About This Lot
Overview
Colorado Headwaters Ranch comprises 68.62± deeded acres of high-country wilderness in Grand County, Colorado, bordered on two sides by protected federal land. With direct adjacency to Rocky Mountain National Park and the Arapaho National Forest, the ranch sits in one of the most scenic and ecologically significant corridors in North America. Defined by lush riparian zones, sweeping valley views, and abundant water, this rare legacy property is a secluded yet accessible gateway to the Colorado Rockies.
Improvements
The property features an irrigated hay meadow which is utilized to maintain agricultural tax status. The property has well maintained ditches for irrigation and an updated spillway for the private lake. The property is currently unimproved but features two pad-ready building sites, buried electric to the property, and a domestic well. This blank canvas enables buyers to design and build their dream lodge, cabin compound, or conservation-minded retreat.
Location
The ranch is located along the eastern edge of Fall River Road (County Road 491), approximately 5 miles northwest of downtown Grand Lake. The last 1.15 miles of access is via an unpaved county-maintained road, providing year-round reach without sacrificing privacy.
Locale
Grand Lake is a historic mountain town renowned for its waterfront access to Grand Lake and Shadow Mountain Lake, and its role as the western gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. The surrounding area offers a rare mix of lake recreation, alpine wilderness, and small-town charm. The surrounding area is renowned as being a mecca for snowmobiling, ATVing and general outdoor recreation. Winter Park Resort, Devil’s Thumb Ranch, and multiple hot springs are all within an hour’s drive.
Climate
The area experiences a true alpine climate, with snowy winters and cool, dry summers. Elevations range around 8,500 to 9,000 feet, offering a comfortable growing season for native flora and a refuge from summer heat. Year-round water features and high precipitation zones contribute to a vibrant ecosystem.
