Colorado Real Estate Broker Jake Hubbell

Jake Hubbell is a native of Western Colorado, born in Carbondale and raised in Marble and Crawford, small towns in the heart of the Elk Mountains. The son of an outfitting family, Jake was helping guide horseback rides at an early age. He grew up fly-fishing the Roaring Fork, Crystal, and Frying Pan rivers, hiking to high-country lakes and streams, and hunting elk in the high country.

Outstanding academic achievement at Western State Colorado University

As a high school student in Hotchkiss, Jake excelled at wrestling and started at wide receiver on the football team, yet his best achievements were in the classroom. Jake graduated high school with an Associate of Science degree and parlayed that success into the Professional Land and Resource Management (PLRM) degree program at Western State Colorado University in Gunnison. As one of the top students in the program, Jake graduated Magna cum Laude in 2017—debt free, in three years. He became a licensed real estate broker while finishing his senior year of college.

Water rights, range management, geology, accounting

The PLRM program is centered around mineral rights leasing for the oil and gas industry, with a curriculum that is also ideal for Western ranch brokerage. Jake Hubbell has studied Colorado water law, range management, accounting and finance, mineral rights leasing and acquisition, hydraulic fracturing, environmental politics, contract law, geology, marketing, and communications—all skills that come in very handy when listing and selling Colorado ranch real estate.

Excellent marketing skills—websites, drone video, photography, social media

You know how you always ask a kid to help you with your smart phone or tablet? How to use a website or fly a drone? Jake Hubbell is that kid. He is innately familiar with many new technology platforms, and uses that to help his property sellers. Jake’s drone videos have won several national auction marketing awards. His “new school” approach to real estate marketing benefits his clients with fresh ideas and disruptive technology. From targeted facebook marketing campaigns, to pin-pointed advertisements, Jake’s approach is to find buyers and create engagement.

Mountain land, resorts, ranches, hunting property, luxury homes—a family legacy

Colorado real estate broker Jake Hubbell is an outdoorsman and adventurer, hunter and fisherman. His interests lie in selling the type of properties fitting his lifestyle—ranches, resorts, luxury homes, ski properties, mountain land, and hunting property. He is an avid skier, fly fisherman, upland bird hunter, waterfowler, and big game hunter, and has a beautiful yellow Labrador retriever. Jake has the benefit of seasoned leadership, as his father, Gary Hubbell, is an experienced and well-known Colorado ranch broker and auctioneer.

Award-winning Marketing Expert and Top Agent

Jake Hubbell has quickly established himself as one of the top young agents in Colorado. Nominated for the National Association of Realtors (NAR) “30 Under 30” recognition program, Jake is known in ranch real estate circles for outstanding accomplishment not just for a young broker, but for any broker. He has been instrumental in marketing and selling multi-million-dollar ranch properties and multi-parcel auction properties. In March 2023, Jake was a co-instructor at the National Land Conference on valuing real estate with business assets included, which was most popular educational topic offered at the conference of 500 land professionals. Also in 2023, Jake was invited to the podium at the United Country national convention by UC’s President, Mike Duffy, to accept the prestigious Genesis Award for the top marketing office in the entire international franchise of over 500 offices.

Jake Hubbell–Colorado’s Youngest Accredited Land Consultant

Awarded by the Realtors Land Institute, the Accredited Land Consultant designation is one of the most prestigious designations in the entire real estate profession. Jake Hubbell is the youngest RLI member licensed in Colorado to earn the prestigious designation, which proves a higher proficiency in land sales, mineral rights, 1031 exchanges, water rights, Land Investment Analysis, and other complicated ranch real estate topics.

This is a property built for horses, for family, and for the kind of life that pulls you outdoors every season of the year. With three separate residences, productive irrigated ground, and a long history of equestrian use, the ranch delivers both lifestyle and opportunity in one of the most scenic corners of the Western Slope. Water That Works for You Water is the backbone of any working ranch, and Elk Ridge is well positioned. More than nine acres are irrigated through a combination of Cimarron and Bostwick Park water, backed by 17.20 acre-feet of Bostwick Park Conservancy District water and 0.50 shares of Cimarron Ditch Company water. That reliable supply keeps the hay and alfalfa ground productive and the gardens green, while a strong domestic well serves the homes with quality water year-round.

