The Sinbad Ranch, a 1,954-acre turnkey ranch in western Colorado and southwest of Grand Junction, is on the market.

LIV Sotheby’s International Realty (LIV SIR) announced Wednesday that the property that straddles both Mesa and Montrose counties, is being offered for $8,845,000.

According to LIV SIR, the ranch is located near the scenic town of Gateway, Colorado and borders the Utah state line. The ranch combines dramatic natural beauty, rich frontier history, agricultural productivity, and world-class recreation — a75 miles from Grand Junction Regional Airport and 100 miles from Montrose Regional Airport.

The listing is represented by Asher Watkins of Watkins Ranch Group with LIV SIR.

“Sinbad Ranch represents one of the last truly intact, large-scale legacy ranches in western Colorado,” Watkins said. “It has everything: dependable water, strong operational infrastructure, stunning scenery, big game hunting, and all the improvements and equipment in place.”

Water, wildlife & western heritage

LIV SIR said Sinbad Ranch has the majority of water rights in the Sinbad Valley and is anchored by four natural springs, and a private lake.

The exclusive water rights support domestic use, irrigation, livestock, and wildlife. A 54-acre alfalfa field under pivot irrigation provides premium forage, and additional acreage is available for cultivation, offering substantial agricultural upside.

LIV SIR said the ranch has a carrying capacity of approximately 100 head of cattle, is fully equipped with perimeter and cross fencing, functional livestock infrastructure, and improved roads throughout the property, which supports both commercial operation and private enjoyment.

LIV SIR said the ranch was once an original stagecoach stop and has been owned and operated by the same family for over 50 years. Its historic legacy remains intact, while the ranch has been enhanced with thoughtful improvements and all equipment is included, making it a true turnkey ready.

Residences & infrastructure

The ranch features two homes:

• Built in 2017, the Main House offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main floor, including a spacious master suite, along with an updated kitchen, dining area, and large living room with panoramic views of the irrigated field — where elk and mule deer frequently graze.

The finished basement includes a large multipurpose area, four private sleeping quarters, and a full bathroom, ideal for hosting guests or staff.

• The Caretaker’s Home provides additional lodging for ranch hands or extended family.

A well-developed internal road system ensures easy access across the ranch’s diverse topography — from rolling pasture to rugged mesa.

The terrain includes a blend of pinyon-juniper forest, sagebrush flats, native grasses, and rocky canyons, offering both visual splendor and ecological diversity.

Trophy hunting & family recreation

LIV SIR said the ranch is located within Colorado Game Management Unit 60, making the property a trophy mule deer and elk hunting destination. The combination of habitat, seclusion, water and elevation creates a premier hunting experience. Additional wildlife includes black bear, mountain lion, wild turkey, bobcat, and desert bighorn sheep.

“Owning Sinbad Ranch has been one of the great privileges of my life,” ranch owner Scott Hillard said. “We’ve worked hard to maintain its integrity, and now it’s ready for someone else to take the reins and enjoy everything this land has to offer.”
