Location and Accessibility

Red Mountain Ranch provides a rare combination of seclusion and convenience. While its setting offers unparalleled privacy, the property is just 15± miles from Creede, Colorado, a historic mining town with year-round amenities. The ranch also features year-round access for ease of use in all seasons. Rhoda’s Arch, a shelter natural arch caused from erosion through a ridge of trachyte can be viewed from the Red Mountain Ranch. Due to the remoteness and legal access, Red Mountain Ranch is one of the few places that provides a viewpoint of the arch.

Recreation and Investment

This property is located in Game Management Unit 76, a highly sought-after area for big game hunting, offering landowner tags through the Landowner Preference Program for elk and mule deer.

This unit is considered one of the best in the region for hunting moose and elk, making it a prime location for outdoor enthusiasts.
