Situated in southern Colorado, the Burnt River Ranch is located approximately 25 minutes southwest of Pueblo, and northeast of the Wet Mountain Range. It is composed of 560 contiguous acres of gently rolling prairie and trees that are bisected by a beautiful canyon that hosts several springs and seeps.

Improvements

Improvements include a beautiful 3,500 square foot custom home, a large shop, and a custom-built horse barn with tack room, hay storage, and greenhouse. The ranch is perimeter fenced and boasts a generous amount of horse safe wood and steel fencing.

Climate

The area most generally experiences mild winters and summers, with low humidity conditions, and 300+ days of Colorado sunshine per year.

Hunting

The Burnt River Ranch is home to several big game species which include elk, mule deer, and pronghorn. The ranch is located within Colorado Game Management Unit 84, which allows for potential landowner hunting vouchers for up to all three of those species.

There is currently a month-to-month cattle grazing lease in place with a neighboring ranch owner.

Conservation Value
