Red Mountain Ranch

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.

    The ranch sits in Game Management Unit 76, a premier big-game area for elk, moose, and mule deer, with Landowner Preference program benefits including elk and mule deer tags.


    Turn-Key Living Spaces and Off-Grid Independence

    The Living on Red Mountain Ranch features an Engelmann Spruce log cabin offering 4,193± square feet of refined living space, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling three-story fireplace, and expansive windows that capture the surrounding beauty.

    An additional log cabin (2,450± sq. ft.), a large barn with caretaker quarters, a workshop, and a yoga/exercise room provide ready-to-use infrastructure for extended stays or operations.

    The entire property is powered off-grid by hydroelectricity, delivering independence and protection from external intrusion. Year-round access supports as a primary residence or a year-round retreat.


    Rugged Roads, thoughtful Improvements, and Abundant Amenities

    Gravel and dirt roads are well maintained, with post fencing and designated car park areas that ensure easy navigation of the expansive property.

    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.

    The property’s layout and improvements are designed for seamless year-round use, whether for a private retreat, a hunting and fishing base, or a luxurious off-grid residence.


    Living details and Lifestyle Potential

    The ranch’s interior spaces are designed to impress without compromising comfort. The main dwelling centers on spectacular vistas and generous living areas, ideal for entertaining guests or hosting family gatherings after a day of outdoor exploration.

    The off-grid setup provides reliability and privacy, making Red Mountain Ranch suitable as a primary residence, a seasonal escape, or a legacy ranch for generations.
