Recreational Land for Sale in Meeker, Colorado

Elkville Ranch encompasses approximately 243 +/- acres and offers an exceptional combination of recreational appeal and productive grazing land. As the largest available tract, it features direct Highway 13 frontage, reliable year-round access, and nearby power, making it highly functional for both ranching and outdoor pursuits.

Land

The ranch consists of rolling and gently sloping terrain, with broad sagebrush flats and sub-irrigated bottoms that provide abundant forage for livestock and wildlife. Oakbrush pockets and pinyon-juniper stands along the west and south boundaries create additional cover and habitat diversity. A unique feature of Elkville Ranch is its adjacency to BLM land; a lengthy valley stretches from the property border up the face of the overlooking cliff, containing wallows, feeding and bedding areas, open meadows, and water sources. This natural corridor funnels wildlife directly onto the ranch, attracting elk, deer, and turkey year-round. The limited public access on this BLM land further enhances the privacy and wildlife consistency of the property.

Situated in GMU 22, Elkville Ranch benefits from a rich variety of habitat that supports strong populations of elk, deer, and turkey. Over-the-counter elk and turkey tags are available for private land, and the proximity to BLM land and other public areas expands hunting and recreational opportunities. The combination of productive ranchland and prime wildlife habitat makes Elkville Ranch an ideal setting for both outdoor enthusiasts and livestock operations.
