3960 County Rd 5, Fairplay, CO 80440

Description

Rare opportunity to own an approximately 300-acre ranch in South Park, Colorado. Located at about 9,000 feet and just 7 miles from Fairplay, this fenced and cross-fenced property features a 1,900+ sq. ft. home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and two decks, including a private deck off the primary bedroom. Two barns, live water, extensive livestock improvements and year-round access make this a versatile working ranch or mountain retreat. The property is only minutes from pavement on an exceptionally well-maintained county road, surrounded by larger ranches and just 2 miles from Pike National Forest access.

Previously operated as a 30-horse boarding facility and later leased for cattle grazing, the ranch includes corrals, tack rooms, a large hay barn with capacity for two flatbed loads of small square bales, and a horse barn with double-access stalls, indoor veterinary area, shop space, office or tack room, storage and adjacent fifth-wheel storage.

The home received a new roof, flooring and carpeting this summer. A spring-fed water system serves the home and livestock, with an installed cistern and pump house providing dependable year-round water. Expansive mountain views surround the property.

Registered with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the ranch qualifies for landowner hunting privileges in GMU 49. Ride from the property along county roads to nearby Pike National Forest trailheads or trailer minutes to thousands of acres of public land for horseback riding, hiking, ATVing, hunting and snowmobiling. Enjoy nearby fishing at the Dream Stream, Eleven Mile, Spinney Mountain and Antero reservoirs, plus miles of Gold Medal waters. Breckenridge is within easy reach for skiing, with Denver and Colorado Springs also accessible. A rare legacy ranch with room to ranch, ride, hunt, fish and explore.
