Ranch Description

75 acres bordering 2,684 acres of landlocked BLM with no public access. This unique property is a hunters dream offering access to landlocked BLM public lands in filing number 2 of Picketwire Ranch just 10 minutes from Trinidad city limits. The property can be accessed via private roads through Fisher Peak Ranch or from Cokedale off of county road 57.7.

Land

The property is mountainous but offers a good building site just off Picketwire Road on lot 31. Views of the Sangre De Cristo mountains and Fishers Peak are incredible from the hill on lot number 31. Both lot 31 & lot 37 touch the Blm, giving you good access from a private trail on the property. You can access the property by electronic gate through Fisher Peak Ranch coming from I-25 which is located just 10 minutes from the North side of Trinidad, CO. These roads in Picketwire Ranch as well as Fisher Peak Ranch are private. No public access. The property itself is gated with 2 locked gates and 2 entrances one to each lot. The roads coming from Fisher Peak Ranch are maintained privately by them, and are in good condition. The last mile of Picketwire Road does get muddy in the spring and could be graded each spring. Both lots are fully treed and offer good cover for wildlife. Lot number 31 and lot number 37 are being offered separately for a price of $185,000.00 each if one desires to buy just one lot. So, $185,000.00 per parcel or $350,000.00 for both if purchased together. 2 custom made movable hunting blinds will convey at closing which are located on each lot in strategic locations. This property has a very private wilderness like feel to it. There are no year round neighbors nearby to take away from the tranquil feel of the property.

Recreation

Game management unit 85 is one of the better elk hunting units in CO. You can find good bulls in this unit, as most of it is private. Giving bulls time to grow bigger and get older. This unit offers over the counter 2nd and 3rd rifle season bull elk tags for residents and non-residents. Over the counter archery either sex elk tags can be purchased by residents. Non-residents will have to draw either sex archery elk tags, but should have no problem drawing a tag with zero preference points.
