Situated outside of Walden, Colorado, the Kuiper Ranch is a 2,040± deeded-acre cattle ranch featuring productive meadows, historic improvements, and expansive views of the Rocky Mountains. The ranch has long operated as a balanced hay and cattle enterprise, producing an average of 965 tons of mountain meadow hay from 778 irrigated acres. These meadows are sustained by 86.7 CFS of water rights delivered through a system of ditches. The current owners graze 200 replacement heifers and 200 cow/calf pairs in the summer, along with 400–500 bred cows in the fall.

Located in northwest Colorado near the resort town of Steamboat Springs, the ranch offers easy access via Colorado Highway 14 and is within an hour’s drive of the I-70 and I-25 corridors, providing direct routes to Denver, Grand Junction, and Colorado Springs.

Well-maintained improvements include a ranch home, historic barn, two shop buildings, a cabin, equipment shed, and chicken coops. The property is accessed by a maintained gravel county road, just eight miles from Walden.

The ranch is surrounded by the Park Range, Medicine Bow Mountains, Rabbit Ears Pass, and the Never Summer Mountains. Moose are frequently spotted, along with elk, antelope, mule deer, and migratory birds. Over 4.8 miles of Beaver Creek and one mile of the Roaring Fork meander through the meadows, offering exceptional fishing for Brown and Rainbow Trout.

Situated approximately eight miles southwest of Walden in North Park—known as the Moose Viewing Capital of Colorado—the ranch boasts abundant wildlife and miles of live water and willows. With its diverse recreation and sustainable agricultural use, Kuiper Ranch is a rare blend of natural beauty and functional land.

Whether you are drawn to its agricultural productivity, historic character, or unmatched outdoor setting, this pristine property offers a rare opportunity to experience the quintessential Colorado lifestyle.
