Agate Creek Inholding

Ranch Description

The Agate Creek Inholding is a rare find in today's market- secluded, private, and surrounded by vast public lands. Nestled in a picturesque valley, the property is bisected by the spring-fed Agate Creek, providing a water source for wildlife and irrigating the property's alpine meadows. Above the valley floor, the property rises into rolling ridges blanketed in Aspen, Bristlecone Pine, Douglas Fir, and Engelmann Spruce, creating a breathtaking mountain landscape. Multiple potential homesites showcase stunning views of the Collegiate Peaks, where fourteen-thousand-foot summits tower over the horizon. Extremely unique is the property's 360-Degree border with Pike National Forest, which provides immediate access to over 1,000,000 acres of public lands ripe with recreational opportunity. Hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, camping, off-roading/ATVing, and a variety of Winter sports can all be enjoyed on the ranch and in the adjacent Forest lands. For the avid big game hunter, the Agate Creek Inholding offers exceptional value. Located in Game Management Unit 58, the property is eligible for and has historically been enrolled in Colorado's Landowner Preference Program, which provides big-game licenses on a preferential basis. The area is home to mule deer, elk, pronghorn, black bear, and a variety of small game. Access to the ranch is available from three directions Forest Road 107 approaches from the south, while Forest Road 108 provides access from both the north and west, ensuring convenient access from nearly anywhere. At approximately two hours from Denver and an hour and a half from Colorado Springs, the property can be readily enjoyed as a Front Range retreat. Single-parcel inholdings such as this are rarely available and command a private setting unmatched even by significantly larger private holdings.
