7R Ranch consists of a custom home and heated shop on 73 acres bordering over 220,000 acres of public land. San Francisco Creek meanders year round through the property with over 1/4 mile of creek frontage (see interactive map in virtual tour link). Deer, elk, and turkey all make their way through this ranch during different times of the year. Del Norte is only 4 miles to the north and Wolf Creek Ski Area is an easy 38 mile drive to the west. This property is also only 20 minutes to the Rio Grande Golf Club. Elevation ranges from 8200' in the valley floor to 8760' up the ridge to the east. With low annual taxes of only $5,054, and road maintenance dues of only $175 a year, this ranch enjoys extremely low holding costs. For those with a green thumb, the raised beds and 2 greenhouses provide plenty of growing space to meet your needs. There's pride in ownership with this original-owner 8,000 sq ft custom home.
