Description

478 acres of prime wildlife habitat and diverse terrain with open sage brush meadows, Juniper and Pinion woodlands with multiple drainages and only 25 minutes from downtown Montrose. Happy Canyon bisects the property and provides a diverse feature that supplies seasonal water by the way of Happy Canyon Creek. The Canyon is filled with large growth Cottonwoods and Gamble Oak providing food and habitat for Elk, Mule Deer, Black bear, Merriam Turkey and Mountain Lion. This Ranch is located in GMU unit 62. Elk tags are over the counter and opportunities hunting Mule Deer would be about an every other year draw. A series of recent management projects implemented by the state on the surrounding BLM to clear and thin some of the woodlands have further enhanced to the surrounding habitat by creating large areas of forage and browse on almost all sides of the property. These surrounding features make this property a “sanctuary” of private land surrounded by a virtual grocery store. This property would make an excellent recreational tract with neighboring BLM and easy access to Montrose.
