Cedar Point Ranch
Cedar Point Ranch is located just minutes outside of the charming town of Mancos, Colorado.

The ranch offers water rights with 0.50 cfs in the East Mancos Highline Ditch and 50 acre-feet of Jackson Gulch Project Water allocated to the property by the Mancos Water Conservancy District, and several acres of ponds for water storage during the slow runoff season. The over 40 acres of lush, irrigated fields offer two cuttings a year and roughly 2-3 tons of hay to the acre. The ranch is mainly irrigated by side rolls making for highly productive ground being sustainable for up to 55 elk.
Cedar Point Ranch has impressive improvements. A gorgeous 4,119 square foot Swedish Cope log home with tongue and groove vaulted ceilings, radiant in-floor heat, kiva style fireplace, and several gas stoves throughout the home. The home offers 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, with 2 guest bedrooms on the main floor, the primary suite and a guest bedroom on the 2 level, and a guest bedroom on the lower level. An open concept living is offered on the main floor accented with a beautiful antler chandelier. The home also has a 2 car attached garage. A nice 1,716 caretaker/guest house is also included on the property. Several outbuildings, barn, side rolls, hydraulic squeeze chute, and corrals make for a great working facility for a turnkey cattle/elk operation.
Located in Game Management Unit 73 which is known for monster mule deer, several deer in the 200 range all the way up to 230 have been seen within miles of the ranch. GMU 73 has approximately 27% public land and a majority is hard to access with being landlocked by private ground and is in one of the most strategic areas for migrating mule deer off Mesa Verde National Park. This unit offers over-the-counter elk tags and the property qualifies for landowner tags yearly.
