11,300± Acres in Gunnison County, Colorado
Presented By Pfister Land Company, LLC
ranch
The Double Heart Ranch offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, recreational activities and operational excellence on 11,300± deeded acres in south-central Colorado’s Gunnison Valley.
Unlike many Centennial State mountain retreats, the Double Heart Ranch is a fully functional livestock operation supporting an estimated 1,000 animal units and a hay base that produces 2,500 tons annually.
The ranch improvements are truly remarkable. They include a lodge designed to sleep more than 20 guests, three guest houses sited to offer privacy, and five manager’s houses spread across the ranch.
The Double Heart Ranch boasts thriving wildlife populations and outstanding fishing in over five miles of Tomichi Creek. The ranch’s landscape defines diversity with expansive meadows and riparian corridors in the lower elevations, sagebrush rangeland for grazing and timbered and aspen-covered mountain pastures.
The varied topography creates a multifaceted environment that is ideal for agricultural production and recreation. The property adjoins a national forest and connects to thousands of acres of state and BLM land for endless recreational opportunities.
The ranch is near the vibrant mountain towns of Gunnison and Crested Butte, which offer convenient commercial air service, local dining, shopping and community services, as well as access to a renowned ski area.
Location
Located 26 miles east of Gunnison in the Tomichi Valley, the Double Heart Ranch surrounds the notable landmark, Tomichi Dome, and runs along the banks of Tomichi Creek. The property is surrounded by over 1.6 million of acres of the Gunnison National Forest, BLM and state land.
The ranch can be accessed year-round from Highway 50 and County Road 887, which is a maintained gravel county road. Private and commercial air service is available in Gunnison (GUC), with routine flights to Denver, and
depending on the season, flights to Houston and Dallas. The runway is 9,400’ by 150’. Denver International Airport (DIA) is the regional hub for domestic and international flights and is only four hours (215 miles) from the ranch.
Gunnison County’s population is approximately 17,000 people. The mountain community of Gunnison, oriented around ranching, tourism and recreation, is home to a variety of restaurants, grocery stores, local shopping, community services and a hospital. The town of Crested Butte is only 45 minutes from the property and offers additional cultural, dining and recreational options.
Crested Butte Mountain Resort, known for its downhill skiing, has 121 runs. The family friendly Monarch Ski Area, featuring 54 runs, is only 10 miles east of the ranch on Monarch Pass crossing the Continental Divide.
The Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park, the Fossil Ridge Wilderness Area, and the Curecanti National Recreation Area, which is home to Blue Mesa Reservoir, Morrow Point Reservoir and Crystal Reservoir, are just a short drive from the ranch
Operations
Cattle
Historically, the ranch has supported between 800 – 1,000 cows, 120 replacement heifers and 50 bulls. In the past, calving season began in early April and calves shipped around November. The operator utilized the various leases associated with the ranch and residually grazed the hay meadows in the fall.
Hay Production
The ranch’s approximately 2,500 acres of hay meadows, located south of Highway 50 along Tomichi Creek and north of Highway 50 along Hot Springs Creek, have produced a ton per acre historically.
Water Rights and Equipment
The Double Heart has abundant irrigation water rights and substantial water rights in its two reservoirs totaling approximately 145 CFS and 988.6 acre-feet of storage water shares. These water rights ensure plentiful irrigation water for the expansive hay operation. Engineers and attorneys have researched the water rights extensively; their reports are available upon request.
The ranch has an extensive inventory of equipment that could be sold with the property.
Hunting
The ranch’s resident elk herd ranges from 500–800 head and the land supports an abundant population of trophy mule deer. To date, hunting on the ranch has been limited to family and friends, but the property is set up to accommodate an outstanding commercial hunting and outfitting operation.
Historically, the Double Heart has qualified for 16 landowner preference mule deer licenses that could be utilized as an additional revenue source for the property.
Double Heart Ranch represents a unique opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Colorado’s mountain heritage.
