7446 US Hwy 160, Hesperus, CO 81326

East Fork Cherry Creek Ranch is a vacant recreational and hunting ranch offering approximately 1,020 acres of varied terrain and established improvements. The property includes about 3/4 mile of East Fork Cherry Creek and four ponds, creating reliable water sources that can help concentrate wildlife throughout the year. It supports hunting opportunities for elk, mule deer, bear, and turkey, with GMU 741 referenced in the offering. Vegetation ranges from Ponderosa pine forest and quaking aspen groves to oak brush, native sage flats, and open meadows, with wide-open skies and mountain views across changing elevation. For immediate use, the ranch is described as having 9.5+ miles of interior roads and trails, power on the property, and a brand-new septic tank with two RV hookups.

Access is described as year-round, and the ranch is noted for Highway 160 frontage. The property is also described as adjacent to landlocked BLM and thousands of acres of Ute Indian Tribe land, both with no public hunting access, intended to enhance wildlife security. In addition, it is described as directly across Highway 160 from nearly 1 million acres of San Juan National Forest, providing immediate proximity to public lands for recreation.

The combination of water, cover, and restricted-access adjacency makes this an appealing fit for buyers seeking a private hunting ranch or a recreational basecamp in Southwest Colorado. With proximity to Durango and nearby fishing on the Animas River, the property is positioned for year-round outdoor use while maintaining a secluded ranch setting.
