Outstanding Recreational Ranch for Sale
Osterhouse Ranch
The value of the ranch begins with its stature as a scenic fly fishing and hunting property, plus it lends itself to horseback riding and cross-country ski excursions. The wide stream ranges from 20 to 40 feet in width. Its visit to Osterhouse Ranch extends for about a quarter mile where aquatic insects populate the area.
The East Fork holds abundant trophy trout, and a healthy population of rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and cuttbow hybrids in the riffles, runs, and pools. Mature fish grow from 14 inches to 24 inches. Additional fishing opportunities could be developed on some of the stillwater ponds and adjudicated springs on the ranch.
Hunters find elk, black bear, and mule deer on the property. Big game find habitat here near the water sources combined with thick woodlands–aspen, spruce and pine–and grassy meadows. Cottonwood and oak brush linger on the valley bottom. Recreational value of the very private ranchland is boosted by its seclusion between other large ranches and Routt National Forest on the southern boundary.
