The hunting here is exceptional by any measure. Resident elk and mule deer herds are supplemented by migrating animals pushing through each fall, concentrating big-game activity across timbered ridgelines, aspen groves, open meadows, and drainage corridors at exactly the right time of year. Moose, black bear, turkey, and the occasional pronghorn round out a wildlife portfolio that few properties in the region can match. Located within GMU 50 - a limited-entry unit - hunting pressure stays low and quality stays high. Strong draw odds combined with Landowner Preference license eligibility give the owner a reliable path to tags on their own ground year after year.

When the rifles are put away, hundreds of miles of National Forest ATV and 4x4 trails are literally out the front door. Some of Colorado's finest fishing is just minutes away - Tarryall Creek and Reservoir, 11 Mile, Spinney, and the world-renowned Dream Stream. World-class skiing at Breckenridge, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin is within easy reach to the west, with Colorado Springs and its amenities anchoring the southeast. Badger Mountain Ranch sits at the center of it all.

Water sets this ranch apart and so does the scenery. Framed by sweeping views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range, a creek, natural spring system, and multiple ponds deliver year-round wildlife attraction and reliable on-site water. In good moisture years the ponds run deep enough for a canoe, paddleboard, and stock fishing - the kind of detail that turns a hunting camp into a four-season family retreat.

The 2,800 sf off-grid cabin with 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 2-story and loft is ready to use the day you close. Fenced, gated, and accessible year-round.

A property combining this level of wildlife, recreation, National Forest access, and full year-round usability, all within 2.5 hours of Denver metro, is genuinely rare. Badger Mountain Ranch is the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around twice.
