Located in the heart of the South Park basin and under 90 minutes from Colorado’s Front Range, JB Gardner Ranch spans a nearly 2,000 acre block of varied habitat, stretching from the shortgrass valley floor up through Pine-timbered hillsides and expansive alpine meadows framed with stands of Aspen to over 10,000 feet in elevation. The gently-sloping terrain of draws, ridges and parks in between teems with life, supported by a robust series of natural springs that set JB Gardner Ranch apart as one of the more aptly-watered ranches in the area. Views of towering Rocky Mountain peaks can be enjoyed from highpoints throughout the property. A 700± SF home and hunting cabins round out the existing improvements, while several homesites on the ranch would be ideal for construction of a future custom residence. JB Gardner Ranch has a storied history of big-game hunting success, with numerous tags available annually through Colorado’s LPP program. Herds of elk, mule deer and antelope roam the ranch, seeking respite in its shaded draws, water in its decreed springs, and forage in the mountain-parks and meadows that dot its landscape. The ranch’s existing owners have monetized hunting on the ranch through the sale of tags, generating recurring income and a high percentage of return clientele. JB Gardner Ranch has been identified for its ecological value. As a result, 1,160± acres of the ranch have been protected by conservation easement. The thoughtful placement of these easements preserves the heart of the ranch from encroaching development, while the easements themselves are liberal in allowing a number of recreational, residential and commercial uses on the conserved land. Thoughtfully stewarded by its current owners for more than a century, the JB Gardner Ranch has never before been brought to market and represents a significant recreational, investment and conservation opportunity in close proximity to Denver, Colorado Springs and the populous Front Range.
