All the natural beauty, terrain, and habitat only add to what this region offers future owners. The ranch gate sits roughly 20 miles from downtown Pagosa Springs, one of Colorado’s best up-andcoming recreational communities. Pagosa Springs offers the un-equaled natural hot springs, worldclass powder skiing days in the deep snow of Wolf Creek Ski Area, shopping, medical, great restaurants, festivals, hot air balloons, golf, and cool summer temperatures. All of these are accessed easily by car as well as by air. Durango International Airport, 45 minutes to the west, supplies access from anywhere, and in Pagosa Springs is the world-class private 8,100’ foot runway and FBO of Stevens Field.
When it comes to western Big Game Hunting, few properties offer the quality of hunting with the proximity to lifestyle benefits. With the ranch’s natural terrain, numerous drainages, and exceptional habitat, the ranch attracts and holds the resident and migratory big game populations that call GMU 771 home. The exceptional location starts with protected access off year-round maintained County Road 700 and is coupled with an elevation change on the ranch starting at 7,200 feet to a peak topping 8,400 feet, surrounded by a high alpine plateau.
The natural habitat and terrain of this ranch enhance these big game species to both come to and stay on the ranch. Located in historic migration corridors, the ranch hosts an outstanding variety of game species and numbers. It is easy to understand why with these benefits the Pagosa Springs Ranch offers some of the best game hunting GMU 771 has to offer.
