Description
Red Mesa Ranch North " 400 Acres of Managed Hunting Land in La Plata County, CO The 400-acre North Tract of Red Mesa Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own a manageable piece of proven hunting ground in La Plata County, just 30 minutes from Durango and the La Plata County Airport. Located in GMU 741, the property provides over-the-counter elk tags along with one landowner buck tag per year through the Landowner Preference Program. This property has been part of a ranch managed for over 30 years with a focus on wildlife habitat and game quality. Elk, mule deer, turkey, and other species use the tract regularly thanks to its mix of rolling farmland, timber, and arroyos that provide food, water, and cover. A permitted solar well supplies water to a pond, creating a year-round draw for wildlife. The property is adjacent to the Southern Ute Reservation, well known for its world-class trophy game management. It also includes productive farmland, leased on a 75/25 crop share split, where wheat and safflower are rotated on a fallow schedule to generate income while enhancing habitat. The 400 acres are accessible and hunt-ready, with one elevated tower blind and trails allowing easy navigation on foot or ATV. With no structures in place, buyers have the flexibility to build a cabin, barn, or shop. This North Tract is offered individually, together with the 881-acre South Ranch, or as part of the full 1,281-acre Red Mesa Ranch.
