Hageman Ranch

Ranch Description

Hageman Ranch offers 320 acres of scenic Routt County land just 45 minutes from world-class Steamboat Springs. Rolling meadows, timbered draws, and mountain vistas create a private setting for recreation, hunting, or a family retreat-an authentic piece of Colorado's high country with easy access to town.

Land

At 7900 feet of elevation, Hageman Ranch blends open grasslands and hay meadows with stands of oak, aspen, and pine. A seasonal creek and natural springs cross the center corridor, supporting excellent elk and mule-deer habitat year-round.

Fencing outlines the property, and internal two-track roads reach scenic vantage points across the rolling topography. Large agricultural and ranch holdings nearby help preserve its sense of open space.

Recreation

Situated within GMU 131, this property lies in the heart of Routt County's trophy elk and mule deer country. Game sign, bedding areas, and travel routes are visible across the ranch, making it a proven location for archery and rifle seasons alike.

Beyond hunting, the terrain lends itself to horseback riding, hiking, and ATV exploration across miles of rolling ridge and meadow. In winter, the open slopes and ridgelines invite snowshoeing and backcountry adventure, while nearby Steamboat Springs offers world-class alpine skiing, hot springs, and year-round dining and entertainment-all within an easy 45-minute drive.

The ranch has been partially leased for grazing cattle and sheep for many years.
