About this Ranch



6 Peaks Ranch
913± Acres | Six 14,000-Foot Peaks in View | BLM Border | End-of-Road Privacy | Irrigated | Trophy Mule Deer



6 Peaks Ranch is a premier 913± acre Western Colorado ranch offering exceptional big game hunting, strong agricultural production, significant water resources, and miles of direct BLM adjacency, all protected by a conservation easement designed to preserve the ranch’s agricultural integrity and water values for generations to come.



From multiple vantage points across the ranch, six Colorado fourteen-thousand-foot peaks are visible, giving the property its name and defining its remarkable skyline. Expansive valley views, elevated terrain, and distant snowcapped summits create a commanding Western backdrop that changes with every step across the land.



Located at the very end of Stucker Mesa Road, the ranch enjoys true end-of-the-road privacy with minimal traffic and a quiet, secluded setting.



Recreation & Trophy Hunting
Hunting is one of the premier attributes of 6 Peaks Ranch.



Bordering BLM land for miles, the property benefits from major wildlife movement corridors and exceptional recreational access. The blend of irrigated ground, ponds, natural springs, varied topography, and adjacency to public land creates outstanding year-round habitat.



The ranch is well known for trophy-class mule deer, with mature bucks harvested consistently each fall. Located in unit 521 the draw odds for buck tags are much better than other units in the state. In addition the 6 Peaks Ranch qualifies for Colorado’s Landowner Preference Program and has historically drawn mule deer vouchers. For buyers seeking legitimate opportunity to take big, mature deer annually, this property is ideally positioned. Maintaining fall feed and growing forage desirable to mule deer can further enhance mule deer presence and help hold deer throughout the hunting seasons and winter.



A strong elk herd frequents the ranch and nearby public lands, offering additional big game opportunity.



Grazing & Agricultural Use
With substantial irrigation resources and cross-fenced pastures, the ranch is equally strong from a production standpoint.



The owner maintains a BLM grazing permit allowing a small group of cattle to utilize adjacent public land. The combination of irrigated ground, rotational grazing infrastructure, natural water sources, and public land access creates flexibility for a working cattle operation.



The conservation easement protects the ranch’s agricultural base and associated irrigation water resources, ensuring continued productive use while preserving the integrity of the land.



Improvements & Infrastructure
The ranch includes three residences plus a separate guest or ranch-hand home, offering flexibility for owners, family, guests, or full-time help. All of these are just off the County maintained Stucker Mesa Road that ends at the Stone House on the ranch. No other ranch of this caliber is so secluded but only minutes from town.



• Primary Residence: Recently remodeled 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, move-in ready. A concrete pad has been poured adjacent to the home for future garage or shop construction.
• Stone House: Remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bath home that houses the walk-in coolers and on-site meat processing facility.
• Green House: 4-bedroom, 3-bath modular home that is also move-in ready. Spring No. 1 is pumped to a storage tank and gravity-fed to this residence.



Operational improvements include:
• Newer shop building at the Green House location
• Working cattle pens with alley, chute, and sorting capabilities
• Covered livestock stalls adjacent to the shop
• Walk-in coolers
• On-site meat processing facility
• Property fenced and cross-fenced for rotational grazing



The infrastructure supports both a productive cattle operation and efficient wild game processing capability.

Lavender Production
A high-fenced lavender field remains in place, and the established plants will be up for discussion. Seller would possibly be interested in leasing the lavender back from the new owner if the plants survived the winter.



The North Fork Valley Lifestyle
6 Peaks Ranch is situated within the renowned North Fork Valley, an agriculturally rich region known for fertile soils, deep ranching heritage, and vibrant local culture.



Nearby Hotchkiss and Paonia offer a welcoming blend of working ranch atmosphere and farm-to-table influence. The valley is known for excellent schools, locally raised meats, organic fruits and vegetables, and boutique wineries.



Outdoor recreation is woven into everyday life, including snowmobiling, ATV riding, horseback riding, hiking, fishing, hunting, rafting, and extensive public land exploration.



For premier mountain access, the ranch sits just under two hours from Aspen and approximately one hour and fifteen minutes from Powderhorn Mountain Resort.



6 Peaks Ranch represents a rare opportunity to acquire a private, end-of-road, conserved Colorado ranch offering views of six fourteen-thousand-foot peaks, exceptional trophy mule deer hunting, productive grazing capacity, meaningful water rights, and quality residential improvements, all within one of Western Colorado’s most desirable valleys.
