THE FIELD FAMILY LEGACY: 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.
