Location & Area

The ranch is near the historic town of Trinidad in Southern

Colorado, conveniently located along I-25, only 21 miles north

of Raton, New Mexico and 116 miles south of Colorado Springs

(which serves as the closest major airport). Trinidad is situated

in the Purgatoire River Valley near the base of Raton Pass and

in the past was along the upper branch of the Santa Fe Trail.

Today Trinidad is home to around 9,000 residents, most major

services and the Trinidad State Junior College.

The area has an average annual precipitation of 15.5 inches

and has a semi-arid climate. Summer days are hot, but due

to Trinidad’s high elevation (6,010 ft.), summer nights are cool

and temperatures drop sharply after sunset. Winters are cold,

but more mild than most mountain towns in Colorado. s

The setting of this ranch is among one of its greatest attributes. Located just 6.5 miles from town, this ranch is very accessible yet it has a very secluded feel. The

ranch sits in the foothills below the base of Fishers Peak and nearby Barela Mesa and has spectacular mountain and rugged rangeland views from the Spanish

Peaks up north to Mesa de Maya way out east. This is truly a picturesque western setting that has great working ranch and recreational features that are hard to

find in one ranch offering.

Land & Water

The San Miguel Creek Ranch has diverse landscapes that have

been very well cared for. There are 7 fenced pastures that have

excellent warm season and cool season native grasses for

grazing. The ranch typically runs 175 cow/calf pairs year round.

The ranch is well watered and has a spring-fed pipeline that

carries water to 16 stock tanks throughout the ranch. There are

many dirt ponds and 5 creeks on the property, of which 3 are

seasonal and 2 are year-round including San Miguel Creek —

these are excellent water sources for livestock and wildlife. The

topography changes over 1,000 feet (from 6,000 to 7,000) on

the ranch and has a beautiful mix of timber and brush covered

hills and ridges, separated by good grass valleys. The ranch is

not encumbered by any conservation easements, although it

would be a good candidate for one.

The ranch also utilizes an adjoining State Land grazing lease

of approx. 480 acres on the NE boundary of the deeded

land, plus an additional 1,200 acres of private grazing lease

adjoining the deeded also. There is a parcel of 120 acres within

the ranch boundary that is not owned by seller, but not fenced

out either…this could be pursued by a new owner. s
