Description
Oak Meadows offers approximately 153± acres of recreational and hunting land in northwest Colorado. This property sits in an area noted for consistent wildlife presence and features a rare combination of terrain, cover, and access. Multiple ponds and natural wallows are spread across the acreage, creating reliable water sources that support movement from local big game populations. Elk are regularly observed in this area and are known to use the grassy bottoms, bedding cover, and shaded timber pockets located on and around the parcel.
A defining element of Oak Meadows is a draw that extends from the NW corner of the property and rises into public lands to the west. This terrain feature provides not only natural travel corridors for wildlife but also practical access for hiking or low-impact travel into tens of thousands of acres of Bureau of Land Management land. This access corridor creates additional recreational use without requiring public road entry points. Trail segments already exist and assist movement from the lower meadows to elevated terrain leading into larger landscapes.
Oak, pinon, and other native species make up the primary vegetation on the deeded land, with heavier timber appearing, including Ponderosa Pine and Aspen, once you reach the public ground above. A mixture of grass and open understory allows for glassing and observation, while thicker cover provides bedding areas and security cover for wildlife. This variety in habitat structure gives the land a versatile recreational profile suitable for hunting, hiking, camping, or general outdoor use.
The ponds and wallows are both year-round and seasonal in nature, supported by runoff patterns and local hydrology. They create predictable wildlife use points and contribute to the diversity of habitat available. The grassy bottoms along the main drainage make for a comfortable and scenic hike, gradually transitioning into steeper slopes that connect with public acreage beyond.
The parcel is located within Colorado's Big Game Unit 22, offering both draw and over-the-counter opportunities, depending on species and season structure. A history of wildlife use is visible through tracks, trails, and vegetation patterns. The property sits at an elevation consistent with surrounding range conditions.
Nearby towns include Meeker, with services and amenities available within a reasonable drive. Rifle and Interstate 70 also remain accessible, which expands access to supplies, airports, and lodging options. Grand Junction and Eagle regional airports are the nearest commercial options. Power availability sits along nearby road corridors, though buyers should verify installation requirements and feasibility. Water well research would be appropriate for any residential development planning. All mineral interests owned by the seller will convey.
Property boundaries are approximate and should be confirmed by a survey if needed. Some photographs depict adjacent public land and surrounding features that users of Oak Meadows may access directly from the property. This area was not impacted by the 2025 fires and maintains intact vegetation and cover. Oak Meadows provides a recreational base with private acreage and walk-in access into expansive public lands.
