Los Creek Ranch is an ideal size and price point for a remote mountain hunting and recreation property. With expansive views of the surrounding valley and bordered on all sides by public lands, the ranch feels much larger than its ~480 acres. Tucked into the remote and secluded Saguache Park basin just north of looming San Luis Peak, the ranch has no neighbors, no light pollution, and feels like rural Colorado of an earlier time.
Overview
An attractive blend of prairie grasslands and mixed-conifer forest interface, the ranch has a compelling mix of open ground and topography that offers excellent cover and affords a secure habitat for moose, deer, and elk. Los Creek runs through the middle of the property, bringing vital water and riparian habitat to the Saguache Park sage hills and prairie grasslands.

The ranch is anchored by a practical and well-maintained ~ 1,500 sq ft, 3 bedroom, two bath, wood-frame main house remodeled in 2008 with a two-car garage and a large, covered porch. In addition to an ~850 sq ft historic line cabin, the headquarters improvements include a 3,000 sq ft steel frame metal shop with two horse stalls, an insulated office, and plenty of dry-storage space. The improvements are served by an off-grid 4.8 kW solar and 1 kW wind turbine hybrid system, with an underground battery vault and backup propane generator.
The ranch is located on the east side of what locals call Saguache Park in the remote headwaters of the Cochetopa Creek tributary of the Gunnison River Basin. Secluded and tucked away in a scenic pocket of southwest Colorados rural Saguache County, the property is accessed year-round from Highway 114 and full-service county roads. It is a short hours drive from Gunnison to the northwest and the town of Saguache to the southeast. The ranch is surrounded by expansive public lands that allow outstanding big-game hunting access integrating into thousands of acres of the Gunnison National Forest.
