Beautiful setting 22 miles west of downtown Durango and 7 miles east of historic Mancos, CO. 825 acres of prime elk, bear and deer hunting with alpine setting including ponderosa pine forests, aspen groves, open meadows, gambel oak stands and large rimrock outcroppings. Surrounded by large ranches with controlled hunting this ranch is in GMU 741 with over the counter elk and generous deer vouchers. The adjacent 3000 acre ranch, owned by famed western author Louis L'Amoure's estate, has been placed in conservation easement and is not hunted providing a wonderful breeding area for the large resident elk herd. There are multiple water sources (spring fed), private access with no thoroughfare and underground utilities within the ranch. The ranch is a prime candidate for a conservation easement with great tax benefit potential from the state of Colorado. Low taxes and great location near skiing, tons of national forest, Mesa Verde Nat'l Park and more! $4 million. Contact Thad Trujillo 970-749-7103 for more information
