Taylor Canyon Ranch

A Developer's Dream: Infrastructure, Opportunity, & Privacy
Taylor Canyon Ranch presents a visionary developer with a truly unique opportunity in the sought-after Pagosa Springs region. This sprawling property boasts over 50 secluded micro-valleys, promising future homesites with exceptional privacy unlike anywhere else in Southwest Colorado. The groundwork for a successful development is already in place: underground power, a 6" PAWS water main, located in the fire district, and year-round access on a county-maintained road ensure a streamlined process. Bordering an existing 5-15 acre development highlights the potential for a shared ranch concept or similar venture, with neighboring comps between $22k and $72k per acre substantiating the investment potential.
Conservation Potential
With Taylor Canyon currently free from a conservation easement, it presents a unique opportunity for landowners. The most significant change would be the limitation on land development. In this scenario, both Colorado and the federal government offer financial incentives to maintain your ranch as it is. Conservation easements in and around Pagosa Springs, Colorado, are highly sought after for their environmental and agricultural advantages.
From a financial perspective, these conservation initiatives are typically backed by various funding sources, including federal, state, and private contributions.
Ultimately, the conservation easements in Pagosa Springs and its environs are not just about the financial benefits they offer. They are significant in preserving the region’s environmental and agricultural legacy. By engaging in these efforts, you are ensuring the financial stability of your land and contributing to the preservation of a heritage that we can all take pride in.
The Legacy Potential: Water Rights, Flexibility, & Location
The ranch's restored natural beauty is only matched by its practical strengths. Senior water rights (11.5 cfs) and the absence of a conservation easement offer exceptional flexibility to realize your vision. Over 30 years of restoration efforts ensure a flourishing ecosystem.
