SUMMARY
This trophy ranch is located just 45 minutes from Breckenridge! With some of the best hunting in the
state, the Deer Creek Ranch is part of the magnificent, mountainous landscape located just west of
the Continental Divide. The 880+ lush acres consist of two usable cabins, meadows, wetlands,
several wildlife species from turkeys to bears, and much more! Endless recreational opportunities,
seasonal cattle ranching, and a HUNTING PARADISE!
Location
Deer Creek Ranch is located in the mountains of Colorado, Northwest of Denver near the town of
Kremmling, which is home to McElroy Airfield. McElroy accommodates large private aircraft. The
quaint town of Kremmling has all the necessities including groceries, gas, hardware, and restaurants
all within approximately 10 minutes from the ranch. The ranch is surrounded by vast tracts of
undeveloped public (federal and state) and private lands, providing necessary habitat and
migration corridors for the many wildlife species that inhibit the property.

HISTORY
Seasonal cattle ranching and hunting have been the primary historic and current land uses on the
property. In the most recent years, the property was used for livestock (cattle and horse) grazing.
Annually, on average, you can graze 250 to 500 cattle pair during the months of mid-July to late-
September. There is a log cabin from the early 1900s along the access road. Smith Ditch has
historically diverted water from Red Dirt Creek (south of the property) and discharged it into the
South Fork of Deer Creek for downstream use on private lands east the property.
ACRES/STRUCTURES
The very useable cabins and a tool shed sit on the east boundary of the ranch. One cabin, measuring
25 feet by 35 feet, is a log cabin on three sides. The other cabin is a wood frame and measures 14 feet
by 20 feet. The wood frame tool shed measures 12 feet by 20 feet. All three structures are within
close proximity to each other.

Wildlife Resources
The Deer Creek Ranch is truly blessed with some of the best hunting opportunities in Colorado
including, trophy elk, deer, pronghorn, and bears. In addition to these prize animals there are many
other species including Bobcat, Turkey, Mountain Lion and several species of birds. Several water
sources including wallows coupled with high mountain meadows, dark timber, and aspens make
this a sanctuary for both animals and hunting. The ranch is also granted two deer tags and two
pronghorn tags seasonally with the potential to be granted as many as four for each species.

Improvements
The outside boundaries of the entire property are fenced; Grand County Road 17 crosses the
property in the southeastern corner of Tract 51. This is the major access road into the southern
portion of the ranch. From this road, a secondary 4WD road accesses the Smith Ditch. Deer Creek
Ranch has also had all the necessary work done to put a conservation easement that still allows
three five acre building sites, for the future land owner to exercise if he/she wanted to do so.
