The insightful quote from the owner of Plus Lazy K Ranch, Its not my land, just my turn, best describes the thoughtful care and management of this sprawling 182-acre property in Carbondale, CO. Historically operated as a successful sod operation, this heavily irrigated property has been meticulously converted into a regenerative agriculture business over the last decade. A natural spring bisects the ranch and feeds a number of ponds throughout the property, allowing for reliable irrigation and an incredible habitat for deer, elk, birds, and other game animals alike. The ponds have also historically been stocked with trout and could be further improved for the fly fishing enthusiast. The ranch is located within 15 minutes of the charming town of Carbondale, 20 minutes from Glenwood Springs, and 45 minutes from the town of Aspen.
Carbondale has a history rooted in agriculture and its heritage is often celebrated through local events and markets. It is known for its strong sense of community and welcoming atmosphere and has numerous galleries, studios, local restaurants, and easy access to grocery stores and medical facilities. The Roaring Fork Valley is also renowned as being a hub for recreational enthusiasts of all sorts. Fishing enthusiasts travel from around the world to experience the Frying Pan, Roaring Fork, and Colorado Rivers, all which are within a 15-45 minute drive from the ranch property. Carbondale is ideally situated near some of the countrys most renowned ski resorts, offering easy access to premier destinations like Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk, and Sunlight Mountain Resort.
