Description

Lower Badito West Ranch is a large recreational property located in southern Colorado near the communities of Walsenburg and Gardner. Offered for sale for the first time in many years, the ranch provides a combination of varied terrain, natural water features, nearby public land, and flexibility for future use.

The landscape consists of a mix of piñon pine, ponderosa pine, spruce, and open meadow areas. These features create a balanced property layout that supports wildlife habitat while also offering usable ground for recreation and potential improvements. A historical spring is located near the upper portion of the ranch, with additional seeps and springs in the surrounding area. The nearby Huerfano River further contributes to the water resources and wildlife presence within the region.

Lower Badito West Ranch is located in Colorado Game Management Unit 84, a limited draw unit known for its managed hunting structure. The property is eligible for enrollment in the Colorado Landowner Preference Program. Participation in this program may allow a qualifying buyer to acquire landowner preference tags for both deer and elk, while providing the ability to hunt throughout the entire GMU 84 unit, subject to Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations. Buyers should independently verify eligibility requirements, application deadlines, and hunting regulations.

A new legal deeded access easement from Highway 69 has been established, and while not yet established, it provides convenient and quick entry allowing a future owner to determine how the access is developed based on personal preference and intended use. The access route, shown on the interactive map, leads directly into the lower meadow portion of the ranch, which contains some of the most practical areas for potential building sites or staging areas.

Electrical power is located along the southwestern boundary of the property adding flexibility for future development while allowing the property to retain its rural character.

The ranch directly borders large tracts of public land, expanding recreational opportunities beyond the property itself. The surrounding area supports activities such as hunting, hiking, horseback riding, camping, wildlife viewing, and ATV or UTV use, subject to applicable regulations and land management policies.

Lower Badito West Ranch offers a balance of seclusion and accessibility. The property provides a rural setting with open views and limited nearby development, while remaining within reasonable driving distance of Walsenburg and Gardner for services and supplies.

Additional information, including aerial imagery, interactive mapping, and a 3D virtual tour, is available on the main listing website and provides further insight into the terrain, access, and overall layout of the ranch.
