2,360 Acres in Model, CO - $1,800,000

The South Apishapa Ranch provides discerning buyers with a fantastic opportunity to acquire a rare mixture of an iconic and historic Southeastern Colorado grazing ranch with the habitat necessary to support both the livestock and all the varieties of wildlife that call this ranch home. The ranch is comprised of 2,360 deeded acres and is the ideal setting for a wide variety of wildlife species. The ranch provides critical habitat for large game, including mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Predators, including coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, and bears, can be found here, as well. Other wildlife species common to the area are rabbit, turkey, scaled quail, and dove. This diverse wildlife population makes the ranch an attractive location for hunting enthusiasts. The ranch also offers potential for economic benefits through hunting leases, in addition to its current cattle grazing lease, or an opportunity to run your own cattle on the land. The property is sufficiently deeded to apply for landowner tags, which helps create more value through hunting. The ranch adjoins the Apishapa State Wildlife Area, which adds an additional 7,935 acres of wildlife habitat with permitted public access, enhancing the total hunting potential of the ranch. The Apishapa River, a seasonal tributary, flows through the ranch's canyon bed but is dependent on precipitation and runoff conditions.
