The property sits at the 1400-2000 ft elevation.  The property has varied terrain, from flat pastures to rolling hills, to steep hillsides.  The property has 8 reservoirs, 6 wells, bunk house, barn, shop, and other outbuildings.  It is fenced and cross fenced.  This property would make a superior cattle ranch, hunting ranch, vacation getaway or a classic recreational property.

The ranch has an exceptional water aspect.  It contains eight ponds, six wells and many springs, and borders a large recreation lake.

The ranch has been traditionally used as a winter grazing outfit with the cows arriving in mid-November and shipped out in mid-May.  The owner states that they can run 200 cows for the season.

The new owners have recently dry land farmed 90 acres of oat and are looking to expand their plantings to 120 acres.  There is an additional 150 acres in the back that was dry land farmed years ago that could be put into production.

The ranch has good improvements with a huge 120’ x 60’ shop that was built in 2002.  The shop includes a 1 bedroom and 1 bath apartment and is of metal construction with a concrete floor.  The bunk house, built in 2002, measures 16’ x 44’ with a 16’ x 44’ deck.  It has 1 bedroom and 1 bath.  It is of wood construction.  The horse barn was also built in 2002 and measures 40’ x 44’.

This is your classic recreational ranch.  The ranch’s rolling oak grassland provides optimum habitat for big game and small game.  Trophy blacktail deer hunting, wild pig, turkey and predator hunting are some of the best around.  The East Park reservoir is now home to Tule Elk and the Rocky Mountain Elk foundation has shown interest in this property to help protect their habitat.
