History
Located North of Ramah and east of Kiowa in Elbert County in the high plains region was long used by Native tribes (Kiowa, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Ute) for hunting and forage in the 1800s. The area explored by John C. Fremont (1843); was part of Louisiana Purchase (1803). The Smoky Hill Trail stage stops emerged mid-1800s; Kiowa was settled in 1859 as the Middle Kiowa stage stop on Butterfield Overland Dispatch. Elbert County was formed February 1874 from Douglas County portions and was named for Territorial Governor Samuel H. Elbert and Kiowa became county seat. The Homestead Act (1862) drew settlers for ranches, logging, sawmills; ranching (cattle, sheep) and dominated the economy. Railroads arrived in the 1880s and boosted settlement, but later declined. Today it has a quiet agricultural legacy with enduring ranching heritage.

Elbert County - 29643 County Road 17/21, Elizabeth, CO
We are pleased to present Elizabeth Creek Ranch, a 957± acre ranch located just south of the Town of Elizabeth in Elbert County, Colorado. Situated within the Southeast Denver Metro growth corridor, the property offers a unique combination of scale, riparian habitat, water rights, cattle operation potential, existing improvements, and long-term conservation opportunity. Today, it’s a working ranch — productive and full of recreational appeal — but given where it sits and how the area is growing, it’s also a strong land-banking play with real upside down the road. This is a rare chance to acquire a large-scale, water-backed property. Between the ag income, the recreation, and the development potential — all backed by a surrounding ownership pattern that keeps this corner of Elbert County private and stable — it’s a compelling long-term hold.
Adjudicated water rights, alluvial irrigation wells, stock ponds
2± miles of live water via Running Creek
190± acres of subirrigated hay production
4 residential structures and extensive agricultural improvements
Located in the path of growth southeast of the Denver MSA
Adjoining large-scale ranch and conservation ownership
Five stock ponds and year-round riparian habitat
Mature tree cover along Running Creek providing natural protection and aesthetics
Improvements
Improvements include four residential dwellings, including a renovated late-1800s farmhouse; five poultry houses (approximately 180' x 32'); a dairy barn, hay barn, and additional livestock facilities; shop buildings and support structures; a processing building with two walk-in coolers; and cross-fencing with 4-strand barbed wire.
The existing infrastructure supports ongoing agricultural operations and may offer flexibility for future adaptive use.
Ranch Operations
Today, the ranch runs as a cow-calf operation and hay farm. Over the years it’s also supported egg production, poultry, dairy, and hogs — this is a property that’s proven it can do a lot.
Hay production averages 1.0 to 1.5 tons per acre across sub-irrigated meadows planted to an established grass/alfalfa mix. Water gets where it needs to go via creek, ponds, and wells, and the natural topography gives good wind protection and solid wintering conditions for livestock.
Water Resources
Water is one of the biggest reasons this property stands out. That includes 1,495.8 acre-feet per year of court-decreed water rights, alluvial irrigation wells, about 2 miles of live water on Running Creek, and five stocked ponds.
