A Remote Colorado haven on 480± Deeded Acres
Nestled in Mineral County and surrounded by the vast Rio Grande National Forest, Red Mountain Ranch sits on 480± deeded acres of pristine, private landscape.
Just 15± minutes from Creede, Colorado, the property combines untouched natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and year-round accessibility with the comfort of modern, off-grid living.
A Spectacular Setting, Unmatched Privacy, and World-Class Recreation
Elevations from 9,300 to 9,700 feet offer dramatic views of Rhoda’s Arch, nearby Piedra Peak, and a constellation of 12,000+ foot summits.
The arch, shaped by erosion through a ridge of trachyte, remains a rare and remote feature visible from Red Mountain Ranch.
The ranch’s remoteness, balanced with reliable year-round access, creates a sense of stepping back to the 1800s while enjoying contemporary comforts.
Water, Wildlife, and a Private Fishery
Two 7±-acre lakes and over 3 miles of improved trout streams, along with Red Mountain Creek winding through the property, establish a private, owner-managed fishery. Brown and rainbow trout flourish in pristine water, with no public access or fishing pressure, ensuring a sustainable, exclusive angling environment.

Rugged Roads, thoughtful Improvements, and Abundant Amenities

A chicken coop, an outdoor mechanical room with generator and hydro power units, and a wrap-around balcony deliver panoramic views of the lakes, streams, and surrounding peaks.
