For generations, the Field family has worked this Uncompahgre Valley, irrigating with UVWUA water, putting up hay, and raising sheep, a livestock tradition that helped build the Montrose area. Today, they are among the last families in Montrose still raising sheep. As the city grew, that growth reached their doorstep. The same ground that carried the family’s farming legacy now sits inside city limits, with mountain views, water, and a clear path to development. This is a chance for a developer or builder to carry the story forward with neighborhoods and open space that honor the land and the family who stewarded it. A multigenerational farm, an annexed address, and the next chapter of Montrose.
Rare opportunity to acquire 155± contiguous acres already annexed into the City of Montrose. The most time-consuming step in Western Slope land development is complete, giving a developer or land investor a direct path to zoning, planning, and platting under the city’s modern land development code.
Positioned on the growth edge of Montrose with frontage on Sunnyside Road and 6800 Road, this legacy farm captures expansive views to the San Juan Mountains, the Grand Mesa, and the Uncompahgre Plateau—all just minutes from downtown, retail, and Montrose Regional Airport.
Master-plan a phased community, partner with builders, or hold in the path of growth. More than land, this offering delivers in-city entitlement potential, water rights, and lasting value—an authentic opportunity to shape the next chapter of Montrose.

Water Rights & Agricultural Heritage
Field Ranch Development is a legacy property with deep roots in the Uncompahgre Valley’s farming history. It is offered with Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association (UVWUA) water rights and the ditches, laterals, and headgates that deliver them. In a region where water is increasingly scarce, irrigation rights are a meaningful asset for open space, landscaping, and community irrigation planning.

Broker’s Perspective
“Montrose is where I call home and is a great place for families, retirees, and those looking for adventure. We have great amenities for the size of our town and access to alpine or desert all in the same day. That appeal brings a diverse group of people relocating to Montrose that offers investors a great opportunity to invest in our town. Once you’re on this property you can see the vison this land offers for a quiet subdivision with great mountain views on the edge of town.”
