Located on the Little Snake River five (5) miles above the confluence with the Yampa River in Colorado’s remote northwest rangelands, the 741-acre Blue Star Ranch is a diverse secluded paradise with over a mile of river frontage, rich riparian bottomland habitat, and broad pinyon, juniper, and sage uplands. Surrounded on all sides by thousands of acres of public BLM (Bureau of Land Management) wilderness and one of the largest private ranches in the state, Blue Star Ranch serves as critical habitat for big game including elk, mule deer, and pronghorn. The modern and functional 2,325 sq. ft. log cabin is fully equipped and functional with off-grid solar and propane supported living, and enjoys spectacular views of both the Douglas Mountains to the west and Cross Mountain to the east. Colorado’s recently identified wolf pack has visited the ranch and the property is a seasonal home to the state’s largest migratory elk herd. With both significant conservation and development potential, Blue Star Ranch is an excellent long-term investment opportunity.
