Majestic Elk Ranch

This 960 +/- acre incredible hunting ranch is now available. Located in Hespereus, CO just a short 30 minutes from the incredible mountain town of Durango, CO. The secret to the hunting on this ranch is that the ranch borders Ute Indian Land where the general public is not allowed to hunt, thus many of the animals reach Boone and Crocket status. Several ponds and wells are in place.

Land The ranch encompasses +/- 960 acres.  There are no unwanted improvements (like someone else’s dream mansion) to pay for.  Several ideal secluded building locations have been identified that would allow you to enjoy the incredible San Juan Mountain views but would not impact your incredible hunting.  There is currently no conservation easement but the property could be an ideal candidate for the tax minded, conservation legacy ranch investor.  The land consist of dense Juniper and Cedar trees with large open pockets that were created for food plots, there are 3 solar wells that fill the dirt ponds and water the food plots year round.  The location is ideal being just a short 30 min drive from Durango, CO,  All the land surrounding the property is large private ranches/farms, so there is no orange army interfering with your hunting and the the entire west and part of the south side is all Ute Land and the Ute Indians are known their meticulous game management.  The animals have a undisturbed sanctuary on the Ute land and then will come to the property for the water and food plots and shelter. There is documented 360 plus Elk and 180-200 plus  Mule Deer. Also the land holds  Bears, Bobcats and Lions so your hunting options have a variety of  directions. Colorado offers OTC Elk tags for 2nd and 3rd rifle  (always check regs) and the ranch comes with several land owner Mule Deer tags (3/5 per year. ) The land has not been hunted hard in years so the game is literally everywhere and with just a few minor improvements to the land and it would just an absolute honey hole with an ideal location. The land currently only has had a handful of hunters over the last several years as the owner lives in Africa, however he does sell his tags  for (Elk and Mule Deer) all other hunts Lion and Bear could also be sold or used yourself.  The way the land sits its ideal for the archery hunters while also the large open spaces makes for great big game long rifle / muzzle loader hunting.  Also being directly off an year round maintained road this prime hunting property has  easy access year round with only one way and one way out and is gated.

Improvements 3 ponds and 3 solar wells in place.
