Straddling the Colorado and Wyoming border like a well fitting saddle, Bull Mountain Cattle Company contains some of the choicest big game habitat in two states. Well connected to many square miles of public land, Bull Mountain Cattle Company is a very private piece of a huge ecosystem that has produced flourishing herds of elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and moose, all of which present hunting opportunities of the highest quality. Although big game hunting is a major asset at Bull Mountain Cattle Company, a thriving cattle operation is its bread and butter, and its operational facilities are second to none. Investors looking for a major hunting property supported by cattle will be impressed with the many opportunities in this decidedly untamed border country.
Only 30 miles south of Laramie, Wyoming, and 75 miles from the burgeoning metropolis of Fort Collins, Colorado, Bull Mountain Cattle Company strikes the perfect balance of close enough yet far enough away as an accessible retreat. In total, the ranch controls 7,455 ± acres, including 3,430 ± deeded acres, 3,385 ± leased BLM acres, and 640 leased State Trust acres. Situated at elevations ranging from 7,300 to 8,800 feet on the northern flank of 10,000 foot Bull Mountain, Bull Mountain Cattle Company encompasses nearly twelve square miles of grasslands, aspen groves, and riparian valleys. Over 400 acres can be irrigated to support the cattle operation, while big game ranges freely through two states across the remainder of the property.
Eligible for five landowner applications for elk and mule deer in Colorado and two landowner tags each for deer, antelope, and elk in Wyoming, Bull Mountain Cattle Company will satisfy the big game hunter who prefers not to hunt in a crowd. Sharing 11 miles of boundary with public lands, there is plenty of room to roam both on and off the property. In addition to the aforementioned species, mountain lion, black bear, and turkey add variety to the hunting opportunities in these remarkably productive borderlands.
As a fishery, the ranch’s water resources are just waiting for thoughtful development for Bull Mountain Cattle Company to truly blossom. Seven miles of small mountain streams traverse the ranch, some of which contain wild brook trout, and all of which could support ponds capable of producing trophy trout. For river fishing, the Big Laramie River runs just west of the ranch and offers miles of superb brown and rainbow trout fishing on public lands in both Colorado and Wyoming.
Truly a turnkey property, Bull Mountain Cattle Company is ready for occupancy. A very comfortable, newly remodeled 3,800 square foot home with four bedrooms and five baths overlooks a creek and the irrigated meadows. The well maintained ranching facilities include a large metal horse barn and equipment building, an indoor riding arena, a log horse barn, and a veterinary room. Water rights are sufficient to irrigate up to 400 acres, more than adequate to support the existing cow calf operation. Also included on Bull Mountain Cattle Company are a three bedroom ranch manager’s home and a rustic hunting cabin along Shell Creek.
Bull Mountain Cattle Company lies solidly at the center of year round recreational opportunities. Hunting and fishing are mainstays, but exploring the ranch and surrounding Medicine Bow and Roosevelt National Forests via OHV or horseback in the summer or by snowmobile, cross country skis, or snowshoes in the winter can keep you fascinated for years. The Snowy Range Ski Area is located about 90 minutes away and offers downhill skiing and snowboarding without the crowds typical of these sports.
Less than 30 miles from Laramie and just over an hour from Fort Collins, both university towns, Bull Mountain Cattle Company is within easy year round reach of a plethora of cultural opportunities. The rest of the world can be reached via Denver International Airport, which is also just over two hours from the ranch.
