TBD HWY 5 , Meeker, CO 81625(Garfield County)

For the first time, the Piceance Creek Unit of the incredible 40-Mile Mountain Ranch is available as a standalone tract! Spanning over 1,450 acres between Rifle and Meeker, this expansive property offers year-round access from multiple points along Highway 13 and County Road 5.

Over-the-counter elk tags are available for multiple seasons, along with spring and summer turkey tags. While deer tags are draw-only, the ranch qualifies for multiple Landowner Preference Program tag applications. A significant benefit of owning this tract is the direct private road access to tens of thousands of acres of nearly inaccessible BLM land, offering unparalleled hunting and recreational opportunities.Sitting at approximately 7,200 feet in elevation, the lower portions of the ranch feature live water from Piceance Creek, as well as multiple springs, seeps, and ponds. These water sources nourish lush hay meadows, heavy sage flats, oak thickets, and pinon pines. As you move west and south, the terrain transitions into steeper, more rugged areas with tall Ponderosa Pines along the high ridges, offering stunning views over multiple drainages. The private roadway provides access to the top ridges, sitting at over 7,800 feet, and connects to hundreds of miles of BLM roads, granting access to vast sage mesas, aspen ridges, and expansive pine stands with multiple creeks running through the bottoms.The ranch offers fantastic grazing opportunities, with abundant live water, grasses, and cover supporting a moderate year-round herd. Additionally, a wonderful building site sits just off County Road 5 on the northern edge of the ranch. The site includes an old homestead with power already onsite and multiple usable outbuildings. While the historic home is in disrepair, it provides a picturesque setting for building your lodge, cabin, or RV site.Don’t miss this chance to own an incredible ranch with limitless possibilities for hunting, recreation, grazing, and development.
