5,899 Acres in Maybell, CO - $7,900,000

3D Mountain Ranch offers a rare four-season legacy property in northwest Colorado. Encompassing 5,899 deeded acres, plus a 5,865-acre BLM grazing allotment and a 640-acre state lease, the ranch spans over 12,400 acres of diverse and productive ground. From riverbanks and bottomlands to cedar-covered ridgelines and open benches, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for recreation, ranching, and long-term investment.

Land

The landscape at 3D Mountain Ranch is nothing short of spectacular. As you ascend through dramatic rock outcroppings, the land unfolds into a series of broad, flat benches interspersed with deep cedar-lined draws and rugged finger canyons. Scattered throughout the property are historic homestead cabins and old livestock corrals—subtle reminders of the ranch’s working heritage. With nearly half a mile of Yampa River frontage and three year-round access points, the property is as accessible as it is expansive.

Elevations range from just over 6,000 feet to nearly 7,000 feet, creating ideal conditions for year-round use. Native grasses and a healthy mix of cover provide excellent grazing for livestock and habitat for wildlife, while the varied terrain offers natural vantage points and corridors that enhance both hunting and ranching operations.

Recreation

With direct access to the Yampa River, 3D Mountain Ranch offers an abundance of outdoor adventures right from your doorstep. Whether you’re floating a scenic stretch by raft, casting a line in the river, or exploring the surrounding terrain on ATVs or horseback, the recreational opportunities are as diverse as they are plentiful.

Located in GMU 211, the property offers over-the-counter elk tags and qualifies for deer and antelope vouchers. Elk, deer, and antelope frequent the property and surrounding BLM lands throughout the year, with increased movement in the late seasons as snow drives herds from higher elevations. Spring shed hunting is especially rewarding thanks to the large number of animals that winter on the ranch.

Nearby destinations such as Dinosaur National Monument, Gates of Lodore, Vermillion Falls, and Browns Park are all within an hour and a half, adding to the ranch’s appeal as a recreational hub in the heart of wild Colorado.

Agriculture

3D Mountain Ranch has a long history of seasonal grazing, supporting both sheep and cattle operations from early spring through summer. Its 5,899 deeded acres are complemented by more than 5,800 acres of BLM allotment and a 640-acre state lease, offering extensive grazing capacity across varied terrain.

Water resources are strategically located throughout the ranch. On the northern side, livestock benefit from a developed spring, Yampa River access, and an additional spring on the BLM allotment. To the south, a newly developed well supplies the lower flats, and plans are in place to drill another well on the northwestern benches to enhance future operations. To the east, a natural spring provides year-round water in the bottomlands.

With its abundant water, expansive range, and multi-season utility, the ranch is well-positioned to continue its ranching legacy while offering flexibility for modern operations or expansion.
