2900 Major Ranch Rd Walsenburg, CO 81089

Welcome to Prescott Ranch, a remarkable legacy property totaling 3,558.94 acres, consisting of 2,918.94 deeded acres and an additional 640 acres of recreational state lease, located in southeast Colorado. Set amid the untamed landscapes of the region, this expansive ranch combines premier big game hunting, productive cattle grazing, and sweeping vistas of Silver Mountain, Mount Mestas, and the iconic Spanish Peaks.

Prescott Ranch is rich in natural diversity, featuring arroyos and rolling terrain blanketed with mature pinon pines, scrub oak, and cedar. The land is well-watered with multiple wells, seasonal dirt tanks, and a robust internal road system. Full perimeter fencing provides excellent access and ease of management.

Hunting on the ranch is exceptional, with a resident elk herd and frequent visits from migratory herds. In addition to elk, the property supports mule deer, black bear, mountain lion, pronghorn, and turkey. Located in Colorado GMU 85, this well-regarded unit offers favorable terrain for spot-and-stalk hunting and is especially attractive due to over-the-counter elk tags-available to residents for archery, 2nd rifle, and 3rd rifle seasons. The property also qualifies for landowner vouchers for deer and pronghorn, enhancing its recreational value.

Improvements include a new 1,543 sq ft modular home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a mudroom, and large windows framing stunning mountain views. Recent upgrades include landscaping, a freshly installed driveway, backup generator, and an attached two-car garage. A nearby 60x40 shop with concrete floor and attached lean-to provides additional equipment or livestock storage.

This property is more than land-it's a smart investment with rare potential. As well-located development properties grow scarce, Prescott Ranch offers a unique chance to meet the rising demand for mountain living. It's also a strong candidate for a conservation easement, protecting land, wildlife, and water while offering valuable financial perks like sellable tax credits and federal deductions. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a true Southern Colorado legacy ranch.
