Freeman Ranch

Situated near Freeman Reservoir and bordering Routt National Forest, Freeman Ranch encompasses approximately 295 acres of pristine wilderness in one of the region’s most desirable mountain corridors. The ranch enjoys convenient access from approximately a quarter mile of County Road 11 frontage. Rolling alpine ridges, lush meadows, and live water creates an inviting landscape well-suited for hunting, outdoor recreation, and future potential. Land The landscape at Freeman Ranch is defined by rolling to moderately steep alpine terrain, forming a series of gentle ridges, sheltered draws, and open mountain meadows. Vibrant stands of aspens blanket the slopes, interspersed with scattered pines that add depth and character to the hillsides, while native grasses flourish across lush meadows.

A couple ponds lie within the property, complementing the stretches of Little Cottonwood Creek and Dry Cottonwood Creek that meander through the land. These live water features enhance both the aesthetic appeal and the wildlife habitat, creating natural corridors that attract game throughout the year.

The topography offers multiple elevated vantage points with long views across surrounding hills, while softer basin areas provide an ideal environment for frequent wildlife activity. Hunting blinds are already in place, further supporting the ranch’s recreational appeal. The property’s direct border with Routt National Forest significantly expands usable acreage, offering seamless access into thousands of additional acres of public ground.

Recreation Freeman Ranch is ideally positioned for year-round recreation. Elk, deer, moose, and other native wildlife frequent the property and surrounding forestlands, making it a strong candidate for a dedicated hunting retreat. The natural mix of open meadows, timbered cover, water sources, and adjacent public land creates prime habitat conditions and consistent game movement.

Just one mile away lies Freeman Reservoir, providing additional camping, fishing, and outdoor opportunities close to home. The bordering Routt National Forest offers an extensive network of trails for hiking, horseback riding, and off-road exploration, along with alpine lakes and mountain streams known for excellent fishing.

During the winter months, the area transforms into a well-known destination for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, adding true four-season versatility to the ranch. Whether spending autumn in pursuit of big game, summer days exploring high-country trails, or winter weekends on the snow, Freeman Ranch serves as a private basecamp for it all.
