A rare opportunity to own one of the best whitetail hunting properties in Eastern Colorado! Trophy whitetail farms on the banks of the Arkansas River are extremely hard to find, and this one has it all! Tall cottonwoods, sycamore, elm, thick Russian Olive and tamarisk trees blanket the expansive river bottom flats and meadows, creating ample cover for the many species of local wildlife, including white-tailed deer, turkey, a multitude of waterfowl species, upland game, and even the occasional elk. Thick and hearty native grasses have flourished from the lack of livestock grazing over the past 5+ years, increasing cover and forage immensely. A recently-updated domestic well provides ample water for a home or small food plot, with plenty of building sites throughout the property. The current owners have managed the property exclusively for growing giant whitetails, and the hard work has resulted in many trophy-class bucks living on the farm. The cover on the farm is absolutely incredible, as a burn in the summer of 2020 cleared out the majority of the old stagnant ground cover, creating an abundance of healthy new growth. A newer perimeter fence around the majority of the property was completed in the fall of 2020. A recent burn in the spring of 2022 has again cleared the dead underbrush, and the farm has completely greened up again and is looking fantastic. In addition to the deeded acres, this purchase also includes a 5-year hunting lease on the adjoining 335 acres of cropland to the west of the property, adding to your hunting options. Corn and alfalfa are currently planted there, drawing wildlife from all directions. This is a fantastic opportunity for a turnkey, well-managed hunting farm with amazing genetics right on the banks of the Arkansas River. Check out the trail camera section of the listing for dozens of photos of the deer herd over the past couple of years, including recent 2022 photos of some great bucks, bull elk, and more!
