About this home
Elk Spring Ranch Located in Colorado's Game Management Unit 711, this hunting ranch offers quality wildlife habitat, multiple water sources, and the opportunity to own a productive recreational property in one of southwest Colorado's premier hunting areas. GMU 711 has earned a reputation for producing trophy-quality mule deer and also supports healthy elk populations, making it a destination for hunters from across the region. The mix of open country, canyons, native grasses, and piñon and juniper trees creates excellent habitat for elk, mule deer, turkey, and other wildlife throughout the year. The ranch is adjacent to a landlocked 40-acre Bureau of Land Management (BLM) parcel, creating an additional buffer along the property boundary and helping maintain the secluded feel of the ranch. Water is one of the property's greatest assets. A natural spring on the southwest end of the ranch is a rare feature for this area and provides a dependable water source for wildlife year-round. The property also includes a permitted well, seasonal water, and several ponds that may be filled with water available for purchase through the Dolores Water Conservancy District (DWCD). Buyers should verify water availability, costs, and requirements directly with DWCD. Historically used for dryland farming, the ranch has transitioned into productive wildlife habitat over the years. The combination of water, forage, and cover creates the type of ground that attracts and holds big game while offering plenty of room to hunt, camp, hike, ride, or simply enjoy everything the property has to offer. Power is nearby, and domestic water is available near Highway 491 with potential tap availability, providing options for future improvements while preserving the ranch's recreational appeal. Based on the acreage, the property should qualify for Colorado's Landowner Preference Program (LPP). For qualifying landowners, participation in the program may improve the opportunity to obtain deer hunting licenses, including mule deer tags. Buyers should verify eligibility, application requirements, and program details with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Properties with this combination of habitat, water, and location in GMU 711 are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're looking for a private hunting ranch, a recreational retreat, or a piece of Colorado land to hold for future generations, this property offers the habitat, water resources, and hunting potential that make it a rare opportunity in southwest Colorado....
