  • Agriculture, Big Game, Equestrian, Off-Road, River Frontage, Stream/River, Upland Bird, Wildlife Viewing

The 4,600 acre “Point Pasture” represents a unique and rugged portion of the historic Hermosilla Ranch.  The land 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.  Historically owned by only two familes since the late 1800’s, this is a rare offering.  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 circles, and cave shelters.

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