Colorado's Wolf Springs Ranch!
Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleIt’s the land where the buffalo roam. Literally. Exploring the 55,486 acres of Wolf Springs Ranch is like going back in time to experience much of what the original pioneers must have felt when encountering such vast lands, looming mountains and wide blue sky; this time safe in the knowledge that arrows won’t be coming their way. Here you can ride the land like Buffalo Bill, startle the mule deer and pronghorn antelope, and pause while you determine if that buffalo bull considers you a threat to his herd. Or, as the gentleman rancher, mosy on over to check out the breeding herd of angus cattle. If your pursuit of choice happens to be hunting, the opportunity for a trophy pair of antlers could be behind the next bush. Fishing? You bet. Fishing for rainbow, brook and brown trout is abundant on the ranch in the stocked fishing reservoirs which produce large fish weighing two to five pounds.
A sportsman’s paradise, the ranch is located on the southern end of the Wet Mountain Valley along the eastern slope of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in south-central Colorado. Wolf Springs Ranch consists of 55,486 deeded acres together with a BLM lease on 575 acres covering over 93 square miles with magnificent scenery along the eastern face of the Continental Divide. The ranch currently operates as a bison-cattle-horse ranch with over 3,370 acres of irrigate-able water rights. Well located, Denver is a three-hour drive and Colorado Springs is a two-hour drive from the ranch. The jet-accessible Silver West Airport is located 15 miles north of the ranch and features a 7,000’ x 55’ paved runway at 8,300’ elevation and offers private jet charter transportation. The ranch borders two different national forests on opposite sides including the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness area.
For living and entertaining, the ranch has a 4,116-square-foot owner’s home with six bedrooms and six bathrooms in a private setting with views across the southern end of the ranch along with three family houses, all in excess of 2,000 square feet, located west of the headquarters near Muddy Creek. The ranch has a manager’s home along with a guest house and three apartments; two in the separate horse barns and one behind the shop. Strategically located around the ranch are seven ranch-hand, equipment and livestock buildings. Ranch support facilities include vet facilities, machinery and hay storage, offices and conference room. For more information.
