German Creek Ranch is a multi-use mountain ranch. For the avid outdoorsman, the property offers exceptional hunting for trophy mule deer, late-season elk, and turkeys. The ranch qualifies for Colorado's Landowner Preference Program in GMU 53, where landowners often receive at least one highly coveted buck tag. Unit 53 is known for producing bucks up over 180 inches. German Creek sits directly in the mule deer migration route. As the snow falls some of the biggest bucks in the unit come right to this ranch for the rut and winter. Continuing to manage this property to maximize mule habitat you will see that you will pull in the best bucks in the unit.
The property has been thoughtfully improved to support year-round living and agricultural use, with water rights that support irrigation of approximately 50-60 acres. German Creek flows through the ranch and there are water shares in two mountain reservoirs and multiple natural adjudicated springs.

The captivating framework of this beautiful log home is the covered deck that wraps around three sides of the home, providing a great place to enjoy the views, sunsets, and wildlife.
At the ranch entrance, sits two historic buildings: a well-kept 1930's miner's cottage (great for a caretaker or rental), and an 1890's log cabin that can be run as a short-term rental or as a guesthouse.
