4927 COUNTY ROAD 5, Meeker, CO 81641 - Rio Blanco County

Settled between two steep and rugged ridge lines of the Roan Plateau, the 916 acre Cow Creek Gulch is the main drainage system of the Piceance Basin, which is highly regarded for its Big Game populations and hunting opportunities in North Western Colorado. The majority of the property is a near three mile meandering stretch of a highly vegetated valley floor that is flanked by a pair of ridge lines that rise over 1,000 feet in elevation. Each ridgeline hosts several drainage systems that support lush patches of Pine, Juniper, and Aspen tree pockets which create the preferred cover locations of Elk, Mule Deer, and Bear. When the drainage system and creek aren't flowing during drier cycles, the solar-powered water well can feed tanks and ponds along the valley floor. The cover of the trees and bordering forests set the stage for an ideal bowhunting setting, while the vast expanse of the valley floor and its varying features create an excellent rifle hunting experience. The headquarters portion of the property offers a 4,000 SF cabin and a 2,400 SF metal detached garage, along with plenty of room for future expansion, creating an opportunity to become a premier hunting lodge location. This property also offers a vast amount of expanded hunting access through the thousands of acres of BLM lands that border the property. The private asphalt drive and gated entry off of rural highway 5 provides exclusivity and security year-round. Years of unoccupancy along with the established habitat and the ruggedness of the bordering ridges has created a sanctuary for wildlife which will prove to be an excellent hunting property for years to come.
