TBD Wapiti Trail

Description

The Buckhorn Lakes Ranch is a 782-acre mountain hunting property located 15 miles southeast of Montrose, Colorado. The ranch offers excellent hunting for quality bull elk, trophy mule deer bucks, bear, mountain lion, turkey, and grouse. The current owner, a very experienced outfitter, estimates the ranch can produce up to 12 quality bull elk every fall. The base area of the ranch is at 8,400 feet in a thriving young aspen grove, while the ranch tops out at 9,600 feet with a jewel of a mountain lake in a spruce forest. Access is excellent throughout the ranch with a network of roads, now grown over with grass, that allow for easy travel whether by hiking, horseback ride, ATV, UTV, or 4WD. The ranch has several springs that feed three different ponds and lakes, two of which are stocked with trout. There are several excellent homesites with splendid views of the San Juans and Dallas Divide to the south. The property is off-grid and can only be accessed by snowmobile and tracked vehicle in the winter, but it's only 35 minutes to downtown Montrose during the spring, summer, and fall. The seller has already surveyed the ranch for potentially subdivision, and all surveys have been completed but not recorded. This ranch offers excellent recreation and hunting, reasonable proximity to town, and a long-term exit strategy for the savvy investor.
