Description
Dolores County Ranch
Located just outside Dove Creek in Southwest Colorado, Dolores County Ranch consists of approximately 722 acres of productive farmland and quality big-game habitat. The property offers a strong combination of income-producing agriculture and excellent hunting in an area well known for its wildlife populations.
The ranch borders roughly 6,000 acres of BLM land, providing immediate access to additional public ground and significantly expanding the recreational footprint beyond the property boundaries. This adjacency creates additional room to explore and hunt while maintaining the privacy and space that define this part of Colorado.
Situated in Colorado Game Management Unit 72, the area is widely recognized as a trophy mule deer unit with a long history of producing mature bucks. The property would qualify for the Colorado Landowner Preference Program, which can provide landowners with greater access to mule deer tags in a highly sought-after unit.
Elk hunting in the area is also a major draw, with over-the-counter elk tags available, giving hunters the ability to pursue elk on a consistent basis without waiting years to draw. The ranch sits approximately 1.5 miles from the Utah border, and the area regularly sees bulls moving between Utah and Colorado. Many of the elk coming out of Utah are trophy-caliber bulls, adding another layer of hunting potential to the property. In addition to deer and elk, the ranch also supports bear, mountain lion, and coyote.
Beyond its recreational appeal, Dolores County Ranch is also a working agricultural property. The ground currently supports winter wheat and safflower production, providing seasonal income while maintaining agricultural tax benefits. The productive soils and open fields offer flexibility for continued farming or other agricultural uses.
The ranch offers year-round access and is located approximately 1.5 hours from Telluride, Durango, and Moab, making it convenient to reach while still offering the space and seclusion expected from a property of this size.
Dolores County Ranch is a well-rounded property that combines productive farmland, quality wildlife habitat, and direct access to thousands of acres of public land, making it an excellent fit for both agricultural use and recreational ownership.