Improvements
The expansive 10,000± square-foot main lodge, constructed in 1992 and later completely remodeled, was designed to accommodate more than 20 guests. The commercial kitchen and expansive dining room connecting with the main living room allow for catering to large groups.
The lodge encourages gathering in a variety of spaces including a spacious living room, a billiard room, a secondary living room off the primary suite, and a smaller dining room attached to the kitchen. In addition, there is a large den and mudroom off the garage with storage and seating, and an attached three-car garage along with a separate heated shop outfitted with game processing facilities and a commercial refrigerator and freezer.
The ranch features three distinctive guest houses, each offers comfort and privacy within a short distance of the main lodge. The first is a spacious 4,500 ± square-foot, three-bed/threebath two-story home with a grand living room featuring a rock fireplace, a stately kitchen and an upstairs loft, complemented by a two-car garage with an adjoining mudroom.
The second guest house is a 3,850± squarefoot, single-level stucco home with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a central living area that offers expansive views of Waunita Park. The third guest house is a 4,300± square-foot, two-story cabin-style residence that includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a vaulted living room with an open-concept kitchen and dining
area, an upstairs loft, and an attached game room with a secondary living space.
This array of well-designed residences provides the foundation that allows the Double Heart Ranch to be used as a family compound or reimagined as a private or corporate retreat.
The property also includes four operational headquarters—Hot Springs, Pleasant View, Needle Creek and a location with the main shop and livestock facilities north of Highway 50. Each one is strategically located to ensure the ranch’s extensive operations function efficiently and effectively.
The Hot Springs Improvements feature a manager's home, barn, equipment storage, and corrals along County Road 887, with potential for expansion under a conservation easement. The Pleasant View Improvements, south of Highway 50, include a well-maintained 2,000± squarefoot manager's home with extensive farmstead facilities such as corrals, barns, livestock sheds, and equipment storage.
The Needle Creek Improvements, located on the southwest portion of the property off County Road 22, offer two modest homes, multiple shops, barns and hay storage buildings, with high fences around a portion of the acreage protecting hay ground against wildlife. Additionally, the shop and livestock working improvements on the north side of Highway 50 provide year-round access to the main ranch shop and equipment storage buildings, along with additional corrals, working facilities, and livestock scales south of the highway.
Hunting and Fishing
On this ranch and throughout the area, the wildlife and big game hunting opportunities are plentiful and diverse. Significant populations of elk, mule deer, bear, moose, antelope, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, small game and bird species thrive.
Hunters on the Double Heart can experience the challenge of pursuing bull elk that average an impressive 330 to 385 inches consistently. Occasionally, trophy-sized elk push the tape even further.
The ranch is also home to mule deer of exceptional quality, with some boasting antler measurements exceeding 200 inches. The terrain, rich forage and strategic location ensure that these mule deer thrive, making the ranch a coveted destination for those whose passion is stirred by big muleys.
Historically, this property also has qualified for coveted landowner preference mule deer tags, making it a haven for both big game and small game hunting. With its strategic location, this ranch provides direct access to thousands of acres of public land, expanding the hunting and recreational possibilities. The ranch is in Game Management Unit 551 (GMU). This area offers general elk licenses that do not require non-residents to accumulate preference points before drawing.
Tomichi Creek courses through Double Heart’s meadows, providing anglers completely private access to healthy populations of brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout, from both banks. In addition, Hot Springs Creek flows through the property on the north of Highway 50.
The area’s fishing and live water recreation is almost limitless with the Gunnison River, Taylor River, East River and the gold-medal Arkansas River. With this combination of powerhouse water, opportunities to land quality trout abound. Nearby Blue Mesa Reservoir is also known for its kokanee salmon population.
Conservation
Approximately 1,200± acres, just a small portion, of the Double Heart’s 11,300± acres are impacted by conservation easements. The first easement, covering 320 acres on the south side of Highway 50, is held by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and permits hunting, fishing, farming, grazing and recreation. It also allows for the repair, replacement or addition
of improvements, including a new single-family residence and agricultural buildings within a 5-acre building envelope.
