The Pounds Ranch is a quintessential slice of the American West, offering an exceptional blend of natural beauty and practical amenities on it's 485-acre expanse. The ranch boasts a stunning view of Greenhorn Mountain and easy access to I-25. One of the ranch's unique features is its 196-acre foot water storage right in Bonnie Meade Lake. The ranch's fully fenced perimeter enhances security and privacy, creating a safe haven for both animals and owners. The property is easily accessible year-round, thanks to its county road frontage, just minutes from Colorado City, a quaint town in the foothills of the wet mountains. Additionally, the presence of power and a livestock well on-site further enhances the ranch's functionality and self-sufficiency. For those interested in recreation and outdoor activities, the combination of fertile grasslands and abundant water resources creates an ideal habitat for big game hunting. The surrounding terrain and climate support a diverse range of wildlife. The ranch is a short drive from the San Isabel National Forest, offering hiking trails, hunting, and fishing opportunities. Importantly, the Pounds Ranch does not have a conservation easement, which means the property is free from restrictive land use limitations. This flexibility allows the new owner to fully realize their vision for the ranch, whether that involves expanding agricultural operations, developing additional infrastructure, or simply enjoying the land as it is.
