Utilize an entire market of ranch data so you can see the market you might miss.
View results of over 75 data sources that are cultivated into one place; our proprietary ranch database.
Search confidently knowing that every ranch you see is every ranch available. Analyze, compare, and evaluate- all done for you. Each property will be sorted by value, so you know exactly how much you should pay.
Answer a few questions to start utilizing our database and find your property:
The ranch data in our private comprehensive database includes:
The ranch data we derive our data from consists of every ranch property over 1,000 acres on the market currently in Colorado, as well as numerous smaller parcels 300-1,000 acres that are good for hunting and fishing. These smaller parcels will still have great ranch values for what they are and how they complement this list (so we collect those here too). We factor out those strictly working ranches, which also have no recreational component. Next, we break out the value components and features of them all and spread them all side by side; location, size, price, improvement allocations, stream frontage, access, proximity to federal lands, proximity to resorts, access to airports, etc. We compare and sort everything from our proprietary database and our boots on the land experience!
In all cases, a price-per-acre ($/Acre*) figure is quoted when we rate values. Be advised here, it is not the only rating factor by any means, but one of many, as each list is a result of many operations and many views. Price/acre is certainly a valid and verifiable indexing tool that yields insights and meaningful sorts, one basic way to sort order from chaos, but never as a single tool.
*In each of the cases where there are improvements on the property, we have accounted for the value of those improvements in our calculations.
The Process
Once all data is assembled for a segment we want to study, we sort all the ranches, by multiple filters, each showing an analytical perspective contributing to the ranch value ranking. Our database workups are huge with compiled data, and the results of 15-25 different applied algorithms yield a result for you that clearly outlines real values and opportunities. Now, all of a sudden, value relations are much more clear, and you realize you get more bang for the buck with certain properties than others! It’s a far better way to compare properties than any other ever, and results in crystal clear decision-making.
Ranch Types
-
In Colorado, a recreational ranch is generally located in or near the mountains, has live water, and easy access to Federal Lands (USFS, BLM, STATE). It is generally suited for many styles of recreation, including but not limited to: Summer and Winter recreation, Hunting, Fishing, Family vacations or corporate retreats, Horses & Cows, hiking, 4 wheeling, log cabins & lodges, woods & meadows, and it’s found at elevations generally ranging from about 6,000’ to 10,000’. In addition, for some time now the value of ranchland has been an attractive hold for well-heeled investors who understand the opportunity provides recreational use at the same time.

There are two kinds of Hunting Ranches from our perspective, the True Hunting Ranch and the Hunting Access Ranch:
The “True Hunting Ranch”, is what we consider to be a large ranch upon which you can expect to have an exceptional private hunting experience. Some ranches will offer a large volume of animals and species, where on others you may have the opportunity to harvest a magnificent specimen of a specific species.
The “Hunting Access Ranch” is a smaller property of hundreds of acres, not thousands, located proximal to a great hunting area, thereby granting access to a large hunting experience, much public. There are a number of these great smaller hunting properties and what makes them great is that not only do they give you access to so much great territory, but they are much more affordable. For these smaller access-style ranches, the Hunting Zone rating is still appropriate, dependent as it is on the quality of the hunting experience.
-
The valuation of a fishing ranch is much more determined by the quality and quantity of the fishing experience, size and style of water, stream basin, and location. Fishing ranches may be smaller because they center on the water, but there are many large acreage ranches that have so much more. Many fishing ranches present an opportunity for river restoration and enhancement as fisheries.
-
These are those ranches, generally larger, which focus on production of Hay or Cows. That being said, there are many of them that also have inherent recreational value… the big Cow ranch that has 20 miles of fishing streams would be an example.

The Colorado Ranch & Land Brokers Difference
Some broker’s websites only show their own listings
Some brokers only know their own listings, not others.
Some brokers show all listings in one MLS, but not other MLS’s
Some brokers don’t put their listings into any MLS at all
And some brokers make it impossible for you to find land listings even on their own sites!
In fact, some brokers’ websites are so geared to residential listings, that land is lost. Land is not even a category to search on some broker’s sites!
So, what chance do you stand, on the outside looking in?
Look through the land listings in this search engine, take the quiz, and let us get back to you with the better results from our own comprehensive database and analytics.
You will appreciate our unique analytics; our special way of viewing ranch land values across an entire market; and our proprietary property database analytics, created and proven over the years. You will have the help of the entire market for your decisions.
