OLD COW TOWN RANCH - SAGUACHE, COLORADO

LOCATION
The Old Cow Town Ranch is an authentic reproduction of an 1880’s Old West town. The Ranch is nestled in a beautiful horse-shoe shaped rim-rock valley in the mountains of south central Colorado and is adjacent on three sides to public lands managed by the Rio Grande National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management (totaling 2 million acres). Access to this secluded ranch is approximately 14 miles west of the town of Saguache, Colorado via Colorado Hwy 114 and 1 mile of gravel county road. Gunnison is located 60 miles northwest of the ranch and is the nearest commercial airport. Elevation on the ranch is approximately 8,500 feet.

PROPERTY
This one-of-a kind 320± acre property is spectacular. It is well suited as an equestrian facility, corporate retreat, trophy hunting and recreational ranch, cattle operation or many different variations of a guest facility. Some of the highlights included are two horse barns totaling 22 stalls, a 120’ x 220’± outdoor roping and riding arena, a large Greenhouse, Dance Hall and a pond. The perimeter is fenced and some cross fencing is in place. Of the 320± acres, 60± acres are in lush meadows and pastures watered by the seasonal Mill Creek and Harence Irrigation Ditch.
