Poitry Canyon Trophy Elk, Mule Deer and Cattle Ranch

In most states, the +/- 4643 gorgeous acres, accompanying the 7-mile long Poitry Canyon and surrounding mesas, would easily qualify as a state or national park. Kept in secluded, private ownership for decades as a seasonal working cattle ranch and world-class trophy hunting property, there is currently not a comparable ranch.

Land Available in its current state as off-grid, free of improvements, end-of-the-road status, with 5 solar wells, fencing, cross-fencing, working pens, numerous year-round springs (with perch and bass), Poitry Canyon Ranch could also be enhanced with one of two adjacent properties that just hit the market.  These adjacent ranches come with improvements and power.  (See Hidden Gem Ranch and Country Cabin Elk & Cattle listings.)

Recreation Hunting

A complete end-to-end road system (+/-20 miles) with approximately half being accessible via a pick up truck and half in a side-by-side.  The ranch has been seasonally grazed by a nearby cattleman, keeping the ranch in ag tax status.

Being located in the heart of Unit 136 of the Plains Elk Units provides for the most liberal elk tags in the country with a 5 month season (September 1-January 31).  Hunters can purchase unlimited  tags, per hunter, in a single season, either sex, and weapon of choice, including rifle.   300+ trophies are taken annually, with monster mule deer and an occasional whitetail and pronghorn.  Plains bear are abundant, tags are over-the-counter (September 2-November 24) with an excellent Merriams turkey population and the occasional mountain lion.  Hunting rights convey for 2025 season.

Agriculture Poitry Canyon Ranch has no easements of any type, but would make for an ideal candidate for a conservation easement.   The state of Colorado has inquired about purchasing the ranch as it borders their adjacent Chancellor Ranch.

History The ranch was definitely a desired neighborhood for Native Americans with water, game and cover.  Keep an eye out for pictographs.

Numerous locations abound for building sites with power are within one mile and numerous water wells are already on the ranch.

Location Located approximately 55 minutes to I-25 and the Perry Stokes jet capable airport of Trinidad, CO and within a 3 hour drive to Denver and approximately 3.5 hours drive time to Amarillo, TX.

Most sportsmen will never set foot on such a property, mostly viewed only by astronauts.  If a hunting ranch investment is in your future and your vision is what dreams are made of, call or email today for additional information and your qualified showing.
