About This Home
This stunning 660+/- acre mountain ranch is just minutes south of Poncha Springs and offers all the amenities of a premier Colorado high-country retreat. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the San Isabel National Forest, the surrounding Poncha Mountain rise to 10,121 feet, while Methodist Mountain reaches 11,689 feet and Cleveland Mountain stands at 9,659 feet. The ranch itself sits between 9,000 and 9,400 feet, offering incredible views, mountain beauty, and complete privacy. The Campbell Family Ranch features a picturesque mix of aspen, pine, and spruce trees interwoven with mountain meadows, all set in mild terrain with an excellent road system for easy access. Water rights include five adjudicated springs, 2 domestic wells, and a large pond. The ranch lies within GMU 82 and 86, areas renowned for big game hunting, including trophy mule deer, big bull elk, antelope, black bear, mountain lions, and turkeys. Over-the-counter bull elk tags are available for certain seasons, and the ranch qualifies for landowner deer vouchers. Ranch amenities include a fully furnished, 2,536 square-foot cabin with electricity and domestic water supplied by a spring. The property has year-round access via Highway 285, with seasonal access to the cabin. A conservation easement ensures the ranch will never be subdivided while allowing for the construction of two additional homes. Privacy, breathtaking views, abundant wildlife, and endless outdoor recreation—experience all four seasons in this mountain paradise!
