Colorado Ranches and Land For Sale

Ranching has a long history in Colorado, dating back to the early 1800s. The first cattle and sheep were brought to the area by Spanish explorers and missionaries. Ranching began to develop as a commercial enterprise in the mid-1800s, as Colorado became a hub for the cattle industry.


The arrival of the railroad in the late 1800s further fueled the growth of the industry, as it made it easier to transport cattle to markets in the East. By the early 1900s, Colorado was home to some of the largest cattle ranches in the country, with thousands of head of cattle grazing on vast tracts of land.

The state’s ranching industry has faced many challenges over the years, including droughts, economic downturns, and competition from other regions. In recent decades, concerns about the environmental impact of ranching and the treatment of animals have led to increased regulation and scrutiny of the industry.

Despite these challenges, ranching remains an important part of Colorado’s economy and culture, with many families and communities continuing to rely on it for their livelihoods. Today, Colorado is home to more than 30,000 farms and ranches, with agriculture contributing over $40 billion to the state’s economy each year.

Colorado has always been considered something of a last frontier when it comes to usable land. While much of the rest of the country gives way to cities and suburbs, the state continues to boast large tracts of wilderness for hunting and numerous ranching properties. Whether a buyer’s interest specifically lies in fully operational Colorado cattle ranches for sale or simply finding some recreational land on which to hunt, fish, or keep horses, it’s important not to just buy the first property that sounds good sight unseen. Buying land is a serious investment, so buyers should give some thought to the property’s current and intended uses to ensure they are in line with their personal and financial goals.

  • What to Look For in Colorado Cattle Ranches
    Buying a cattle ranch can be a fantastic business venture. Raising cattle takes a lot of work, but it pays off in a return on the initial investment when it is done correctly. Even if potential buyers stumble on what seems like the perfect investment, it’s important to take a look at how the ranch is doing financially and figure out how much additional investment would need to be made to make it sufficiently profitable. Purchasing cattle ranches for sale from a company that specializes in ranches and recreational land makes this challenge much easier
  • How to Choose a Colorado Horse Ranch
    Horse ranches are very different. Most people searching for Colorado horse property for sale are less concerned about the bottom line and more concerned about having enough land to enjoy equestrian activities. The needs of horses are also very different from those of cattle, so be sure to find a property that already has well-constructed and currently usable stables and grazing fields. If the intent is to turn the land into a business, the presence or absence of existing structures like ranch houses and guest houses on any given piece of property can make the decision a little bit easier.
  • Buying Colorado Hunting Land
    Passionate sportsmen care less about existing structures and pastures for grazing than they do about game. A Colorado hunting property that is up for purchase should be sufficiently remote to allow a wide variety of local game, such as deer, elk, and upland game. This is often the first priority of avid hunters who are just as happy to construct a small cabin and live simply miles from civilization as they are in a classic ranch house with modern amenities. Although hunting certainly can be profitable most buyers consider the thrill of the hunt a reward in its own right. Find hunting property for sale in Colorado through a company that works with hunting enthusiasts and can help you find what they need.
  • Finding Colorado Fly Fishing Ranches
    Those looking for Colorado fly fishing ranches for sale have very particular needs and should absolutely take a careful look at the water supply on any property they are considering for purchase. While the value of a cattle ranch is obvious more or less throughout the year, it only makes sense to buy a property for fly fishing after it has been evaluated during fly fishing season. Put that enthusiasm on ice until spring.
