Description

Located in the Upper Ohio Creek Valley along a scenic byway you will find the Rockin 3AR Ranch, a small enclave completely surrounded by larger ranches, most of which have been placed into conservation easements. Previously a historic homestead, the Rockin 3 AR Ranch has been successfully operating as a hunting lodge/cabin rental for over 28 years! The property consists of two custom built, hand-peeled lodgepole pine log residences: a main residence and a guest residence along with a barn, corral & loafing shed on 5 +/- acres. In addition, adjacent to the homestead is a separate 35 acre tract with approximately 200 feet of frontage on Ohio Creek and mountain views in every direction. This tract has been the site of many beautiful weddings with backdrops such as Carbon Peak and the Anthracite Mountain Range. The main home offers a large open/living concept, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths with room to convert about 700 sf of lower area into a master suite or a TV/Game room. There is also a 1-car garage, shop area & potential walk-in freezer on the lower level. The guest residence is a 5-star Home Away 1 bdrm/1 bath log cabin just up the hill from the main home and offers a unique VRBO situation right out your back door! Because the property is county zoned, there are no covenants - the options are endless for this slice of paradise! The 35 acre tract is its own homesite and offers a person the ability to build a main home and operate the other properties as a commercial setup or possibly a family compound. Both properties have ample water rights to irrigate the high mountain meadows with 4 takeouts out of the Acme Ditch. One of the best amenities for the owners is that they have a commercial easement through 3 ranches to access 176,000 acres in the West Elk Wilderness and the famous "Castles". This easement offers the ability for guests to hike, bike, UTV, ATV, snowmobile and horseback ride up to national forest and wilderness lands. It is a private easement with a beautiful passage-way through aspens & pines with a parking area at the forest service gate to access the "Castles." The property is located is located in Game Management Unit 54, which is highly sought after for trophy mule deer hunting. Room to expand as existing septic will allow up to one more cabin to be built on main property. And, on the 35 acre parcel, an owner could build a main home with their own well and septic.
