THE HUBBARD CREEK 40 | PRIVATE ACCESS TO A VAST PUBLIC LAND HUNTING GROUND

Tucked along Hubbard Creek and surrounded by BLM public land, this 40-acre mountain parcel offers a rare opportunity to own a private piece of the landscape while sitting directly at the doorstep of thousands of acres of public hunting and recreational land. With a gated entrance to the 40 and direct access up Hubbard Creek and some land locked BLM, the property provides an exceptional basecamp for hunters, outdoorsmen, and those looking for a true off-grid mountain escape. Hubbard Creek runs through the southwest corner of the property.

The property is in Colorado Game Management Unit 521, a highly regarded hunting unit offering opportunities for elk, mule deer, black bear, and mountain lion. Archery, 1st rifle, and 4th rifle elk licenses are available through the draw, while 2nd and 3rd rifle elk licenses remain over the counter. Mule deer licenses are also draw-only, with opportunities available to hunters accumulating preference points.

One of the property's greatest assets is its access. Hubbard Creek Rd follows the creek up the drainage. The access to the 40 comes off Hubbard Creek Rd a short way crossing the creek to the property gate. The private driveway runs through the property continues to the BLM wrapping all the way around to Bear Creek. Hubbard Creek Rd dead ends, at a trailhead where horseback and foot access begin, opening the door to an expansive backcountry hunting and recreation area.

Elk, Mule Deer and Black bear are abundant throughout the area, and the property lies in a known mountain lion travel corridor. For the serious hunter, the location offers the potential to use the 40 acres as a private staging area while accessing a much larger surrounding public-land landscape. This property controls access to hundreds of acres that only a handful of people can access.

Whether you're looking for a private hunting basecamp, recreational retreat, or a strategic piece of land with direct access into the backcountry, The Hubbard Creek 40 offers something increasingly difficult to find in Colorado: private acreage surrounded by public land and positioned at the gateway to thousands of acres of wild country.
