Property Description

Bishop Canyon Ranch is a 1,288± acres productive agriculture and hunting property consisting of two parcels (Bishop Canyon North 657± acres, and Bishop Canyon South 631± acres) nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Southwestern Colorado.  The property delivers stunning panoramic views of Colorado and Utah and sits adjacent to thousands of acres of BLM public land.  This is a secluded property with diverse terrain—cliffs, draws, pinions, junipers, sagebrush, and native grasses—plus a private trail system and year-round access via county roads with power available.

There is prime hunting in the area (GMU 711) and on the property, featuring B&C Mule Deer (resident and migratory, with 200”+ bucks harvested) and robust Elk herds (300”+ bulls, including migratory 350”+ from Utah). The property qualifies for Landowner Preference Program (LPP) Mule Deer vouchers, which can be sold, while Elk tags are OTC for 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons. Additional game includes mountain lion, black bear, turkey, and small game. Water sources on the property (seasonal dirt tanks and a year-round spring with pond), along with plenty of feed and bedding habitat, support thriving wildlife.  

Bishop Canyon Ranch is framed by the La Sal, San Juan, and Abajo Mountains, Uncompahgre Plateau, and Disappointment Valley.  There is year-round access to Bishop Canyon North off Highway 141 (where power is located), and Bishop Canyon South off 6HN Road.  The property is just hours from Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, and Glen Canyon. Nearby towns like Dove Creek (15-20 mins), Cortez (45 mins), and Durango (1 hr 25 mins) offer amenities, while Moab (1 hr 30 mins) and Telluride (2 hrs) add adventure. Bishop Canyon North is a beautiful hunter’s paradise and a gateway to iconic Southwestern landscapes.
