Recreation and Wildlife:

Three land owner tags come with the property and the ranch is in an area that usually has plenty of leftover tags. There are turkey, grouse, fox, coyote, bobcat, and the occasional mountain lion and bear along with a large variety of bird species.
Operational Considerations:
The ranch has been used as a Bison ranch for the last several years and is protected with a conservation easement with Larimer County Open Space. The easement prohibits the development of the property but provides for ranching, recreation, ecological observation, hunting, and residential use - all while keeping the property private to its owner. There are two reserved out-building sites on the ranch, one of which has a poured foundation and drilled water well. Each building site provides for a single family residence, garage, corrals, barn, fences and one retreat cabin which can be located outside the building area. Contact listing Broker for details on the conservation easement.
