THE RANCH
Incredible riverfront property just minutes from South Fork, Colorado and Wolf Creek Ski area! This 77± acre property is located between South Fork and Wolf Creek and has over 5500 feet of private river frontage on the South Fork of the Rio Grande. There is a large boulder berm that shields the property from highway 160 providing privacy and traffic noise abatement. You will feel like you are a thousand miles from civilization, but in reality, only a short distance to amenities of a small town including medical, grocery store, etc.
The property borders the forest service public land to the west and south in game management unit 80 which is an open hunting unit (some restrictions for certain seasons). Lots of elk, mule deer, black bears, etc. Half of the property is covered with healthy pine trees on a mountain, the other half is level with interspersed mature pines. Two existing wells, electricity on property, septic system, and water rights! There is also a small boulder field with VERY large boulders on the property which may be sold or used as needed.
