Red Mesa Ranch South – 881 Acres of Secluded Trophy Hunting Land in La Plata County, CO Red Mesa Ranch sits at the end of County Road 106, secured by a gated entrance, and this offering includes 881 acres of prime hunting, farming, and privacy in La Plata County—just thirty minutes from Durango and the La Plata County Airport. The property lies within Game Management Unit 741, providing over-the-counter elk tags and two landowner buck tags per year. For more than 30 years, the ranch has been carefully managed for big game. Elk herds move through daily, mule deer browse in open meadows, and turkey, bear, dove, and mountain lion thrive in the property’s diverse habitat. Rolling farmland, winding arroyos, and timber blocks create excellent cover and year-round holding ground. Two permitted solar wells supply water across the ranch, while productive fields of wheat and safflower are rotated on a fallow schedule, generating income through a 75/25 lease split (income varies annually). Improvements on the 881 acres include an 80x60 metal shop with concrete floors and a one-bedroom, one-bath off-grid cabin with a spacious living room. The cabin is powered by solar, serviced by propane, and connected to a cistern with a pressure tank. Eight tower blinds and a network of trails make the property highly accessible on foot or by ATV. Bordered on three sides by the Southern Ute Reservation—renowned for its excellent trophy game management—the ranch benefits from unmatched seclusion, low hunting pressure, and neighboring habitat that supports world-class wildlife. Red Mesa Ranch will be offered as the 881-acre South Ranch, the 400-acre North Ranch, or as the complete 1,281-acre holding—providing flexibility for a variety of buyers.
