South Apishapa Ranch

The South Apishapa Ranch provides discerning buyers with a fantastic opportunity to acquire a rare mixture of an iconic and historic Southeastern Colorado grazing ranch with the habitat necessary to support both the livestock and all the varieties of wildlife that call this ranch home. The ranch is comprised of 2,360 deeded acres and is the ideal setting for a wide variety of wildlife species. The ranch provides critical habitat for large game, including mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Predators, including coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, and bears, can be found here, as well. Other wildlife species common to the area are rabbit, turkey, scaled quail, and dove. This diverse wildlife population makes the ranch an attractive location for hunting enthusiasts. The ranch also offers potential for economic benefits through hunting leases, in addition to its current cattle grazing lease, or an opportunity to run your own cattle on the land. The property is sufficiently deeded to apply for landowner tags, which helps create more value through hunting. The ranch adjoins the Apishapa State Wildlife Area, which adds an additional 7,935 acres of wildlife habitat with permitted public access, enhancing the total hunting potential of the ranch. The Apishapa River, a seasonal tributary, flows through the ranch's canyon bed but is dependent on precipitation and runoff conditions.PROPERTY FACTS: *2,360 deeded acres *Apishapa Canyon frontage *World-class Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mule deer *Year-round access from County Road 94 *Abuts the 7,935 acre public access Apishapa Wildlife Area *Game Management Units 133, 134, and S38 *Fenced for cattle grazing, with a grazing lease currently in place *Pinyon and juniper trees are scattered across the ranch and concentrated along the canyon rim *Catch ponds create a great water source for wildlife and livestock *Well permit # 295539-A, well Depth 275 production 6-7 gpm *Mountain views of the Spanish Peaks and Greenhorn Mountain
