Corset Ranch

Rio Grande County

The Corset Ranch covers 600 acres near Del Norte in Rio Grande County. It was purchased from Peter Eschofen in 1895 by Duncan Colville, who, in turn, passed it on to his son Alex. Today, it is operated by Duncan's grandson, David G. Colville, who raises cattle as well as alfalfa and Coors barley. The Colville family is also receiving the historic structures award for having preserved several historic buildings including a couple of original log structures.
