This property was designed with wildlife and hunter use in mind. Several man-made water holes and natural seeps attract and hold game throughout the year, while established blinds provide ready-to-use hunting setups. The mix of piñon, juniper, sage, and oak brush creates ideal cover for elk and mule deer. Seasonal seeps and springs across the landscape ensure a year-round water source for both wildlife and stock.

A historic trapper’s cabin on the property offers potential for restoration or primitive shelter, while a cleared site on the southeast corner provides an ideal spot for a new off-grid cabin or hunting base camp. Included in the sale is a four-season camper, offering immediate comfort during hunts and recreational stays. The land’s layout allows for camping, shooting, or simply enjoying the isolation of Colorado’s backcountry.
