The Blue Creek Elk Ranch presents a rare opportunity to acquire a nationally recognized hunting operation with a proven record of success. Spanning into two counties, the ranch is divided into an upper ranch and a lower ranch. The upper ranch and lodge are situated in the high country between Montrose and Gunnison, offering an alpine setting suitable for hunting and lodging. Elevations on the upper ranch range from 7,800 to 9,600 feet. The diverse topography includes lakes, streams, Blue Spruce Pine, Douglas Fir Pine, White Spruce, quaking Aspen strands, high mountain alpine sage, and high mountain meadows. The hunting lodge is a finished 7-bedroom, 7-bathroom log structure featuring two kitchens, a large living area with a stone fireplace, wood flooring, tongue and groove detailing, metal and rock accents, private decks and porches, and mountain-themed furnishings. The lower ranch, located near Cedaredge below the Grand Mesa, benefits from a milder climate and features pastures for elk cultivation. Comprising approximately 330 acres across 7 parcels, the lower ranch includes facilities for maintaining the elk herd, pastures for feeding, water rights, and staff housing. Approximately 290 acres are irrigated via an underground system and above-ground gated pipe. The upper ranch has water rights totaling 1.65 cfs. Trophy elk hunts at the ranch typically start around 350-inch bulls, with the majority in the 375-450 range, and bulls in the 500-650 inch range taken annually. The property is suited for continued use as a hunting operation.
