Property Description

Positioned in the heart of Southwest Colorado's premier big game corridor, this exceptional 126.5-acre mountain ranch offers a rare opportunity to own a turnkey hunting property with unmatched habitat, water, and access. Ideally located between Durango and Pagosa Springs along Highway 160 near Bayfield, the land sits directly between Game Management Units 77 and 771—an area well known for strong populations of elk, mule deer, and black bear. Bordered by National Forest on both the north and south boundaries, the property functions as a natural travel corridor for wildlife, providing direct, private access to thousands of acres of public land. Yellow Jacket Creek winds through the ranch year-round, complemented by a natural spring—two critical water sources that consistently draw and hold game on the property. The combination of water, cover, and forage creates an ideal environment for both resident and migratory wildlife. The terrain is highly diverse, featuring a strategic mix of open irrigated meadows, gently rolling terrain, and dense stands of mature ponderosa pine. Approximately 15 irrigated acres, supported by valuable water rights from John Smith Ditch #1 & #2, can be utilized for pasture or enhanced as food plots to further attract and sustain wildlife. The southern portion is fenced and cross-fenced, offering flexibility for livestock while maintaining controlled land management. Improvements are well-suited for a hunting basecamp or year-round residence. The 2,101 square foot ranch-style home provides comfortable accommodations with two main-level primary suites—ideal for hosting hunting partners or guests. Additional features include radiant in-floor heat, a spacious kitchen, multiple gathering areas, and a covered deck with fireplace overlooking the creek and meadows—perfect for relaxing after a day in the field. Supporting structures include a loafing shed, corral, metal building, and additional outbuildings for equipment and gear storage. A leveled site on the northern portion of the property offers an excellent vantage point for a hunting blind, yurt, or backcountry-style camp with sweeping views of the valley below. With a domestic well, septic, propane, electricity, and high-speed internet via Starlink, the property is fully equipped for extended stays or full-time living. No HOA and agricultural zoning provide maximum flexibility for land use and management. Combining year-round water, prime habitat, adjacency to National Forest, and a proven location within sought-after game units, this property stands out as a true legacy hunting ranch—offering privacy, accessibility, and exceptional opportunities for big game hunting in one of Colorado's most desirable regions.
