Wapiti Ridge
Property Description
Situated in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Wapiti Ridge offers a rare chance to own a true hunting property in Southern Colorado. Positioned in Game Management Unit 85, this ranch is known for its strong populations of trophy elk and mule deer. The land features a mix of open meadows, dramatic rock outcroppings, and rolling timbered ridges of scrub oak, piñon, pine, and juniper—ideal habitat for elk, deer, bear, and turkey.
Elk, mule deer, bear, and turkey utilize the property year-round thanks to its diverse terrain that naturally provides water, cover, and feed. The ranch borders a substantial block of BLM land that’s surrounded by private parcels, creating a secluded and lightly pressured landscape. While the ranch itself totals 160± acres, its boundary with 542± acres of BLM land opens up access to more than 700± acres of uninterrupted country to hunt, hike, and explore.
Wapiti Ridge delivers both solid recreational value and lasting investment potential, making it an exceptional opportunity in southern Colorado’s big-game country.
