Description of the Land

LOCATION
Canyongate Ranch is located in scenic Huerfano County in southern Colorado, just off County Roads 620 and 622 about 5 miles east of Gardner. Walsenburg, the nearest large town, is about 45 minutes away and Denver is about a 3½ hour drive. The ranch is 2± miles up County Road 620 which connects to Colorado State Highway 69. CR 622 connects to CR 620 and runs through the north end of the ranch, providing excellent access. This road was upgraded by the county in 2007. The ranch is spread out in the foothills of the Greenhorn Mountain range of the Wet Mountain Valley. The valley is surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the Huerfano River basin and the San Isabel National Forest. Being removed from the major tourist destinations, this part of Colorado remains undiscovered while offering reasonable land prices and some of the most scenic mountain vistas found anywhere in the state.
PROPERTY
Consisting of 2,120± total acres, 1,040± acres are deeded and 1,080± acres are Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lease. The ranch has a year-round spring and several seasonal creeks. It also contains several erosion control dams which hold water for several months. The spring was re-completed in 2006 and was piped to supply a 5,000 gallon cistern. The overflow of the cistern flows into a small pond created by an erosion control dam. Most of the deeded acreage is relatively flat grassland with interspersed pinon, juniper and cedar. The deeded acreage is fenced, except for the south side and the BLM is also fenced. The BLM is steeper and is fairly heavily wooded. There is a heavily wooded creek bed that exits Red Canyon at the northeast end of the ranch and runs southwest through the east end of the ranch. The spring is located in this creek bed.
The ranch has access to two scenic canyons, Red Canyon and South Red Canyon. The entrance to South Red Canyon is located in the BLM at the southeast end of the ranch. About half of the canyon is in the BLM and the other half is in the National Forest. The center of this canyon is the southern boundary of the Greenhorn Mountain Wilderness Area. The canyon also contains the St. Jude Spring. This southern end of the Wilderness Area and Forest is surrounded by private land, has little access and sees little use by the public.
The entrance to Red Canyon is the extension of CR 622 at the northeast end of the ranch. This is private land but the north end of the BLM land is the south side of the canyon wall. The ranch could include a water right to a spring in the Wilderness Area at the east end of Red Canyon.
IMPROVEMENTS
There are no improvements on the ranch.
RECREATION
Elk, deer, bears, mountain lions and wild turkey are abundant and hunting can be exceptional. Access to thousands of acres of National Forest and Wilderness provide unlimited recreation. The area contains many miles of trails for horseback riding, ATV’s, motorcycles or hiking. The nearest boating and golf would be about 30 minutes away at Lathrop State Park.
ASSEMBLAGE
The Canyongate Ranch also is contiguous with the 1,400± acre Kickback Ranch, also listed by Fuller Western. Combining the two ranches would provide 2,000± deeded acres and another 1,400± BLM acres. Consult the agent for further details.
UTILITIES
Electricity runs through the west side of the ranch and telephone is available at CR 620.
