Offered to the market for the first time in over 50 years, Butte Ranch is a premier angling and sporting property with significant agricultural values located in Colorado's highly sought-after North Park Valley. The ranch boasts superb fly-fishing on over three miles of the Roaring Fork of the North Platte River and its tributaries. In addition to the river, two stocked ponds totaling over three surface acres enhance the onsite angling and offer an enjoyable fishing day for anglers of all skill levels. Held as a private fishing and recreational property by a small ownership group of avid anglers the ranch and fishery has been carefully managed for the last half century. Beyond the extensive livewater resources, Butte Ranch's 640 deeded acres host a healthy mixture of riparian corridor, rolling upland prairie, and lush hay meadows irrigated under several senior water rights and ditch systems. The ranch does not have any existing structures and is free from major easements and encumbrances, making it a blank canvas for future development of a cabin, lodge or private mountain residential compound. Despite its serene private setting, the ranch is easily accessible at approximately two hours from Colorado's Front Range, three hours from Denver, and only 15 minutes from the charming county seat of Walden which teems with old west nostalgia. Livewater angling properties of this magnitude are rare in today's market, and very few offer the ease of access and extensive recreational and development potential that the Butte Ranch provides.
