Description
Welcome to Agape Valley, a one-of-a-kind, 653-acre legacy property in the heart of Colorado’s Wet Mountain Valley. More than just a retreat, this expansive ranch is a wildlife sanctuary and a turnkey venue, offering an unparalleled blend of recreation, comfort, and conservation.
Set in Game Management Unit (GMU) 84, Agape Valley is a hunter’s dream. With extensive meadows, dense pine and aspen forests, and riparian corridors, the property supports thriving populations of elk, mule deer, Merriam’s turkey, black bear, and other native wildlife. Elk bugle across the valley in early fall, while abundant herds of mule deer frequent the grassy openings and edges, often times visiting guests up close in the venue areas. Thanks to its size and location, the ranch qualifies for Colorado’s Landowner Preference Program, offering landowners a distinct advantage when applying for limited-draw big game hunting licenses. This means more consistent and predictable access to coveted tags—an enormous benefit for private hunting, guiding, outfitting or income opportunities via leases and voucher sales.
But Agape Valley offers far more than just outstanding hunting. The land is arranged in a conservation-focused layout that balances open space preservation with thoughtful development. Two conservation easements cover 627 acres, with two 20-acre building envelopes reserved for future home sites. At the center lies a 40-acre non-eased core—a fully improved retreat area that serves as the property’s heartbeat.
This central zone is shaded by mature pines and includes:
A 3,000 sq. ft. historic log home
A 1,300 sq. ft. manager’s residence
Two guest cabins
A bath house and kitchen cabin
19 full-service RV sites with water, sewer, and electric
10 additional RV sites with water and power
A large open-air event pavilion
Extensive trail system and developed roads
These features make the property perfectly suited for events, family reunions, hunting camps, spiritual retreats, or even a boutique RV hospitality business. The improvements are supported by a commercial well and a recently upgraded septic system, ensuring year-round functionality and comfort.
Recreation abounds throughout the ranch. A wetland corridor supports birds, amphibians, and small game, while trails weave through forested ridges, wildflower meadows, and along seasonal creeks—perfect for hiking, birding, ATV use, or quiet reflection. Wildlife sightings are frequent and unforgettable.
Access is easy yet discreet. The ranch is 20 minutes from Westcliffe, offering groceries, restaurants, and local charm. It’s just 1.5 hours from Colorado Springs Airport and under 2 hours to Denver, making it remarkably accessible for weekenders or destination guests while maintaining total privacy.
Agape Valley is not just a property—it’s a place where wildlife, purpose, and possibility intersect. Whether you're drawn by the promise of trophy hunting, the peace of a remote mountain getaway, or the vision of building a nature-inspired retreat or business, Agape Valley delivers.
