Property Description

Spring Gulch Ranch is a rare opportunity to own one of northwestern Colorado's premier hunting and agricultural properties. Ranches of this quality rarely come to market, offering exceptional elk hunting, productive cattle operations, abundant water, and endless recreation across 2,200 deeded acres and 2,340 total acres. Spring Gulch Ranch is built for elk. The ranch supports a healthy resident herd while also sitting along multiple migration routes used by elk from Colorado’s famous White River Herd—the largest elk herd in the state. All with easy-to-draw and over-the-counter tags in well-known GMU 13. The ranch is also home to mule deer, black bear, mountain lions, bobcats, grouse, ducks, sandhill cranes, and numerous other bird species that frequently use the property throughout the year. Two cabins overlook a large hay meadow. The main home offers 2,902 sf with three bedrooms and an unfinished basement, while the historic guest cabin provides 1,288 sf with two bedrooms and a loft. A large equipment shop and included ranch equipment help support the operation. Over 5 miles of buried water pipeline system feeding livestock tanks, and ponds provide reliable water across the ranch. Approximately 100 acres of hay ground, multiple fenced pastures, and abundant water support good grazing throughout the ranch. Endless outdoor recreation including horseback riding, hiking, ATV and UTV trails, snowmobiling, fly fishing, and exploring thousands of acres of nearby public land. Located near Craig, Colorado, Hayden Regional Airport is just a short drive away with commercial flights to major cities, and Steamboat Springs is only about an hour away for world-class skiing, dining, shopping, and year-round recreation. Whether you’re looking for one of Colorado’s premier elk hunting properties, or a place to build family memories this is an exceptional combination of wildlife, water, agriculture, scenery, and recreation that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
