Property Description

Bishop Canyon South is a 631± acre property that provides quality agriculture and hunting opportunities in the breathtaking landscapes of Southwestern Colorado.  The property can be combined with Biship Canyon North (657± acres) for additional acreage. There are 215± acres of agriculture on the property that can provide income, and also attracts Elk and Mule Deer for high quality hunting.  Surrounding the ag fields is diverse terrain including cliffs, draws, pinions, junipers, sagebrush, and native grasses.  A private trail system allows for good access and mobility.  The property delivers stunning panoramic views of Colorado and Utah mountains.

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 (multiple dirt tanks), along with plenty of feed from the ag fields, support thriving wildlife.  Two elevated Muddy blinds are currently in position overlooking ag fields and draws.

Bishop Canyon South is framed by the La Sal, San Juan, and Abajo Mountains, Uncompahgre Plateau, and Disappointment Valley.  There is year-round access off 6HS Road (where power is located), and the property is partially fenced.  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.
