El Paso County Investment Ranch With Grazing, CRP And Rental Income

Located on the eastern plains of El Paso County, this productive 456.64 acre ranch presents an excellent opportunity for ranchers, investors, or buyers seeking a well-balanced agricultural property with dependable income, quality grazing, and strong recreational appeal. With excellent year-round access from Ramah Highway, Hanisch Road, and Judge Orr Road, the property combines practical functionality with expansive views stretching west to Pikes Peak. The ranch has a proven history of supporting approximately 25 cow/calf pairs during the grazing season from June 1 through November 1. The grass is being rested for the 2026 grazing season, providing a strong foundation for future livestock operations. Full perimeter fencing, cross fencing, and prior prairie dog mitigation further enhance the property's livestock value and overall condition. Adding to its investment appeal, approximately 361.43 acres are enrolled in an active Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contract, generating approximately $6,500 annually at roughly $18 per acre. This established income stream provides additional financial stability while promoting long-term stewardship of the land. The property includes two residences that are being conveyed in as-is condition. The original farmhouse, built in 1909, offers more than 1,200 square feet of living space, while a second residence consists of a mobile home with an addition. Both homes are currently occupied by long-term tenants who would like to remain if desired by the new owner, offering immediate rental income and operational flexibility. Water resources include two functional livestock wells and a third well serving a cattle tank that currently needs repair. These improvements support the ranch's agricultural operation while providing dependable water sources across the property. Wildlife is another attractive feature of the ranch. Healthy populations of pronghorn antelope and mule deer are frequently observed throughout the property, and the ranch borders approximately 640 acres of State Wildlife Area, creating additional privacy, wildlife habitat, and an expansive feel rarely found on the eastern plains.
