The Loaded Elk Ranch is located in one of the highest populated elk areas in Colorado for multiple seasons. With elk and deer populations residing on the ranch through the early seasons, there are increased numbers moving in from the Williams Fork Drainage and the Flattops in the later seasons. The ranch has every key attribute for world class hunting, including water, cover, and great access to the bordering public lands. Loaded Elk Ranch consists of 1,314 +/- deeded acres, along with a grazing and recreational lease on approximately 480 acres of State Land. In addition to the world class hunting opportunities, there are 2 separate grazing allotments that are used in conjunction with the ranch and are perimeter fenced for excellent grazing potential. From different access points off Highway 13, the land quickly rises into numerous draws and canyons, with nice open benches. The land is well watered from a well, springs, and ponds. The ranch has excellent cover for both wildlife and livestock. Located in hunting unit 13, the ranch qualifies for landowner vouchers for deer with over the counter tags for elk. The ranch borders BLM lands, and is approximately 30 minutes away from the National Forest and Yellow Jacket Pass. The nearby National Forest provides unlimited recreational opportunities with the lakes and trail heads. Yellow Jacket Pass makes for a fun day whether it’s hiking, riding ATVs, hunting, or fishing. From the ranch, the Yampa River is less than 10 miles away and offers great opportunities such as rafting and fishing. The ranch is located along Highway 13, less than 15 miles south of Craig, and just over a mile north of Hamilton. The ranch borders Highway 13 with good year-round access and power available. The Yampa Valley Regional Airport is within 30 minutes from the ranch, and Steamboat Springs is within 1 hour and 15 minutes. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to own land in one of Colorado’s most highly populated elk areas.
