Wales Canyon Ranch

Land Description

Wales Canyon Ranch is a unique find in South Central Colorado, located 15 miles west of Pueblo and 24 miles south of Canyon City. The 759.5 acre ranch is comprised of canyons and mesas, and an impressive variety of habitat, from native grasslands on the high mesas to cottonwood lined creek bottoms. Topography on the ranch includes blue spruce shadowed rims, ponderosa canyon walls, oak brush mesas, and pinon and cedar rims. The ranch has picturesque backdrops of the stunning skylines of the San Isabel National Forest and the high peaks of the Big and Little Red Buttes, Pikes Peak, and Greenhorn Peak. Wales Canyon Ranch is in the highly sought-after trophy big game unit, GMU 84, and qualifies for landowner preference big-game licenses. The land, location, and active water on the ranch, coupled with the 6,300 to 6,700 in elevation, provide outstanding wildlife habitat. With the diverse terrain and variety of habitats, Wales Canyon Ranch is naturally home to a strong population of Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope, Black Bear, Mountain Lion, and a full variety of small game and birds. The owner has actively worked to protect the ranch and the historic agricultural uses. Wales Canyon Ranch is under a well written agricultural conservation easement protecting future owners, and the ranch's agricultural uses. Improvements on the ranch include cross fencing and productive water well. Water is piped to several stock tanks across the ranch, making it a prime location to run cattle. Two premier, well-identified building envelopes allow for the future landowner to develop the land in a way that takes advantage of the ranchs natural offerings. Other than the raw beauty of the Wales Canyon Ranch and its diverse terrain, the huge 360-Degree views accent the ranchs eastern-facing slope from the days first beams of the morning sun to a starlit night sky. Wales Canyon Ranch is a rare find in todays busy world.
