Top Rail Ranch

Ranch Description

Very rarely does a unique property like this come up for sale! This magnificent property which has been in use since 1999 as a privately fenced elk hunting area boasts 1300 acres completely surrounded by an 8’ high, high tensile strength fence which is of an incredibly high quality type of construction traveling through some very difficult terrain in order to make the fence almost undetectable from most locations on the ranch. The fence has a well-constructed access road traveling the entire length of the perimeter running along the exterior of the  fence. The general topography of the ranch is composed of gentle open meadows with abundant native grasses surrounded by beautiful aspen groves. It continues up into moderate to steep mountainous terrain with dramatic rocky outcroppings with bear caves included, and a mix of light and heavy dark timbered Ponderosa and Spruce areas for excellent wildlife habitat. There are two creeks running through the ranch: Hall Gulch on the north side and Fear Creek running on the south side named after homesteader George Fear. There are 6 spring fed ponds, 4 stock ponds and many retention ponds scattered throughout the ranch to catch runoff. Great care has been taken in the selection and construction of not only the fencing, but also the hunting lodge and hunting cabins on this property to make it a one of a kind exclusive private hunting retreat. The area surrounding the fenced portion is a privately owned property where wildlife abounds as well, to make this property one of a kind. This ranch could be used as a private year round family residence, hunting retreat, business/corporate retreat or just an ideal private wilderness area for someone who enjoys the outdoors all to themselves with absolutely no public access. The property is a short drive from Canon City, CO. on highway 9 taking a left on Fremont County Rd 2 where there is a locked electric gate maintained by the South T Bar Ranch, the road is maintained as well by them. Do not miss the once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of property in Colorado as magnificent as this.
