PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Rooted in the storied history of Colorado's Wet Mountain Valley, Stagecoach Ranch is a one-of-a-kind legacy property delivering breathtaking panoramic mountain views, an unbroken stretch of live water, and the kind of wide-open freedom that's increasingly rare to find. The ranch holds the #1 priority water right on Texas Creek, feeding irrigated hay ground and horse pastures, with two additional wells on the 525.71 deeded acres. Two BLM grazing allotments-the Race Path at 6,522 acres and the Big Hole at 19,835 acresextend operational reach across 26,357 acres, supported by 12 BLM-numbered springs, and the Arkansas River. Working improvements on the deeded ground include corrals, cross fencing, handling infrastructure, multiple garages and storage buildings, livestock sheds, and a large heated workshop - all anchored by the historic barn featured in the film Cat Ballou. The ranch itself serves as a natural wildlife corridor, with turkey, deer, elk, and waterfowl regularly moving through the property throughout the seasons. Located in GMU 86, the ranch qualifies for over-the-counter elk tags and qualifies for Colorado's Landowner Preference Program. Residential improvements include a 3,945 sq ft main house (4 bed/3.5 bath) which anchors the operation, a 2,180 sqft Veranda House (4 bed/2 bath) with commercial kitchen and private garage, an 864 sqft Bunkhouse (2 bed/1 bath) with private garage, and a heated 696 sqft Carriage House with sleeping quarters and game room. These structures have been well maintained with meaningful capital improvements throughout, reflecting the care and pride of ownership evident across the entire property. Income streams are well-established and diverse: cattle operations across the deeded ranch and BLM allotments, hay production, short-term rentals and private events, hunting trips, and more. Paved road access, an electric entry gate, and high-speed internet infrastructure ensure the property operates as seamlessly as it looks.
