Big Cimarron River Ranch
Offered by Harrigan Land Company, this Colorado beauty now offers a reduced price tag of $2,975,000.
“Cimarron” means “wild” in Spanish, and the Big Cimarron River Ranch in southwest Colorado uniquely combines wildness and comfort in a 391-acre package. Surrounded by spectacular cliffs, rock pinnacles and 12,000-foot peaks, the Big Cimarron River Ranch lies in a setting right out of a Hollywood Western, yet offers all the comforts of home in three beautifully-appointed cabins. Wildlife like mule deer, elk and black bear frequent the ranch, and nearly a mile of trout-filled river tumbles through the property. Power, phone, year-round access and adjoining public land makes this piece of wild Colorado as attractive of a mountain retreat as can be found.
The Big Cimarron River Ranch is located approximately 16 miles south of the community of Cimarron, in the northern San Juan Mountains. Just up the valley lies Silver Jack Reservoir and thousands of acres of the Uncompahgre Wilderness in the Uncompahgre National Forest. Black Canyon National Park and the thriving small city of Montrose, with daily jet service, are but an hour away to the northwest. Nearby recreational opportunities comprise a embarrassment of riches: everything from hiking, jeeping, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, rock climbing, backpacking, wildlife photography, stream and lake fishing, big game hunting, mountain biking and even windsurfing are all available within an hour’s drive. If you enjoy a variety of outdoor recreation, you won’t be bored at the Big Cimarron River Ranch!
The Ranch ranges in elevation from 8500 to 9500 feet, and features extensive forests of aspen, spruce and fir. Open areas contain grasses and sagebrush, and are ideal locales for spotting elk and mule deer in the mornings and evenings. Nearly a mile of the Big Cimarron River flows through the ranch and is home to four species of trout. The action is fast and furious for 9- to 14-inch trout, and 100-fish days are possible. Abundant wild rainbows, brookies, browns and cutthroats eager to rise to a fly makes this an exciting stretch of river for novices and experts alike.
Lovingly managed as a family retreat for years, the Big Cimarron River Ranch is as comfortable as it is spectacular. Three cabins overlook the river, the largest with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath. Two smaller cabins contain beds and baths. All are set in well-kept, parklike grounds. Each cabin is carefully decorated in handpicked Western Americana furnishings. The ranch is a wonderful retreat as-is, but would also be an ideal location for a lodge or further-developed resort.
“Wild” and “comfort” don’t often go together in the same property. But they do at the Big Cimarron River Ranch. Harrigan Land Company is ready to meet you here and help you dream of the possibilities.

Buying a ranch in the west in today’s market has brought on a new meaning to investing in land. With the value in many other investment options fluctuating drastically from week to week, property is looking more and more like a safe harbor for money. Looming inflation combined with excellent value opportunities have convinced many buyers to invest in a recreational ranch. In addition to value, recent buyers have pointed to the fact that recreational ranches are a finite commodity, there are fewer every year and they can be enjoyed during ownership as one of our clients observed, “Ranches are the one real estate product that there are fewer of every year. Even with beach front real estate, there is the opportunity to saturate the market by continued development as we’ve seen over the past decade. I feel safe investing in a quality recreational ranch because I know that next year there will be fewer, and my ranches give my family a place to gather and have fun.”

Beaver Valley Ranch
Offered by Harrigan Land Company, this Routt County, Colorado beauty now offers a price tag of $12,750,000.
Hidden in the heart of one of Colorado’s last unspoiled mountain valleys, Beaver Valley Ranch is tailor-made for hunting and fishing of exceptional quality. Beaver Valley Ranch lies less than an hour southwest of Steamboat Springs, and nestles against Routt National Forest on the flanks of the Beaver Flat Tops. Blessed with a diverse mosaic of aspen and oak brush groves, heavy timber, mountain meadows, riverine woods, springs and lakes, the ranch has been managed specifically for high-quality big game and trout habitat.
Mule deer and elk have responded well to the habitat maintained by Beaver Valley Ranch. Healthy herds of both species have room to roam on its 2665 acres, and have access to a huge portion of the Routt National Forest, with which the ranch shares a 2 mile boundary.
4.5 miles of the East Fork of the Williams Fork River, an unsung trophy trout stream, flow through the ranch’s cottonwood and spruce bottomlands. With excellent natural trout habitat and a superb aquatic insect population, the East Fork supports strong populations of rainbow and cutthroat trout that grow to over 20 inches. Water rights on the ranch are excellent, with over 11 CFS dedicated to irrigate approximately 300 acres, and 19 adjudicated springs, several of which have the potential to be developed into fishing ponds.
Beaver Valley Ranch is blessed with excellent accommodations to serve the needs of family, friends or even a corporate retreat at any season of the year. Included on the property are a spacious three-bedroom, three-bath owner’s log home, a new two-bedroom, two-bath guest cabin, a three-bedroom manager’s house and a fisherman’s cabin at streamside. Beaver Valley Ranch is served by both power and phone.
Accessible year-round, Beaver Valley Ranch is only a 30-minute drive from daily commercial air service.

Recently, an acquaintance and I were talking shop—ranches—when he volunteered the answer to the question of why buy an Oregon ranch. He was a good one to listen to, as he had shopped at least five other states. And his answer was simple: VALUE. He believed, for the money, he was getting both more ranch and a better proximity to cultural amenities than he had been able to find anywhere else in the Northwest.

The first annual Big Sky Fly Fishing Invitational took place this past July 7th and was a rousing success. One of our participants, an experienced angler, commented that he had the “best morning of trout fishing he’s ever had.” Another participant was adding up the total feet of trout he landed in the day.
The tournament raised $6000 for Big Sky Youth Empowerment, a wonderful organization that helps ‘at risk teenagers’. The Montana fly fishing tournament is organized by Fay Ranches and it has a unique format; there is no competition. Everyone has fun and the kids are the winners. Thank you to all participants and to the generous contribution of one of our favorite clients who made his ranch available for the day.
