About This Property

Emerald Ranch is a 508-acre dream that took years to realize. Made up of over 50 mining claims painstakingly assembled by the astute owners, it represents one of the largest private USFS in-holdings within close proximity of Creede, CO. Defined by its high-country alpine setting, two homes, and western equestrian facilities, this ranch has it all. The owners lived on the ranch full-time for years and were able to raise their children there due to its year-round accessibility.

Two live water creeks, Deerhorn and West Willow, run through the property, feeding ponds and ultimately ending up in the drainage for the headwaters of the Rio Grande. Wildlife, including elk, moose, deer, and black bear, are abundant on and in the USFS around the ranch. Though the ranch is protected with a conservation easement that restricts hunting, the owner has hunted in the forest outside the ranch boundary for years. The owner intends to provide two hunting vouchers for two years to the Buyer, which may be used in the surrounding public land.

The Ranch House features 3 bedrooms/5 baths and starts with a ground floor including horse stalls and a game room suite, with the main living area on the floors above. A second residence, the Lake House, is a couple of hundred yards south of the main house and enjoys large views down the valley. Both homes are off-grid with water wells. The wonderful small mountain town Creede, CO, is only 20 minutes from the ranch driveway.

Restaurants, shops, frequent live music, and a theatre adorn Creede's main street, which welcomes tourists and locals alike. The Emerald Ranch is on the market for the first time since its creation and is seeking its next steward.
