Property Description

Brinker Creek Ranch is an exceptional agricultural property with a multitude of recreational opportunities located within easy reach of the Flat Tops Wilderness Area. The 1,451 deeded acres includes ~250 acres of irrigated hay meadows with substantial water rights, quality grazing on native rangeland, and habitat for diverse wildlife such as elk, mule deer, moose, pronghorn, waterfowl, and a variety of other species. A BLM lease of 280 acres increases the total operational acreage to 1,731 acres. The ranch typically produces ~290 tons of high quality grass hay, can carry ~250 cow-calf pair year-round, and allows for endless hiking, biking, riding, ATVs, snowshoeing, skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, and fishing. There are two homes on the property – a ranch house that was remodeled in 2019 to provide basic accommodations and a 2010 log cabin that is a cozy 2-bed/1-bath. The ranching attributes are protected by a conservation easement, and there is a 51-acre parcel near the current headquarters that is unencumbered offering potential for a new homesite with panoramic views. Portions of the property are currently enrolled in the Grassland CRP program creating a current revenue source. This ranch offers quality production with opportunities to expand capabilities along with unparalleled recreation, captivating scenery, and the benefits of rural living within easy reach of Steamboat Springs or the Vail Valley. The property is gated and not visible from the road. Appointments are required and the listing broker must be present to tour the property.
