ACREAGE
The ranch boasts extensive water rights, complemented by ponds and roughly 5.5 miles of live water along Beaver Creek and Butler Creek, offering limited fishing opportunities. Multiple irrigation ditches and seasonal drainages further enhance the property’s water resources, supporting both livestock and wildlife.
With a focus on livestock production and recreational use, the land’s premier natural features are safeguarded by a conservation easement. Ranging in elevation from approximately 8,200 to 9,200 feet, the ranch sits at an ideal height for enjoying summer and fall activities in the Central Rockies. The landscape transitions gracefully from mixed timber to open meadows and mountain pastures, eventually flowing into irrigated hay fields and willow-lined stream corridors.
HUNTING/WILDLIFE
The property’s mixed timber, open meadows, and water resources provide excellent habitat for many wildlife species. The ranch is in GMU16. There is an abundance of wildlife in the surrounding neighborhood that are common to the ranch including elk, mule deer, pronghorn, bear, and moose. Grouse are also common. With current ownership and management, there has been limited hunting pressure on the ranch.
AREA/LOCATION
The ranch is located about 21 miles southwest of Walden, around 40 miles northwest of Kremmling, and around 55 miles to Steamboat Springs (via Rabbit Ears Pass). North Park and the surrounding area are characterized by a somewhat sparse population, long revered for its ranching and recreation – within a short travel distance from regional airports and services. The North Park area supports a tremendous amount of additional recreational opportunities.
