Mack Gulch Ranch is located only 30 minutes northwest of Canon City and only a few minutes south of the small town of Guffey.  Canon City is home to a number of world-class activities and attractions, Royal Gorge Railroad, Royal Gorge Mansion, the Royal Bridge & Park, and the Winery at Holy Cross Abbey.  Canon City offers plentiful shopping, restaurants and medical services.  The ranch is also easily accessible from the major Colorado cities without crossing mountain passes.  Denver is 2.5 hrs. – Colorado Springs – 1.5 hrs. and Pueblo – 1.5 hrs. from the Ranch.   The area around the property continues to maintain its rural charm, western heritage, and ranch country feel. 

 

The property is a recreational base for many activities with over 300+ days of sunshine and fresh mountain air.  Enjoy horseback riding, hiking, ATV use, camping and hunting on the ranch or the bordering BLM.  Mack Gulch Ranch offers superb big game hunting.  Resident elk and deer populations move in and out of the Currant Creek drainage which is located just west of the ranch.  Mack Gulch and the bordering BLM land provide ideal bedding, cover and habitat for large game.  The ranch is located in GMU 58.  Because the land exceeds 160 acres in size, the property can be enrolled in the Landowner Preference Program allowing for additional game tags to be drawn each year.  Close to the ranch, you can enjoy world class rafting on the Arkansas River and fishing on Spinney Mountain, Eleven Mile Reservoirs and the South Platte River.  In addition, in winter months take a 90-minute day trip to Breckenridge or Monarch Mountain for skiing and snowboarding fun.
