    Located near Gardner, Colorado, TLC Ranch offers 144.51A± acres of rugged terrain, quality wildlife habitat, and strong big-game hunting appeal in GMU 85. The property supports elk, deer, turkey, and bear and is exceptionally positioned among extensive public lands, dramatically expanding recreational and hunting opportunities beyond the deeded acreage. The ranch directly borders approximately 2,257A± acres of BLM, encompassing Sheep Mountain, and is also in very close proximity to several additional large BLM tracts, including one contiguous block of approximately 3,337A± acres and another of approximately 3,692A± acres surrounding Little Sheep Mountain. This setting provides seamless access to thousands of acres of public land and excellent habitat continuity for wildlife movement.
