Pinyon Ridge Ranch

Set in the heart of Colorado’s premier big game country, Pinyon Ridge Ranch is a turnkey 40.88-acre hunting and recreational property located in renowned Big game Unit 63. Known for exceptional mule deer and strong elk numbers, this parcel offers legitimate on-property hunting along with quick access to thousands of acres of nearby public land.

The improvements are thoughtfully designed for immediate enjoyment and future expansion. A quality-built heated shop anchors the property and includes a comfortable 1 bed / 1 bath apartment with full kitchen and laundry room. An additional multi-purpose room can serve as extra sleeping quarters, office, or lounge space.

Constructed with metal siding and roofing on a concrete slab with a full French drain system around the foundation that ties into the gutters to get all rain away from the structure, the shop reflects durability and craftsmanship. A single garage door opens to a concrete exterior apron, and decks on two sides provide the perfect space for grilling or running a smoker after a successful hunt. A wood shed and additional portable storage shed add functional storage.

For shooting and practice, the property features a covered shooting bench and established 100-yard range.

Water is a significant asset. The owners secured and installed a Fruitland Mesa water tap, delivering water to a roadside cistern that gravity feeds to the improvements with a pressure pump system in place. The engineered septic system is sized for an additional two-bedroom home, offering excellent flexibility for expansion. A prime build site sits nearby with sweeping views, and engineered two-bedroom house plans are available for a buyer wishing to build.

From the ridge, enjoy stunning vistas of the West Elk Mountains to the east and the massive tabletop of the Grand Mesa to the north.

Recreation extends far beyond the property boundaries. Within five minutes, you can access extensive Bureau of Land Management lands, and you can ride directly from the property on your side-by-side or atv. The dramatic landscapes of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park are nearby, adding year-round appeal and potential short-term rental opportunity.

The ranching community of Crawford offers Western heritage, agricultural roots, and small-town character, making this not only a hunting basecamp but a place to invest in lifestyle.

Whether you’re seeking a private hunting camp, a Western getaway, or a build-ready homesite with infrastructure already in place, Pinyon Ridge Ranch delivers.
