The 4,600 acre “Point Pasture” represents a unique and rugged portion of the historic Hermosilla Ranch. The Ranch can trace its origins back to an original Spanish Land Grant. Originally settled by Captain William Craig in the 1860's and later purchased by Civil War General Benjamin Butler, the ranch has a long history of farming and cattle operations.

The Point Pasture is framed by a flat top mesa at the confluence of the Huerfano and Cucharas River Canyons with dramatic and sweeping views of the canyon rims and river drainage below. The land offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to develop and carefully design a legacy property for ranching, recreation, conservation, or hunting pursuits. Step back in time as you explore some of the most wild and untouched canyon country in Southeastern Colorado. The land is not only visually stunning but these canyons have a rich and colorful history. Native Americans and earlier hunter gatherer cultures called these canyons home and evidence of habitation can be found in the form of petroglyph rock drawings, tipi rings, and cave shelters.

The terrain, water resources, forage, and protective bedding areas on this ranch combine to create outstanding habitat for elk, mule deer, white tail deer, antelope, and bear. Bighorn Sheep have also recently been reintroduced into these canyons. Unit 128 offers an extended OTC season for bull elk from mid-October to mid-November and numerous leftover “C” tags for cow elk are available for this unit each year. This area of southeast Colorado is known for producing large mule deer and pronghorn and many are seen regularly on the ranch.

Equestrians, ATV, or off-road enthusiasts would love this property as there are miles of old trails running through most of the property.
