land at this scale doesn't come along often. This 1,667.7 acre Eastern Colorado ranch sits right at Twelvemile Corner, just 20 minutes south of Fort Morgan making groceries, schools, medical care, and everyday essentials an easy drive away. A stretch of blacktop road extends down County Road 19 between the four parcels that make up the total acreage with dirt roads around the rest. On the east side of CR 19 sits ~560 acres with ~1,107 acres extending on the east side all the way to CR 18. For decades, this ground grew dryland wheat. Today 735 acres are enrolled in CRP through 2030, so the land earns income from day one to offset the holding costs. The CRP for the other 932 acres has expired and is already planted with established grass, free to use however you'd like. Run cattle, bring back the wheat, or try a different crop. Need a place to work from? Just off the road, you'll find a roughly 100x40 ft quonset with power and a concrete floor, four grain bins, and a storage shed, along with a permitted well approved for livestock and domestic use. A charming 80x24 ft old wood barn marks the southern boundary. Several wide draws provide wind cover for animals and the land's topography offers areas of seasonal surface water in non-drought years. Neighboring properties have wire fencing, but there is no fencing on this land currently. The Ag zoning also allows for solar, wind, and battery storage through Morgan County's Special Use process, or potentially subdivide into 35 acre lots. The oil wells on the land are already in Colorado's Orphaned Well Program (OWP), which handles plugging, equipment removal, and surface reclamation. With Brighton 1 hour away and Denver International Airport 1.5 hours away, this ranch puts space and convenience within reach. Want even more room? The same seller is also offering the neighboring 320 acres (two parcels) and 480 acres (one parcel), for a grand total of 2,467.7 acres and seven parcels in all.
