Property Description
Welcome to the Western A Ranch, a remarkable luxury 557-acre holding set against the dramatic rise of Juniper Mountain! Pound for pound one of the finest recreational ranches on the market and delivers consistent success year after year across its diverse terrain and its direct access into public lands! The luxury hunting lodge and improvements are built for entertaining and the land is groomed to load up with game year around! Western A Ranch spans approximately 557 deeded acres of varied and scenic terrain at the foot of Juniper Mountain. The lower elevations feature a series of gentle open meadows and dryland alfalfa fields, enhancing wildlife habitat. The land then transitions into ascending ridges, benches, and rugged draws that climb toward Juniper Mountain. Pion-juniper, oak brush, and sagebrush blanket the hillsides, creating ideal wildlife habitat as it provides strong cover, bedding areas, and natural diversity. Natural springs replenish the pond and the many tanks scattered across the ranch, serving as dependable water sources for wildlife. Sweeping panoramic views stretch across the wide-open basin to distant mountain ranges, while the hillsides behind the ranch rise steeply, framing the improvements and creating a dramatic, protected setting. Roads and trails woven throughout the ranch provide excellent access to both the lower meadows and the higher elevations, making it easy to navigate, recreate, and enjoy every corner of the property. Located in GMU 211, the ranch offers exceptional hunting opportunities, with elk, mule deer, antelope, and various other wildlife frequently seen on the property and surrounding area throughout the year. This year-round presence contributes to consistently strong success rates during all hunting seasons. The ranch's position at the edge of expansive public lands is a defining feature, as it adjoins BLM ground, opening the door to additional hunting, hiking, and endless exploration directly from the property. Beyond the boundaries of the deeded acreage, the surrounding region offers an impressive range of outdoor recreation. Juniper Mountain and Little Juniper Mountain are both well-known for camping, hunting, and backcountry exploration. The Yampa River is a major highlight of the area, with multiple launch and takeout points that make it easy to enjoy a day on the water, whether fishing, swimming, or floating. For those looking to explore further, destinations such as Gates of Lodore, Irish Canyon, Sandwash Basin, and Dinosaur National Monument are all within an hour and a half, offering dramatic landscapes and unforgettable outdoor experiences. Positioned thoughtfully atop a private bench, the ranch headquarters includes a collection of well-maintained improvements designed for comfort, function, and year-round use. At its center sits the main residence, a spacious 4,794 sq ft home offering 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Its elevated setting provides sweeping views across the ranch, while its layout supports both full-time living and comfortable hosting. Nearby, a 1,320 sq ft guest cabin includes 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, offering additional accommodations for family, friends, visiting hunters, or a caretaker. A 2,280 sq ft shop provides ample space for equipment storage, vehicle parking, and general ranch operations. Additional structures on the property include various elevated hunting blinds positioned throughout the property, taking advantage of the ranch's natural vantage points and the wildlife-rich areas that see frequent activity. The setting offers a blend of practical ranch usability and peaceful residential comfort, all framed by the striking backdrop of Juniper Mountain.
