Cochetopa Dome Ranch

Descriptions

This Colorado Ranch for sale is located 35 miles Southeast of Gunnison and provides the ideal conditions and amenities to be a long term, self sustaining property. It is the ultimate "bug Out" property.
While easily accessed from Colorado highway 114 year around, the ranch enjoys a very private setting. Bordered on three sides by either National Forest or BLM land this 1600+/- acre ranch merges nicely into seemingly endless mountain terrain. Included with the sale of the ranch is a small BLM grazing permit to augment the excellent grazing of the ranch.
The ranch sits at one of the highest locations in the area offering views in all directions.

Land: The 1600 +/- contiguous acre ranch is fenced and cross fenced and will support approximately 150 cow/calf pairs.
This ranch has extensive water resources. With 13.6 CFS in ditch water rights, the ranch currently has 300+ acres in grass hay production. Additionally, there is a 500 gpm artesian well on the ranch.
This artesian well could provide adequate drinking water for dozens of people or even be harnessed for hydro power.
West Pass Creek passes through the entire ranch feeding three lakes and creating a fishery for brook trout in both the creek and lakes.
Recreational opportunities abound on and near the Cochetopa Dome Ranch. Deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, and bear all frequent the ranch providing some outstand big game hunting. To expand the big game hunting, easy access is available to the adjacent public land.
In addition to the fishing available on the ranch the Los Pinos and Cochetopa Creek State Wildlife fishing area is just down the road.
Improvements: The ranch headquarters feature a three bedroom log home. While entirely off the grid the ranch is powered with an excellent solar power system as well as a diesel generator. Additional improvements include a large insulated steel shop, and old school building and old stage stop.
There is plenty of room at the ranch headquarters to construct a series of green houses to provide a self contained food supply.
This Colorado Ranch for sale offers everything that most people look for in a mountain ranch; great views, lots of water, and bordering public land.
