Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Evergreen, Colorado

With year-round access just 15 minutes from Evergreen and under an hour from Denver, Upper Bear Headwaters Ranch lies in one of the most sought-after corridors of Colorado’s Front Range. Spanning 844 acres, the property has been held by descendants of Governor John Evans since 1924 and is now available for the first time in generations. This pristine mountain landscape features lush hay meadows along Vance Creek, which winds through the heart of the ranch before giving way to rising timbered slopes, rocky draws, grassy benches, and dramatic cliff faces above. Elevations range from 7,600 to 9,000 feet, offering diverse terrain and expansive viewsheds within the ranch boundaries. Flanked by the exclusive Evans Ranch to the west, Hicks Mountain Open Space to the north, and a mosaic of large or conserved holdings on all sides, the property is exceptionally well-blocked and protected. A conservation easement preserves the land’s integrity while allowing for three residential sites and offering flexibility for thoughtful subdivision or shared ownership. Undeveloped and unspoiled, Upper Bear Headwaters Ranch represents a rare legacy opportunity in a region increasingly shaped by conservation values and long-term stewardship.

Upper Bear Headwaters Ranch is listed in conjunction with Evans Ridge Ranch. The properties are offered for sale individually, although they are currently owned and managed together.
