Description
Located on Raton Pass in southern Las Animas County, Colorado, this 73.49-acre ranch comprises two contiguous parcels and offers a combination of live water, equestrian infrastructure, usable grazing ground, and residential improvements. The property is well-positioned for buyers seeking a horse property, hunting property, or recreational ranch with convenient access while maintaining privacy and functionality.
The land features diverse terrain that includes open grazing meadows, stands of cottonwoods and pines, willow-lined riparian areas, and year-round live water provided by Raton Creek, which runs the full length of the property. Beaver ponds and natural wetland features along the creek enhance wildlife habitat and support consistent use by native species. The combination of water, forage, and cover creates a productive landscape suitable for livestock, horses, and wildlife alike.
Equestrian improvements are a central feature of the ranch. A large welded steel barn includes four finished horse stalls with attached outdoor runs, a tack room, and a heated workshop area. Wide drive-through doors provide ease of access for equipment, trailers, and livestock handling. The barn is equipped with power, water, and heat, allowing for year-round use. A round pen is located nearby, and additional outbuildings include a greenhouse and a chicken coop, supporting small-scale ranching, homesteading, or hobby farming operations.
The ranch is well-suited for grazing livestock and horses due to the presence of open pasture, live water, and functional fencing. Buyers should verify stocking rates and grazing capacity independently. The layout of the property allows for separation of residential, livestock, and recreational areas, adding flexibility for different uses.
The property is located within Colorado Game Management Unit 851 and offers hunting opportunities for elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, and mountain lion, subject to Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations. The Raton Pass corridor serves as a natural travel route for wildlife, and the creek bottom and surrounding cover contribute to regular game movement through the property.
Residential improvements include a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with approximately 3,600 square feet of living space. The home features high ceilings, abundant natural light, and wraparound outdoor living areas that take advantage of the surrounding landscape. Recent updates include a metal roof, steel siding, a large deck, and a lower patio area. Despite the property’s proximity to I-25, the home is positioned and screened in a manner that provides privacy and separation from the highway.
Water infrastructure includes a domestic well, cistern, and a water filtration system, supporting reliable water use for residential and ranch operations.
The property offers convenient access to Interstate 25 while remaining within a rural setting. Nearby towns provide access to services, supplies, and amenities. Trinidad is located to the south, while Walsenburg lies to the north, offering grocery stores, medical services, dining, and fuel.
This ranch presents an opportunity to acquire a manageable acreage with live water, equestrian facilities, residential improvements, and hunting potential in a well-known area of southern Colorado. The combination of horse infrastructure, recreational appeal, and year-round access makes this property suitable for a variety of rural land uses.
