The property is located in Game Management Unit 741 with over-the-counter elk tags and receiving three land owner buck tags per year. For more than 30 years, the ranch has been meticulously managed for big game.

The land combines rolling farmland, arroyos, and timber blocks, creating a diverse habitat that holds game year-round. Three permitted solar wells supply year-round water to multiple points strategically placed throughout the property, while wheat and safflower are rotated on a fallow schedule, generating lease income through a 75/25 split (Income Varies Annually). The ranch is equipped with an 80x60 metal shop with concrete floors and a one-bedroom, one-bath off-grid cabin with a spacious living room area, powered by solar, serviced by propane, and connected to a cistern with a pressure tank. Eight tower blinds are positioned throughout the property, connected by a network of trails for easy access on foot or ATV. Bordered on three sides by the Southern Ute Reservation—well-known for its excellent trophy game management—the ranch benefits from low hunting pressure and high-quality neighboring habitat.
