INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Zoe’s Ranch, a turnkey 40± acre horse property in the Muddy Creek Valley. This charming horse haven includes a custom three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with views of Greenhorn Mountain and the Hatchet Ranch Bluffs, with the cotton wood-lined Muddy Creek forming the northern boundary of the ranch.
The home offers single-level living at its finest, including vaulted ceilings, granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, hickory soft-close kitchen cabinets, numerous storage closets, central air, and stainless steel appliances. The Bosch dishwasher is brand new. The insulated two-car attached garage is large enough to fit a full-sized pickup.
You will discover the methodically planned fencing system outside the well-appointed home. The property has been divided into numerous pastures for rotational grazing of the well-sodded grass paddocks. Three large Cleary buildings reside on the ranch. The 48’ x 30’ shop has a concrete floor and has been used for equipment storage and repair. The two horse barns, measuring 64’ x 48’ and 72’ x 48’, offer large horse stalls and spacious runs. The stalls are adjustable, so you can set them up to meet your needs. There are currently seven horse stalls, but they can easily be reconfigured into ten stalls with their own exterior doors. A dedicated space for hay storage, feed rooms, and tack rooms is within the barns. The corral system is set up to move animals easily from barn to barn or to the round pen and arena. This pen system would work for other species and can easily be adjusted.
With an easy commute to Pueblo or Colorado City, this property has so much to offer for work opportunities, shopping, and restaurants. The setting is private and peaceful, with a lovely backyard and a gazebo perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing. Your equine friends will enjoy the accommodations as much as you will!

AREA HISTORY
In the mid-1800s, the Hatchet Ranch was homesteaded. Stage coaches and the pony express traveled across the ranch, passing through the Muddy Creek Valley. Later, the Denver and Rio Grande narrow gauge railroads built tracks through the eastern end of Hatcher Ranch. Zoe’s Ranch, within Hatchet Ranch, is on the western side of the former 21,000± acre cattle ranch.
