About This Lot

As of June 2025

The Government Springs Ranch captures the imagination – ponderosa pines, quaking aspen, and spruce trees cast long shadows over 60-70% of the ranch. Herds of elk, deer, turkey, bear, and mountain lion roam the understory while the snowcapped peaks of the San Juan mountains tower above the horizon. With six miles of national forest frontage, an abundance of trophy-quality game and readily available tags, the ranch is a superb hunting property. Unlike almost any other hunting/cattle ranch, Government Springs has year-round paved road access, borders a Greg Norman golf course, has full buried utilities, and is within minutes of a regional airport. Fly into Montrose, have dinner at Elk Mountain Resort (the neighbor to the north), hunt elk in the morning, and maintain a 3 o’clock tee time. This is a legacy ranch in a rapidly growing community. As an investment or a getaway, the Government Springs Ranch is one of the finest Colorado has to offer.