The 2019 modular main home offers 1,920 square feet with three bedrooms and two baths in a comfortable, modern layout. A 1992 manufactured guest home adds another 1,589 square feet with three bedrooms and two baths — ideal for extended family, ranch help, or guests. Rounding things out is a charming 493 square foot cabin with one bedroom and one bath, perfect as a private retreat or rental unit. Each building is served by propane heat, wood stoves, and its own septic system. Income Potential and Equestrian Heritage Elk Ridge Ranch has a proven track record. The property has long welcomed riders on trail rides and hosted educational retreats, making it a natural fit for an equestrian operation, agritourism venture, or short-term rental portfolio. With three homes and a setting this striking, the income possibilities are real and varied — from vacation rentals to hosted experiences to leasing the productive hay ground. Wildlife and the Western Slope Setting Few places connect you to Colorado’s wild character like Bostwick Park. Native elk and deer move freely across the property and the surrounding ranches essentially year-round, offering a daily reminder of the land you call home. Combine that with mountain views, irrigated pastures, and established gardens, and you have a property that feeds the soul as much as the bottom line. Your Colorado Ranch Awaits Whether you’re seeking a turnkey equestrian operation, a family compound with room to spread out, or an income-generating lifestyle property, Elk Ridge Ranch delivers. Come experience the space, the water, the wildlife, and the quiet beauty of Bostwick Park for yourself.

Quarter Circle A Farms — 455± Acres South of Monte Vista, Colorado Tucked into Colorado’s storied San Luis Valley just south of Monte Vista, Quarter Circle A Farms is a rare 455±-acre property that pairs productive irrigated alfalfa with one of the region’s premier waterfowl habitats. With two pivots feeding nearly 200 acres of hay on the north end and a 125±-acre flooded “Swells” wetland anchoring the south, this is a working farm and a sportsman’s retreat in one—wrapped in the kind of mountain-framed light and sky the Valley is known for. Location & Setting Quarter Circle A Farms sits in the heart of the San Luis Valley, a high-altitude agricultural basin ringed by the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan ranges and recognized as one of North America’s most important migratory bird corridors. The property lies just south of Monte Vista—home to the renowned Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge and the annual Crane Festival—placing it squarely on the flyway that draws ducks, geese, sandhill cranes, and shorebirds through the region each year. It’s a quiet, productive setting with excellent access and uninterrupted views. Irrigated Hay Production The northern portion of the farm is anchored by two center pivots installed in 2011, each sweeping roughly 270 degrees—three-quarters of a full circle—across approximately 90 acres apiece. The northern unit, known as “Circle 8,” has been in alfalfa production and can be expanded to roughly 120 acres with the addition of supplemental pond and pump capacity. The southern unit, “Circle 7,” runs seven towers across 1,298 feet plus a 32-foot end gun. Both pivots are powered by copper electrical lines and apply about 23 inches of water over a growing season. The current owner purchased the property in 2013 and developed the alfalfa program from the ground up. The result is roughly 180 acres of irrigated hay producing an average of three cuttings per year—yielding approximately 6 and 5 tons per acre across the two circles, or about 990 tons of alfalfa annually. The ground beneath the pivots is adjudicated, and the operation is well established and turnkey for an incoming buyer. Water Resources Water is the backbone of this property, and Quarter Circle A is exceptionally well equipped. Irrigation is supplied by a combination of the Commonwealth Ditch (2 shares) and multiple agricultural wells, all routed into a central 7 acre-foot settling pond from which water is pumped to both pivots. When the canal is running, ditch water and the wells fill the pond underground; the typical cycle runs the system for roughly two days, then rests and refills the pond. The property’s well infrastructure is substantial. A main well on the southern side is drilled to 1,800 feet and produces approximately 1,846 gallons per minute, complemented by a 1,000-foot well rated near 2,250 gallons per minute, an additional well allocated at 600+ gallons per minute, and a further well west of the north pivot that is currently artesian and could be converted to irrigation. The two pivots carry a combined allocation of approximately 570 acre-feet of Sub-district 6 water (approximately $35 per acre-foot). In an average snowpack year, ditch water alone is sufficient to support a cutting, while roughly 2.5 days of well water covers the Swells hunting area. (Prospective buyers should verify current well allocations and adjudication details with the State of Colorado.) The Swells — Waterfowl Habitat & Hunting The southern end of the property is where Quarter Circle A truly distinguishes itself. Known as “The Swells,” this 125±-acre flooded pasture began as a Ducks Unlimited project: in the low ground, a series of raised swells were sculpted with water-filled channels running between them—rippling lines of high and wet ground that mimic waves left in the sand. The result is prime, purpose-built waterfowl habitat. Water flows from the central pond out into these terraced areas, creating exceptional duck and goose hunting through fall and winter and outstanding bird habitat year round. The property hosts ducks and geese in abundance, along with blue heron and a wide range of other species. It has a proven track record—the area is hunted heavily and productively, including by the local Amish community, and one opening day reportedly produced a harvest of around 400 birds. The owner has also welcomed 20–30 youth hunters annually, making it a meaningful spot for introducing the next generation to the sport. In spring and summer, the same ground serves double duty as excellent cattle grazing pasture. A Rare Combination Few properties in the San Luis Valley offer this blend: established, water-secured alfalfa production with documented yields, robust and redundant well and ditch infrastructure feeding a central reservoir, and a marquee waterfowl habitat with a hunting reputation that speaks for itself. Whether the goal is a cash-flowing hay operation, a recreational waterfowl property, or both, Quarter Circle A Farms delivers on all fronts.
