The scenic beauty of
the Colorado Rocky mountains is indescribable in the Yampa Valley with its
panoramic views. The Flattops ranches in Toponas, Colorado are a
remarkable sight to behold. Today it remains one of the great working
cattle ranches in the Rockies and now is the ownership opportunity of a
lifetime.
Over the past twenty years, these historic ranches have been assembled
into 9000 acres of private property adjacent to the 1,125,000 acres Routt
National Forest and the 235,000 acres Flattops Wilderness Area. Location
is half way between Vail and Steamboat Springs along Highway 131 and 45
minutes from airports.
The outdoor enthusiast will enjoy private fishing in either the miles of
streams or reservoirs. Horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking,
snowmobile trails extend in to the National Forest and Wilderness Area.
A large resident elk herd makes a great home base for big game fall hunts.
The Wilderness located behind the property lies within the White River
National Forest. Wildlife includes mule deer, elk, black bear, big horn
sheep, mountain lion and occasional moose. It offers outstanding upland
and waterfowl hunting.
In addiction to the 9000 acres of deeded land, over 100,000 acres National
Forest Service grazing leases are available. The ranch can carry 2200
pairs in the summer with forest lease. The ranch can produce 1500 tons of
hay production with pivots.
The property has tremendous “decreed” water rights for substantial income
along with gravel income.
The ranch has a 3500 foot runway with room to add on and many housing
amenities.
Truly one of the most incredible western sporting paradises in Colorado. |
