Reverse C Ranch

Farm Description

Introducing the Reverse C Ranch, a landmark 6,576-Acre combined offering that unites the Western A Ranch and the 3D Mountain Ranch into one extraordinary recreational and hunting property. Set along the southern and eastern flanks of Juniper Mountain, the ranch forms a sweeping U-shaped landscape that captures the full range of what makes northwest Colorado so coveted big views, bigger game, and exceptional privacy.

Land

Reverse C Ranch spans 6,576 deeded acres, augmented by 6,505 acres of BLM and state leases, creating an extraordinary contiguous property. The Western A Ranch portion encompasses 677 acres of varied terrain, blending open meadows and dryland alfalfa fields with gently rolling sagebrush, ascending ridgelines, and rugged draws. Hillsides covered in pi on-juniper and oak brush rise toward the slopes of Juniper Mountain, creating a landscape rich in scenery and habitat. Natural springs, water tanks, and a pond provides dependable water sources for wildlife and livestock alike. The 3D Mountain Ranch portion encompasses 5,899 acres of dramatic rock outcroppings, broad flat benches, deep cedar-studded draws, and rugged finger canyons, complete with historic homestead cabins and livestock corrals, offering a glimpse into the property's rich ranching heritage. The 3D Mountain Ranch portion has historically run both sheep and cattle across it's deeded acreage, bolstered by additional BLM and state leases, abundant water sources, and varied elevations that accommodate seasonal grazing. Together, the combined offering features the potential to run a seamless operation.

The combined acreage provides exceptional topographic diversity, with lowland meadows transitioning into steep ridgelines, finger canyons, cedar-covered benches, and expansive open vistas. Water is abundant throughout the property, with multiple springs, ponds, and direct access to the Yampa River supporting wildlife and livestock. Trails and roads woven throughout the ranch provide year-round access to every corner of the property, making it easy to navigate, explore, and fully enjoy the terrain. Elk, mule deer, antelope, and other wildlife are present year-round, with the adjoining public lands offering additional travel corridors and hunting opportunities directly from the ranch.

Improvements

The headquarters, located on the Western A portion of the ranch, is set atop a private bench with sweeping views across the basin and up toward the surrounding ridgelines. The main residence spans approximately 4,794 square feet and includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, designed for both comfort and functionality in a year-round ranch environment. Its elevated placement provides a commanding vantage point over the meadows, fields, and lower country. Nearby, a 1,320-Square-Foot guest cabin offers two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms, providing ideal accommodations for visiting hunters, family, friends, or caretakers. A 2,280-Square-Foot shop services the operational needs of the ranch with ample space for equipment, vehicles, and general storage. In addition, a series of elevated hunting blinds have been strategically placed to maximize the ranch's natural travel corridors and wildlife-rich pockets. The setting around the improvements blends functional ranch usability with peaceful residential comfort, all framed by the dramatic uplift of Juniper Mountain.

Recreation

The Reverse C Ranch offers exceptional year-round recreation across its expansive landscape. Situated in GMU 211, the property provides over-the-counter elk tags along with landowner vouchers for deer and antelope, and both ranch sections are recognized for their proven hunting terrain and consistently strong wildlife populations. The Yampa River delivers opportunities for fishing, floating, and summer swimming, while the ranch's numerous ponds and natural springs serve as vital water sources that support both livestock and wildlife. An extensive network of trails and internal roads grants Atv, horseback, off-roading, and hiking access through dramatic vistas, cedar-filled draws, and broad mountain benches. Beyond the ranch boundaries, a 90-minute radius opens the door to adventures throughout northwest Colorado, including Dinosaur National Monument, the Gates of Lodore, Irish Canyon, Sandwash Basin, and Browns Park, positioning the Reverse C Ranch in a premier location within the region.