The second easement, spanning 900 acres along County Road 887 and Hot Springs Creek, is held by The Nature Conservancy to protect Gunnison sage-grouse habitat. This easement allows for the replacement of existing improvements and the construction of new ones on a 40-acre parcel outside the protected area. Despite these easements, the majority of the ranch remains unencumbered for construction, development and further conservation measures.
Conclusion
The Double Heart Ranch does it all from producing livestock and hay to trophy big game and rod-bending trout to delivering stunning scenery and the best of mountain living. With abundant water rights and easy access to vibrant mountain communities and world-class skiing, the Double Heart Ranch represents a unique opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Colorado’s mountain heritage. °

America—and many other countries—are urbanizing at an unprecedented rate. In Texas, for instance, it is anticipated that 80 percent of the state’s population will live in cities by 2035.
As more people congregate in sprawling cities, the impact extends beyond the escalating demand for natural resources. The physical and mental health of humans are affected in ways scientists are just beginning to understand. Children are particularly vulnerable.
In the early 2000s, research emerged showing that children were spending less time outdoors and more time with media; at the same time childhood obesity rates were increasing at an alarming rate. Within a matter of one generation, our society was radically changing, and sedentary, virtual interactions were replacing outdoor play. In 2005, Richard Louv published his seminal book, “Last Child in The Woods: Saving Children from Nature Deficit Disorder” that spotlighted the issue and launched a grassroots movement to address it.
At the urging of Texas legislators, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department took on the challenge of getting children outdoors. Those initial efforts by the agency and a wide-ranging group of stakeholders were incubated for a decade and grew into the standalone non-profit Texas Children in Nature Network (TCiNN).
Today, TCiNN is a grassroots network of over 900 partner organizations and individuals who are working together to connect children and families with nature in Texas. Each partner brings unique perspectives and solutions to the network, while working cooperatively to create synergy and results. The pioneering program is being emulated across the nation.
I sat down with Sarah Coles, TCiNN’s Executive Director, to discuss the importance of getting children outdoors.
1
What are the benefits of getting children into the outdoors?
SC: The unplanned play that unfolds organically when kids are outside brings a host of physical, mental, emotional and cognitive benefits. When children are engaged in free play, they are forming connections between their brains and bodies that provide the basis for balance and motor skills while also developing physical strength and problem-solving skills. Free play is active, so it burns calories and helps regulate weight and encourages deep sleep.
For people with ADD or mental health challenges, nature provides the backdrop for self-soothing and prompts our brains to release chemicals that lift mood and calm anxiety. Group free play teaches social skills, negotiation, leadership and cooperation.
Because we evolved as part of nature, the outdoors is our learning laboratory.
One of the first times we, as a society, became aware of the impact on nature and children was at the beginning of the 20 th century as the Industrial Revolution picked up steam. Families moved from farms to cities. City leaders determined that children needed places to play, and the first playgrounds were born.
If you’ll notice, traditional playground equipment mimics the shapes of trees, logs, steep banks and other natural features to engage kids in physical activities. When children perform daredevil stunts at the top of the monkey bars, they are expressing the innate drive to develop the part of the brain that is developed when youngsters climb trees.
Interestingly, playgrounds are coming full circle and builders are using natural materials like logs to create the play equipment.
2
What do kids lose if they are denied time and play in nature?
SC: Children without access to nature can miss developmental milestones. When kids are scrambling over rocks, balancing on tree limbs or walking on uneven surfaces, they’re engaging their bodies and minds to develop abilities that have long been crucial for human survival. When kids are free playing those abilities develop without specific effort, when they are not climbing trees, sliding down muddy banks and zigzagging through fallen logs, these skills must be consciously developed.
Researchers are seeing deficits in things such as depth perception and balance. Occupational therapists are being called in to remediate the shortfalls that have been created because many children now sit and stare at screens instead of careening around the park or backyard.
