Description
Just outside the quiet town of Blanca sits a stretch of protected Colorado ranch land, offered in three separate parcels totaling 555+/- acres. This ground is part of a Colorado Open Lands Conservation Easement that preserves the open space, wildlife corridor, and working land character of this area for generations to come. Within the terms of the easement, a designated building envelope allows for future construction in alignment with the conservation guidelines.
The largest parcel, 400+/- acres, is home to a spring that has historically produced year-round water and feeds a natural pond. The 40 acre parcel includes Sangre de Cristo Creek running through the center, creating riparian habitat and a dependable stop for the sandhill cranes during their spring and fall migrations. The remaining 80 acres provide additional pasture well-suited for rotation or expansion of an existing cattle operation.
The ranch has been used for cattle and has historically supported approximately 100 head. Fencing, grass cover, dependable access, and nearby power make it immediately usable for continued agricultural use, while the conservation status ensures the surrounding landscape will remain open, authentic, and free from future subdivision.
Year-round access is provided by county-maintained roads, and the property sits within minutes of Highway 160, Blanca, and full views of mount Blanca. No water rights are included with the sale.
For the next owner, this is more than pasture land. It is an opportunity to steward ground that will not be carved up, crowded, or commercialized. A working ranch property with live water, open views, wildlife, and the rare ability to build within a protected landscape that will stay wild and unchanged for the generations that follow.
160 Acres with a barn and arena at 0 County Road GG Fort Garland is also available to be sold together with this property.
