STAGECOACH VALLEY RANCH | 591± ACRES | SURROUNDED BY NATIONAL FOREST Rarely does a property offer the privacy and character of Stagecoach Valley Ranch. Located between Pagosa Springs and Bayfield along Highway 160, this 591± acre ranch is completely surrounded by National Forest and stretches approximately 1.7 miles up a secluded private valley. With no neighboring development surrounding the property, the ranch offers an extraordinary sense of privacy and permanence. The valley lies within a natural wildlife migration corridor where hundreds of elk, mule deer, and turkey move through the surrounding country. Located in an over-the-counter hunting unit 77, and qualifies for Colorado's Landowner Preference Program for potential annual mule deer vouchers, the ranch offers exceptional recreational and hunting opportunities. Water is an important feature, with decreed ditch water rights, existing irrigation infrastructure, and a pressurized system capable of operating large-gun irrigation cannons when water supplies allow. Yellowjack Creek travels the length of the ranch, disappearing and reappearing along the valley, while Snow Creek runs year-round through portions of the southern end. The valley has continued to produce feed and pasture through recent drought years, although irrigation production varies with annual water availability. History is woven throughout the property, with numerous historic barns and structures remaining from the area's stagecoach era. A 1940s ranch house, supplied by a private well, is offered as-is, where-is. A secluded potential homesite provides the opportunity to build a new mountain residence overlooking the valley, with elk potentially grazing just outside your windows. The surrounding ridgelines feature dramatic rock outcroppings, caves, timbered slopes, and expansive National Forest. The ranch is conveniently located near the recreation, hot springs, skiing, hunting, fishing, and mountain-town amenities of Pagosa Springs and Durango. 591± acres. Private valley. National Forest all around. Wildlife, water, history, and the opportunity to create a legacy ranch in Southwest Colorado. Stagecoach Valley Ranch is not encumbered by a conservation easement.