One occupational therapist who I work with has purchased acreage and moved her practice outdoors. She gets the kids back on track by letting them play on tree trunks, rocks and logs and incorporating that into her practice.
At the risk of repeating myself, the entire body is engaged in natural play. Sometimes you’ll see children sitting still outdoors with their tongues lolled out. It looks funny to adults, but it’s a signal that the child is thinking through an experience and the entirety of their bodies and minds are engaged. It’s an essential type of learning that can’t be replicated easily.
3
What are the barriers to getting children outdoors?
SC: There are several barriers, but arguably the biggest is access. In most towns and cities, the number of people far exceeds the amount of green space available to explore. For us Texans, the problem is amplified because 95 percent of the land is privately owned, so there is a very limited amount of parkland.
TCiNN is engaged with cities, towns and schools to make the most of the land that exists within their boundaries. For instance, we’ll work with a city’s water department to develop the riparian areas along streams and creeks as parkland. Libraries can be prime places to create green spaces so kids can read and play.
A second challenge is ensuring that outdoor space is distributed across a city and
not just consolidated in one small area. We’re working with the Trust for Public Land on an initiative called 10-Minute Walks. The idea is that we should strive to have a park or somewhere green that people can walk to within 10 minutes, which translates to about a half a mile.
The third challenge is finding and committing the time to go outdoors. For kids to get the physical, mental and cognitive benefits of deep play, a state where they become so submersed in play that the rest of the world including parents ceases to exist in their periphery, it takes about 45 minutes. Achieving deep play takes a chunk of time, and while children don’t have to experience deep play every day, they do need it regularly.
We’re working with Texas Christian University and the state’s public-school systems to figure out how more outdoor play time can be incorporated into the school day without taking away from instruction time.
Being outside for less time still packs powerful health benefits. The sun provides Vitamin D, fresh air helps to improve our digestion, blood pressure, heart rate and immune system. Even the leaves emit a compound that reduces anxiety and cortisol levels. To get the basic health benefits such as these only takes 120 minutes per week or 17 minutes per day.
Seventeen minutes a day is doable, beneficial, achievable and something worth scheduling into our days. Even better, parents could use it the starting goal for breaking the cycle of busyness in their households.
What is your best advice for adults who are wanting to successfully introduce the children in their sphere to nature and outdoor activities?
SC: I’m going to give you a personal example of what not to do. My parents made it a point for our family to get outside together. And even with all their experience, they set up a 25-mile mountain bike ride for us when I was in the seventh grade. I wasn’t thrilled about going to begin with, but the marathon ride ended up with me crying in a mud puddle. It was the last time I ever went mountain biking.
Instead of going big, especially in the beginning, start small. Make it manageable. Make it fun.
Every day we have prompts on our Instagram account for family-friendly nature walks that can be done anywhere. Nature can happen in your neighborhood. We also offer other idea starters and resources on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
When kids are scrambling over rocks, balancing on tree limbs or walking on uneven surfaces, they’re engaging their bodies and minds to develop abilities that have long been crucial for human survival. 4
Seek out planned activities like those offered by our partners that include museums, park departments, non-profit organizations. Sometimes it’s easier just to show up and enjoy activities that someone else has planned because it really takes the pressure off.
And keep at it until you find things that you and your kids enjoy. It may take some trial and error. Outdoor experiences are not-onesize-fits-all and different activities appeal to different people. A colleague’s favorite activity is reading a book sitting under a tree, while I’m a walker.
5
Although you are a Texas-based organization, can adults from different parts of the country contact TCiNN for resources and reach out to in their own states?
SC: Absolutely. When people ask what I do, I tell them that I’m a professional matchmaker—and I’m only half joking. A big portion of my job is connecting people with resources, organizations and other likeminded individuals.
Email me at scoles@texaschildreninnature.org or call me at (512) 434-0815, and I’ll do what I can to help you get children in nature. °
