Description
160.34 Acres | GMU 71 | Near Ground Hog Reservoir | Dolores, Colorado
This 160.34-acre gated property, located in Game Management Unit 71, offers a rare combination of hunting potential, recreational value, and long-term land investment opportunity in Southwest Colorado.
Known for its trophy mule deer and over-the-counter elk tags, GMU 71 is one of the state’s most reliable big game units. The property could also qualify for the Colorado Landowner Preference Program (LPP), giving landowners enhanced access to big game licensing draws.
Situated just 15 minutes from Ground Hog Reservoir and 35 minutes from the iconic Western town of Dolores, this parcel is also within close proximity to the San Juan National Forest, providing nearby access to hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. The terrain includes open meadows, arroyos, and a healthy mix of gambel oak, piñon, and ponderosa pine — excellent habitat for elk, mule deer, black bear and coyotes. The property also borders Beaver Mountain Ranch, a large private holding that serves as a well-established migratory corridor for elk into the subject property.
Key improvements on the property include:
-A new Muddy hunting blind, strategically placed for visibility
-A spray-foam insulated metal shop with gravel floors, RV hookups, and generator-ready power access
-A rustic one-room cabin with a loft (no bathroom or kitchen) suitable for seasonal use or gear storage
-Two year-round ponds that support wildlife and potential livestock use
-Perimeter fencing and gated access for privacy and security
-A proven track record as a successful hunting ranch
Whether you’re looking for a private hunting retreat, a recreational getaway, or a strategic land investment, this property offers a strong combination of location, terrain, wildlife activity, and flexibility in use.
