Double Slam Ranch
Double Slam Ranch is an expansive property formed by the unique assemblage of the Thunder S Ranch and the 3D Mountain Ranch. Encompassing 7,973 deeded acres with over 8,600 acres of BLM and state grazing allotments, this rare offering boasts nearly five miles of Yampa River frontage, 700+ acres of irrigated hay meadows, 42 CFS of water rights, dramatic terrain, excellent wildlife habitat, and multiple wells and springs.

Land

Together, this assemblage offers a remarkably diverse landscape across 7,973 +/- deeded acres, supported by an 8,065-acre BLM allotment and a 640-acre state and recreational lease. Combined, the deeded and leased lands total approximately 16,678 acres.

The property features nearly five miles of Yampa River frontage and multiple points of year-round access. Its varied terrain includes productive irrigated and sub-irrigated meadows, dramatic rimrock cliffs, expansive benches, towering ridgelines, deep cedar-studded draws, and rugged canyons. This is a true four-season ranch with year-round usability, ideal for legacy ownership and modern ranching operations.

The ranch includes 700+ acres of irrigated hay meadows, watered by flood irrigation, pivot systems, and gated pipe. These highly productive fields support livestock and attract wildlife, with 42 CFS of water rights enhancing the fertile bottomlands. Numerous springs dot the property, further supporting agricultural and wildlife needs.

From the riverbanks, the landscape rises toward Juniper and Little Juniper Mountain, offering exceptional views and cover. Historic cabins, working corrals, and ranch infrastructure reflect a strong legacy of stewardship.

With elevations ranging from just over 6,000 feet to nearly 7,000 feet, the topography provides ideal conditions for hunting, grazing, and outdoor recreation, with natural wildlife corridors and scenic overlooks throughout.

Recreation

Whether floating a wild stretch of the Yampa River, glassing for elk from a high bench, or exploring rugged draws by ATV or horseback, this ranch offers unmatched recreation. Spanning multiple units—GMU 211 and GMU 3—it offers over-the-counter elk tags (archery and rifle, private land only for 2nd and 3rd rifle in some units), and landowner vouchers for deer and antelope.

Elk, deer, and antelope frequent the property year-round, with winter and spring bringing increased populations as animals migrate from higher elevations. The ranch borders BLM lands and features multiple year-round access points, allowing for flexible seasonal use. It's also ideal for shed hunting due to its heavy winter wildlife use.

Within 90 minutes are several of northwest Colorado’s premier destinations, including Gates of Lodore, Irish Canyon, Dinosaur National Monument, Browns Park, Sand Wash Basin, and Vermillion Falls—offering endless adventure options.

Agriculture

This rare assemblage provides an exceptional opportunity for a self-sustaining livestock operation. Thunder S Ranch features over 700 acres of irrigated hay meadows and extensive water rights, supporting both hay production and rotational grazing. The 3D Mountain Ranch has historically supported seasonal sheep and cattle grazing, leveraging its 5,899 deeded acres and associated leases.

Livestock benefit from natural springs, developed wells, and direct Yampa River access. A new well supports the southern flats, and another is planned for the northwest benches to improve future operations. Historic corrals and infrastructure are located throughout the property, with room for expansion or modernization.

The Thunder S and 3D Mountain Ranches are owned by separate sellers; both contracts must be negotiated independently. All state and BLM leases require application and approval by the State Land Board and the BLM.
