Location

Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

This ranch consists of 70 acres of lush rolling meadows studded with huge Ponderosa Pine trees. The sage brush on the slopes of the hills offers ideal habitat for grazing wildlife.

Wildlife

Elk and mule deer travel along a natural corridor through the ranch moving from bedding down in the Ponderosas to grazing in the sage flats and meadows. Black bear and turkey also frequent the pine forest areas of the ranch. Hummingbirds, Mountain Blue Jay and a variety of other amazing avian species are readily seen among the trees and landscape.

Agriculture

This ranch is a horseman’s dream with a 4-stall heated barn, multiple pastures, and a 120’x220′ outdoor arena with performance footing.

This ranch participates in an annual grazing lease with a local rancher to hold the agriculture exemption.
