OLD COW TOWN RANCH, SAGUACHE COUNTY, COLORADO

LOCATION
The Old Cow Town Ranch is an authentic reproduction of an 1880’s Old West town.  Nestled in a beautiful horseshoe shaped rim-rock valley in the mountains of south central Colorado, it abuts public lands on three sides. The adjoining Rio Grande National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands total nearly 2 million acres of prime recreation.  Access to this secluded ranch is approximately 14 miles southwest of the town of Saguache, Colorado via Colorado Hwy 114 and then one mile of gravel road.   Gunnison is located 60 miles northwest of the ranch and has the nearest commercial airport.  Elevation on the ranch is approximately 8,500 feet.

PROPERTY
This one-of-a kind 320± acre ranch is limited only by one’s imagination.  It is well suited to be run as a guest/dude ranch, horse/cattle operation, church/ boys and girls camp, a corporate retreat, or a trophy hunting/recreational ranch.   Some of the highlights include the seasonal Mill Creek and Harence Irrigation Ditch that run thru the property; a Pond which provides water for livestock and allows pumping to main house and to Mill House for actual running streams throughout the town. The perimeter is fenced and some cross fencing is in place.  The water well on property is 140± feet deep with a 5,000 gallon holding cistern. Of the 320± acres, 60± acres are in lush meadows and pasture, with the remainder being rolling to mountainous terrain, scattered rock outcroppings, pinion, juniper and ponderosa trees. Historic remnants of the old Hoglund stage coach line consisting of the 3 cabins, built circa 1880, and the old barn occupy the ranch.  The actual stage stop is located one mile north.    

IMPROVEMENTS
A spectacular 3,500± sq. ft. log home serves as the owner’s home.  Some of the highlights of this beautiful home are a massive stone fireplace, which envelops both floors. Water flows from the “weeping wall” into an in-home stream, creating a soothing and relaxing atmosphere.  The home has radiant in-floor heat throughout.  The massive master suite has an indoor hot tub with deck overlooking the outside waterfall and pond.  Water flows from the house to the pond as a rushing stream, falling over boulders along the way.   A bit of peace and tranquility await you.
