6 Peaks Ranch

913± Acres | Six 14,000-Foot Peaks in View | BLM Border | End-of-Road Privacy | Irrigated | Trophy Mule Deer

6 Peaks Ranch is a premier 913± acre Western Colorado ranch offering exceptional big game hunting, strong agricultural production, significant water resources, and miles of direct BLM adjacency, all protected by a conservation easement designed to preserve the ranch's agricultural integrity and water values for generations to come.

From multiple vantage points across the ranch, six Colorado fourteen-thousand-foot peaks are visible, giving the property its name and defining its remarkable skyline. Expansive valley views, elevated terrain, and distant snowcapped summits create a commanding Western backdrop that changes with every step across the land.

Located at the very end of Stucker Mesa Road, the ranch enjoys true end-of-the-road privacy with minimal traffic and a quiet, secluded setting.

Recreation & Trophy Hunting

Hunting is one of the premier attributes of 6 Peaks Ranch.

Bordering BLM land for miles, the property benefits from major wildlife movement corridors and exceptional recreational access. The blend of irrigated ground, ponds, natural springs, varied topography, and adjacency to public land creates outstanding year-round habitat.

The ranch is well known for trophy-class mule deer, with mature bucks harvested consistently each fall. Located in unit 521 the draw odds for buck tags are much better than other units in the state. In addition the 6 Peaks Ranch qualifies for Colorado's Landowner Preference Program and has historically drawn mule deer vouchers. For buyers seeking legitimate opportunity to take big, mature deer annually, this property is ideally positioned. Maintaining fall feed and growing forage desirable to mule deer can further enhance mule deer presence and help hold deer throughout the hunting seasons and winter.

A strong elk herd frequents the ranch and nearby public lands, offering additional big game opportunity.

Grazing & Agricultural Use

With substantial irrigation resources and cross-fenced pastures, the ranch is equally strong from a production standpoint.

The owner maintains a BLM grazing permit allowing a small group of cattle to utilize adjacent public land. The combination of irrigated ground, rotational grazing infrastructure, natural water sources, and public land access creates flexibility for a working cattle operation.

The conservation easement protects the ranch's agricultural base and associated irrigation water resources, ensuring continued productive use while preserving the integrity of the land.

Improvements & Infrastructure

The ranch includes three residences plus a separate guest or ranch-hand home, offering flexibility for owners, family, guests, or full-time help. All of these are just off the County maintained Stucker Mesa Road that ends at the Stone House on the ranch. No other ranch of this caliber is so secluded but only minutes from town.

• Primary Residence: Recently remodeled 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, move-in ready. A concrete pad has been poured adjacent to the home for future garage or shop construction.
• Stone House: Remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bath home that houses the walk-in coolers and on-site meat processing facility.
• Green House: 4-bedroom, 3-bath modular home that is also move-in ready. Spring No. 1 is pumped to a storage tank and gravity-fed to this residence.

Operational improvements include:

Lavender Production
