Description
Located on Raton Pass in southern Las Animas County, Colorado, this 73.49-acre ranch for sale offers the perfect combination of hunting property, horse property, and live water acreage. Spread across two contiguous parcels, the land features diverse terrain with open grazing meadows, stands of cottonwoods and pines, lush willows, and year-round live water from Raton Creek running the full length of the property.
A spacious welded steel barn highlights the equestrian improvements, offering four finished horse stalls with outdoor runs, a heated workshop, a tack room, and a round pen. With wide drive-through doors, water access, power, and heat, the setup is ideal for horses, cattle, or small-scale ranching operations. Additional outbuildings include a greenhouse and a chicken coop, creating opportunities for homesteading or hobby farming.
This Colorado ranch is well-suited for multiple uses—equestrian operations, grazing livestock, hobby ranching, hunting, and recreation. Situated in Colorado Game Management Unit (GMU) 851, the property offers excellent hunting for elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, wild turkey, bear, and mountain lion. Raton Creek, with its beaver ponds and diverse riparian habitat, attracts consistent wildlife activity, while the property’s location near I-25 serves as a natural corridor for migrating game. Despite easy highway access, the home is thoughtfully tucked away and completely hidden, ensuring privacy and seclusion.
The 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath, 3,600 sq. ft. home provides high ceilings, abundant natural light, and wraparound outdoor living space. Recent updates include a durable metal roof, steel siding, a large deck, and a lower patio. A domestic well, cistern, and water filtration system deliver reliable off-grid capability, supporting a self-sufficient Colorado ranch lifestyle.
This unique offering blends usable acreage, equestrian facilities, hunting opportunities, and live water frontage into one well-rounded property. For those looking to own a private Colorado hunting ranch, horse property, or recreational getaway, this ranch delivers unmatched versatility and natural beauty.
