Aspen Groves and Diverse Trails on Colorado Mountain Ranch for Sale
The land features a diverse ecosystem, from protein-rich oak brush to healthy aspen groves, as well as towering blue spruce and Douglas fir trees. Those who are savvy about the Colorado high country know that many aspen forests have been devastated by SADS--“sudden aspen death syndrome”--whereby aging aspen groves are full of dead trees and fallen logs. It’s an unsightly mess that also poses a significant fire danger. However, the Buckhorn Lakes Mountain Ranch was logged about 30 years ago, and the new generation of aspen trees is vibrantly healthy. Additionally, the loggers bladed a network of roads throughout the ranch, now blanketed with grass, that give easy access to all corners of the ranch. It’s simply a delight to hike, go 4-wheeling, ride horses, and hunt on this ranch with great access throughout the vast acreage. Anyone who can sit in a side-by-side UTV can enjoy this property. On the upper southeast corner of the ranch, the 4WD trail climbs up through groves of Douglas fir, mature aspens, and blue spruce to a lovely lake that is an ideal place to canoe, fish, and recreate.
Colorado Mountain Hunting Ranch for Sale with Pond, Lakes
Multiple springs on the property provide excellent water assets, feeding into three pristine lakes, two of which are stocked for trout fishing. The adjoining property on the southeast corner of the ranch is the Buckhorn Lakes Recreation Area, owned by the City of Montrose. These nearby lakes offer opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking, and birdwatching, along with scenic hikes and relaxing picnic spots.
Colorado GMU 65 Elk Hunting Ranch with Trophy Mule Deer, Bear, Grouse, Turkey, Moose
Big game hunting is a highlight at Buckhorn Lakes Ranch, with a thriving population of trophy-class elk and mule deer. Hunters can apply for coveted landowner mule deer buck tags and enjoy hunting in GMU 65, a vast hunting area renowned for its abundant wildlife and high success rates for big game. The ranch itself serves as a natural refuge for elk, which inhabit the ranch most of the year except for snowy winter months. There are many thousands of acres of National Forest lands to the east of the ranch. Public hunting pressure pushes game downhill into the ranch so that new herds of elk arrive on the ranch throughout the hunting seasons. The current owner of the ranch is a very experienced outfitter and he estimates that it’s possible to harvest as many as a dozen nice bull elk a year on the property, as well as several trophy-class bucks a year, including those scoring over 180.
Colorado Ranch Investors Have a Clear Exit Strategy with this Investment Property
The neighbors to the east of the Buckhorn Lakes Ranch are owners of 35- 40-acre mountain land parcels who maintain the road on the north side of the ranch. The current owner of the ranch has already platted several new parcels on the ranch and can provide new surveys. There are standing offers for several 35-acre parcels, but the owner prefers to sell it as an intact 782-acre parcel. It would be a simple matter of recording the new survey to start selling lots at per-acre prices far exceeding the listing price of the entire ranch. Savvy investors have the option of enjoying the ranch for decades and then recouping far more than their original investment by selling individual parcels. There are currently no improvements on the ranch, though there are several outstanding building sites. Though the road into the ranch is good, the property is accessible in the winter only by tracked vehicle or snowmobiles. Power is not available, but solar systems are known to work very well in the Colorado Rockies.
Colorado Mountain Ranch for Sale has Abundant Recreation Opportunities
Year-round recreational activities abound in the Montrose area, from winter skiing at Telluride and Crested Butte to water sports at Gunnison River, Curecanti National Park, and Ridgeway Reservoir. World-class fly-fishing can be found in the gold medal waters of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and the nearby tailwater fishery below Ridgway Reservoir. Mountain biking, 4-wheeling, ATV riding, horseback riding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing—all are either on the property or near the Buckhorn Lakes Ranch.

Large developments are planned, including a huge 6,500-acre inland port called Port Colorado and the Colorado Air & Space Port, the Aurora Campus for Renewable Energy, and the Rocky Mountain Rail Park, all of which are located just 30 miles south of this property. As well, several thousand housing units are planned in Bennett, a few miles east of those huge developments.
A new development in Wiggins, the Rodeo Dunes golf course project, is slated for 500 higher-end luxury homes. Other developments are planned for the area, which is one of the fastest-growing locations in Colorado. Such development will provide an even greater source of business for Antelope Creek and its offerings.
