This lease is for a single grazing season and provides ranchers with a short-term, temporary opportunity to add land to their operation.

We hosted a property open house for a self-guided tour of Bear Creek Ranch on May 2. You may not access the property at any other time.

About the property

Located approximately six miles southwest of Walsenburg, CO, along Bear Creek Road (County Road 340), the 2,040 acre Bear Creek Ranch features a property-wide livestock watering system, including seven stock tanks gravity fed by a 21,000 gallon storage tank. Water is supplied to the storage tank by a water well with a new 1.25hp submersible pump located in Section 12. There are numerous ponds throughout the Ranch and barbed wire fence bounds the property. More information is included in the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LUSdtghL3GG2x_Ho6RYswkE8bG8m7RcJ/view?usp=sharing">bid material packet</a> and in the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZKuRGNkEF0CmK2oI8NRpRbQ9tqI6d0zk/view?usp=sharing">property brochure</a>.

NOTE: the property will be leased for recreation (e.g. hunting) through a separate process. Trust lands are often leased for a variety of uses under separate and distinct leases, most commonly agriculture and recreation. Each lease describes the specific set of uses allowed under the agreement.
