Dolores County Ranch — 722± Acres of Income-Producing Ground and Trophy Bulls and Bucks Just 1.5 miles from the Utah border, Dolores County Ranch puts buyers in the path of some of the best elk hunting in the region — bulls regularly cross over from Utah, and many are trophy-caliber. Combined with over-the-counter Colorado elk tags and a location in GMU 72, a unit with a long history of producing mature mule deer bucks, this 722± acre property delivers hunting that's hard to match in Dolores County. The ranch borders roughly 6,000 acres of BLM land — nearly nine times its own acreage in adjoining public ground — expanding the recreational footprint well beyond the fence line while still offering the privacy and space this part of Colorado is known for. The property also qualifies for the Colorado Landowner Preference Program, and the landowners on this property average 3 mule deer tags per year through LPP — a meaningful edge in a unit this competitive to draw. Bear, mountain lion, and coyote round out the game on the ranch. Dolores County Ranch isn't just a hunting property — it's a working one. The ground currently supports winter wheat and safflower production, generating seasonal income while maintaining agricultural tax benefits. Productive soils and open fields leave room to continue farming or shift to other agricultural uses. Year-round access puts the ranch about 1.5 hours from Telluride, Durango, and Moab — close enough for convenience, remote enough to keep the seclusion a property this size should offer. For a buyer looking to combine real farm income with trophy-level hunting on both sides of the state line, Dolores County Ranch is a rare find.
