One of the most picturesque ranches in the region, the historic Cuchara Valley Ranch lies at the base of the Spanish Peaks in southern Colorado. Lying along the trout-rich Cucharas River and three additional creeks, this 4,717 +/- acre ranch (1,290 acres deeded, 3,427 acres leased) includes lush irrigated meadows, cottonwood-lined rivers and creeks, and oak brush, aspen, pine and fir trees in the higher elevations. The property has unique geologic Dakota sandstone walls and lava dikes that radiate out from the base of West Spanish Peak, a waterfall and rustic cabin in Chaparral Creek, seven miles of San Isabel National Forest boundary, and private trails leading to the Spanish Peaks Wilderness Area. Just eight miles south of the charming town of La Veta along the Highway of Legends Scenic Byway, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a legacy ranch. Contact Ken Mirr.
