Many species of migratory birds and songbirds happily call the ranch their summer home.

Bordered primarily by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, ranches protected by the Nature Conversancy, and large parcels, the adjoining properties offer protection and further buffering from the outside world for your privacy and seclusion.

The Four Mile Creek watershed runs through the property’s northwest corner, providing sub-irrigation to the large, lower meadows of native grasses and wildflowers. An existing stock well has been drilled on the property, and electricity is available from the maintained county road. Much of the ranch perimeter has already been fenced and gated.

Centrally located and ringed by the panoramic Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Elk Valley Ranch offers year-round access and is an easy drive from Denver, Colorado Springs, other Front Range locations and it is a scenic thirty-five-minute drive from the charming mountain ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado.

Most of the ranch remains unencumbered by access or conservation easements, which provide flexibility to craft the land into what you desire and dream. Create your own family compound by building a multi-generational retreat for lifetimes of enjoyment, or simply utilize it as an outstanding hunting/recreational escape. Take this rare opportunity to create and enjoy the sportsman’s paradise that calls to you.
