Feature Property - 240 Acre Hogsback Mountain Ranch

$1,400,000

Upper Lake

Address: 13070 Road 44#G	City/ST: Mancos, CO	Zip Code: 81328
Location: Mancos	Property Type: Land	New or Resale: Resale

THE RANCH: Surrounded on three sides by 2.2 million acres of pristine San Juan National Forest lands, and at an elevation ranging between 7800 and 8200 feet, the 240-acre Hogsback Mountain Ranch is a mecca for wildlife enthusiasts and those wanting something off the grid. The terrain is rolling with several terraced meadows, tall stands of Colorado Blue Spruce, Douglas Fir, and quaking Aspen groves, while offering views of Hogsback and the La Plata Mountain range. The property is loaded with water features including the Mancos River, numerous creeks and streams, a sizable hidden lake, game pond and a series of terraced beaver ponds that hold native brook trout and serve as a water hole for the myriad of wildlife that frequent the ranch. Rich landscapes traverse the terraced alpine meadows with natural Colorado grasses and vibrant wildflowers. Game trails interweave throughout the property through a series of Aspen groves and Oak thickets into grassy meadows with plentiful live water sources such as Silver Creek and numerous smaller creeks and streams that are spring fed from the surrounding 13,000 ft. La Plata Mountains. Totally protected on the North side by a geological feature called a �hogback� that rises over 1000 feet and is near vertical with a traversable canyon hosting the middle fork of the Mancos River, this is an exceptional wildlife migratory route for elk, deer and bear as they come and go from the high mountains to the North and East. Located 35 minutes from Historic Downtown Durango, 15 minutes from the cowboy town of Mancos, and 25 minutes from Cortez, daily conveniences are only minutes away. Three airlines service Durango's La Plata County airport with over 10 daily flights to Denver and Phoenix. This ranch could be a candidate for a conservation easement, with benefits to the owner, while preserving the natural landscape for premium hunting and recreating. THE RECREATION: Recreation on this ranch is unparalleled. Choose from stellar hunting, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, cross-country, mountain biking, camping, photography and more! The possibilities are endless. Game trails meander throughout the property and exit onto 2.2 million acres of San Juan National Forest at the foothills of the La Plata Mountains. Four wheel drive trails, motorbike (enduro) and hiking trails exist that could take you north to Grand Junction (100 + miles) and/or tie into the Colorado Trail which runs from Durango, clear up to Denver. Opportunities for overnight horse pack trips, extended hunting camps or backpacking into the wilderness from the property are easy and endless. Healthy, cold, clear live water provides good water flows for a number of trout species. Good habitat exist in each of the ponds with reeds, long shoreline grasses, overhangs and log structures, perfect protection for large fish. These fish-filled private waters have zero encroachment from other anglers. THE OPPORTUNITIES: The property offers opportunities as a seasonal recreation paradise for individual owners looking o build a summer retreat, erect a unique fire tower getaway, or simply to use for camping and hunting during Colorado�s three prime seasons. Corporations could utilize the ranch by improving the access and building a retreat for staff, key members, and clients. One could also generate income by leasing the land to hunting outfitters and holding the lease as a long-term asset. This ranch could also be a candidate for a conservation easement, providing tax and other benefits to the owner.
