Vacant Land

Located northwest of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and a short drive from the regional airport in Hayden, LJ Ranch is 1520 acres of high mountain land. With numerous ridges and valleys, the ranch is among the best hunting properties in the area. The acreage consists primarily of aspen and fern forests with a good mix of pine forests and small pockets of open meadows. Numerous ponds attract wildlife; they are spaced around the ranch and keep the herds well-dispersed. The owners have a history of successful hunts and have carefully managed it to maximize the potential. Not only is the ranch well suited for prime big-game hunting, it is located in one of the most scenic areas of Northwest Colorado.
