Executive Summary

Oxbow Landing includes approximately 3/4 of a mile of Colorado river frontage, 3/4 of a mile of Interstate 70 frontage, 11+ acres across two lakes, and a total of 122 acres of property. Access is easy for large vehicles, with a short 2.3 mile drive on a quiet county road to the nearest I-70 interchange. Oxbow Landing is located in unincorporated Garfield County, zoned ''Rural''. The city of Rifle borders the property on multiple sides. There is an existing power line that comes onto the property from the north. There are several potential uses, ranging from an RV park/campground, residential home, wetlands mitigation bank, and/or recreational water activities. The best use may be to combine several of these: An RV park, cable-powered wakeboarding park, stand up paddle-board (SUP) rentals, fishing rentals, owner’s quarters, and a small wetlands mitigation bank could all be combined to generate a viable business.

Ideal Uses

This property has several potential uses, ranging from an RV park/campground, residential home, wetlands mitigation bank, and/or recreational water activities. The best use may be to combine several of these: An RV park, cable-powered wakeboarding park, stand up paddle-board (SUP) rentals, fishing rentals, owner’s quarters, and a small wetlands mitigation bank could all be combined to generate a viable business.

  • An RV Park may be possible with a Major Impact review with the county. A LOMA letter from FEMA would likely need to be obtained for this use, and it is likely that dirt would need to be brought in to achieve that. A topographical survey is available.

  • A home could be built. A LOMA letter from FEMA would likely need to be obtained to put a home closer to the river, and it is likely that dirt would need to be brought in to achieve that. A topographical survey is available.

  • Wetlands mitigation bank.

  • Recreational activities, such as boating, fishing and hunting. The lakes could potentially support cable-powered watersports (wakeboarding, kneeboarding, etc) and self powered watersports such as SUP (Stand Up Paddle-boarding) or kayaking. Turkeys frequent the property.

  • Prospective buyers should investigate potential uses with the county and other experts before making any purchasing decisions.
