About This Home

Finding a mountain ranch that checks so many boxes is rare, but German Creek Ranch covers so much for the buyer who loves hunting, mountain views, and wildlife. Located below the towering Mount Lamborn, this 387± acre mountain retreat offers the perfect balance between outdoor adventure and refined mountain living. Whether you’re chasing trophy bucks or elk, seeking solitude and fresh air, or dreaming of a scenic, high-country home minutes from a charming small town this ranch has it all. • Water Resources: 1,858± shares of Lone Cabin Ditch Co plus two adjudicated springs, domestic water tap, a strong well and access to two high-country reservoirs • Improvements: 2,713± sq ft custom Canadian spruce log home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, caretaker’s home (1 bed, 1 bath), and a restored 1890s log cabin suitable for guest or rental use. • Hunting Access & Game Management: Trophy mule deer hunting in GMU 53, known for producing some of Colorado’s biggest bucks. Excellent elk, turkey & deer hunting; annual landowner buck tag eligibility. • Infrastructure & Accessibility: Year-round access with high-speed fiber internet; located 10± minutes from Paonia for supplies, dining, and services. • Land & Access: 387± deeded acres including approximately 50± irrigated acres, with direct access to adjoining BLM lands that connect to thousands of acres of National Forest and designated Wilderness. German Creek Ranch is a multi-use mountain ranch. For the avid outdoorsman, the property offers exceptional hunting for trophy mule deer, late-season elk, and turkeys. The ranch qualifies for Colorado’s Landowner Preference Program in GMU 53, where landowners often receive at least one highly coveted buck tag. Unit 53 is known for producing bucks up over 180 inches. German Creek sits directly in the mule deer migration route. As the snow falls some of the biggest bucks in the unit come right to this ranch for the rut and winter. Continuing to manage this property to maximize mule habitat you will see that you will pull in the best bucks in the unit. The property has been thoughtfully improved to support year-round living and agricultural use, with water rights that support irrigation of approximately 50–60 acres. German Creek flows through the ranch and there are water shares in two mountain reservoirs and multiple natural adjudicated springs. Built with Canadian spruce logs the main home features a cathedral ceiling great room, open kitchen, cozy downstairs bedrooms, and a luxurious upstairs master suite with a five-piece bath and custom tilework. Downstairs includes a storage area, workshop, and mechanical room. The captivating framework of this beautiful log home is the covered deck that wraps around three sides of the home, providing a great place to enjoy the views, sunsets, and wildlife. At the ranch entrance, sits two historic buildings: a well-kept 1930’s miner’s cottage (great for a caretaker or rental), and an 1890’s log cabin that can be run as a short-term rental or as a guesthouse. While offering mountain valley seclusion and breathtaking scenery, German Creek Ranch is only 9± minutes from Paonia, one of Western Colorado’s most welcoming small towns. Home to organic farms, vineyards, artisan shops, and cafes, Paonia blends the best of rural lifestyle with a diverse, connected supportive community.
