Emerald Ranch is a 508-acre dream that took years to realize. Made up of over 50 mining claims painstakingly assembled by the astute owners, it represents one of the largest private USFS in-holdings within close proximity of Creede, CO. Defined by its high-country alpine setting, two homes, and western equestrian facilities, this ranch has it all. The owners lived on the ranch full-time for years and were able to raise their children there due to its year-round accessibility. Two live water creeks, Deerhorn and West Willow, run through the property, feeding ponds and ultimately ending up in the drainage for the headwaters of the Rio Grande. Wildlife, including elk, moose, deer, and black bear, are abundant on and in the USFS around the ranch. Though the ranch is protected with a conservation easement that restricts hunting, the owner has hunted in the forest outside the ranch boundary for years. The owner intends to provide two hunting vouchers for two years to the Buyer, which may be used in the surrounding public land. The Ranch House features 3 bedrooms/5 baths and starts with a ground floor including horse stalls and a game room suite, with the main living area on the floors above. A second residence, the Lake House, is a couple of hundred yards south of the main house and enjoys large views down the valley. Both homes are off-grid with water wells. The wonderful small mountain town Creede, CO, is only 20 minutes from the ranch driveway.

Perched perfectly above the historic town of Creede, this exceptional 6.122-acre parcel is the largest lot in the 7-lot Creede Mesa development, where each property has a minimum of 5 acres to live their mountainside dream with a feeling of true privacy. Tucked away at the very end / at the top, this property delivers the ultimate blend of secluded mountain living and immediate town convenience. Though it feels farther away, you can be in downtown Creede, including the renowned Repertory Theatre and art galleries, within two minutes. Bordering the Rio Grande National Forest on two full sides, the property serves as a daily thoroughfare for local deer and wildlife. The heavily treed, north-facing lot enjoys diffused sunlight throughout the day. Panoramic views stretch across the landscape, capturing the historic Sunnyside Chapel, the dramatic cliff canyons, and even a view of Wagon Wheel Gap. Building is remarkably straightforward here compared to typical alpine lots. The corners are already staked, and one of the suggested build sites requires no 4x4 vehicle or steep-grade driveway to access. Minimal to possibly zero tree removal is required at the site. The county also maintains and plows Molly S Drive year-round. The infrastructure on this parcel sets it entirely apart from standard county acreage, as the lot is already connected to city water, providing a massive utility advantage, with buried electricity and a fire hydrant located right at the property line for added safety and convenience. While a private septic system will need to be installed, the heavy lifting for these other major utilities is already done. Additionally, the location is highly functional; per county approval, which another lot owner secured, the shared cul-de-sac can be utilized as a temporary landing space for staging building supplies during construction or for temporary extra guest parking once you are settled into your mountain home. Located just up from town off the Bachelor Loop (up behind the cemetery and the Creede America development), the property is just outside the city limits with reasonable HOA covenants that are similar to other like-developments in the area and the annual dues are low. This is truly a "hard-to-beat" acreage with some of the best views in Mineral County.
It's incredibly rare to find 51+ acres this close to downtown Creede that also backs directly up to the National Forest. You can literally walk, ride, or hunt your way onto thousands of acres of public land right from your own property line. The land is full of wildlife and takes in some huge mountain views. Access comes off Highway 149 (a future access road will need to be put in). For utilities, you're well-positioned for an off-grid solar and well setup, though pulling grid power might be an option too. If you've been waiting for a spot to build a mountain home, a seasonal cabin, or just want an epic basecamp for hunting season, you don't find this kind of acreage just minutes from town very often.
23+ acres right on the National Forest boundary, just outside of town. If you've been watching the Creede market, you know properties in this size range with direct public land access don't pop up often. You've got immediate, out-your-back-door access to miles of riding, hunting, and hiking with zero neighbors behind you. You'll access the land off Highway 149 (future road construction required). Plan on drilling a well and setting up solar-which is likely the smartest route out here anyway-though standard electrical service might be an option. Great views, wide open space, and endless recreation.
