At 3,526 deeded acres, The Porter Ranch is one of the last large acreage ranch parcels between Aspen and Rifle. A historic legacy ranch, the Porter Ranch was founded in 1880. It offers excellent hay production, an engineered high-pressure irrigation system, its own dedicated 20-acre reservoir that is over 60 feet deep, two large ponds, and 1,175 acre feet of deeded water rights. It is located only 11 minutes from New Castle's I-70 exit. The Porter Ranch offers outstanding hunting for elk and trophy mule deer and has produced bucks scoring 220-240 inches. The ranch has modest improvements, including a 2017 4-bedroom modular home, cattle working corrals, and large hay barns. Otherwise it is a blank slate for the new owner to build spectacular improvements. Views from the ranch are outstanding. Elevations range from 6,400 feet to 7,400 feet in elevation, making for a pleasant year-round climate. The ranch is capable of running about 300 cow-calf pairs on an annual basis. The ranch typically produces over 1,000 tons of hay a year, but has historically produced up to 2,000 tons a year. The Porter Ranch has several potential uses, including land banking, a high-end development project, or simply a family legacy ranch to provide excellent lifestyle, recreation, and hunting.
