Walden, CO 80480(Jackson County)

An outstanding hunting and recreation ranch for the price point, Elk Bluff Ranch features prime northern Colorado mountain country with elevations of 8,400 to 9,100 feet. This scenic 780+/- acre ranch is a superb big game hunting property, particularly for Rocky Mountain elk. A diverse mix of aspen groves and dark timber interspersed with grass meadows and sagebrush slopes provide excellent habitat and attract wildlife from surrounding public lands. There is abundant water in the form of 1+/- mile of Doran Creek, ponds and numerous springs and wallows. Large numbers of elk inhabit the ranch, especially during the rut, when it is common to hear the bugles of multiple mature bulls from either side of the bluff that forms the middle of the ranch. There are stunning views of the surrounding Park, Rabbit Ears and Medicine Bow mountain ranges from the upper elevations of the property. Significant improvements were recently completed including a new workshop/storage building and renovated existing buildings at the headquarters, a new well, new fencing and 1+/- mile of new gravel roads. The ranch borders a county road for convenient access and is approximately 30 minutes to Walden and one hour to Steamboat Springs.
