18010 Highway 285, Nathrop, CO 81236 - Chaffee County

Historic ranch located in the middle of Chaffee County between the thriving towns of Salida and Buena Vista. Established with the homestead decree in 1871, today the ranch has 911.70 acres including the irrigated meadows along U. S. Highway 285 surrounded by wooded hillsides with innumerable building sites tucked into the trees for privacy. The homestead served as a post office for nearly 50 years and remains in good condition with many outbuildings. This is one of the most scenic ranches in the entire State of Colorado with 360-degree views of the 14,000 foot Collegiate Peaks. Owned by the same family for 64 years managed and shared with elk, deer, antelope, and bear. This is a rare opportunity to own a large ranch in Chaffee County that has limited private property.
