Description

The Waunita Park Ranch, consisting of 6,500 +/- deeded acres, is an exceptional property offered in central Colorado only 26 miles east of Gunnison with a diverse array of features and opportunities. The traditional ranching operations including cow-calf and hay production supported by extensive USFS leases and BLM and State Leases, the Waunita Park Ranch is highly versatile. Spanning from alpine forests and high mountain grass range meadows to sagebrush steppes and highly productive mountain meadow hay land with abundant adjudicated water rights and reservoir storage rights, the property is a haven for diverse activities. This fully staffed ranch includes comprehensive services for operations, housekeeping, groundskeeping, landscaping, and snow removal, ensuring seamless management for new owners. The ranch management plan simplifies the transition process, while the tax and appreciation benefits of large agricultural land holdings add financial incentives. Conservation easement opportunities provide potential cash benefits, and development possibilities range from co-ownership arrangements to traditional development. The ranch boasts outfitting for elk and mule deer hunting, complete with landowner preference licenses, as well as Airbnb potential and facilities suitable for weddings and other events. It also has the potential to serve as a membership community amenity ranch, featuring a rod and gun club. The nearby Wanita Hot Springs offers additional guest ranch services, including geothermal hot springs, horseback riding, four-wheeling, and snowmobiling. Such ranches are increasingly rare, making this an exceptional buy-and-hold investment for families or corporate entities, with its appreciation alone justifying the initial investment. The Waunita Park Ranch is situated in the Gunnison Valley, just 26 miles east of Gunnison, Colorado, near the notable Tomichi Dome. The property is surrounded by over 1.6 million acres of Gunnison National Forest, BLM, and state land. Accessible year-round via Highway 50 and County Road 887, a maintained gravel road, the ranch offers convenient access. Gunnison (GUC) provides private and commercial air service with regular flights to Denver, and seasonal flights to Houston and Dallas. The runway is 9,400 by 150. Denver International Airport (DIA), a regional hub for domestic and international flights, is just four hours (215 miles) from the ranch. The expansive 10,000 square foot main lodge was constructed in 1992, and later completely remodeled, and was designed to accommodate over 20 guests. The commercial kitchen and expansive dining room connecting with the main living room allow for catering to large groups of guests and family. There are several gathering spaces including a spacious living room, a pool table room, a secondary living room off of the primary suite, a smaller dining room attached to the kitchen, and a large mudroom off of the garage with storage and seating. There is an attached 3-car garage along with a separate heated shop with processing facilities and a commercial refrigerator and freezer for game. In addition to the lodge, there are three exceptional guest houses with over 12,000 square feet between them. There are manager's residences, shops and working improvements in several locations on the ranch.
