Ranches of this quality rarely come to market, offering exceptional elk hunting, productive cattle operations, abundant water, and endless recreation across 2,200 deeded acres and 2,340 total acres.Elk Hunting & Wildlife Spring Gulch Ranch is built for elk. The ranch supports a healthy resident herd while also sitting along multiple migration routes used by elk from Colorado's famous White River Herd-the largest elk herd in the state. This combination creates outstanding hunting opportunities throughout the fall, all with easy-to-draw and over-the-counter tags in well-known GMU 13. The ranch has been thoughtfully managed to create exceptional wildlife habitat with dependable water, healthy forage, thick bedding cover, and open meadows. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has designated portions of the ranch as critical calving grounds, highlighting the property's importance for sustaining healthy elk populations. In addition to outstanding elk hunting, the ranch is home to mule deer, black bear, mountain lions, bobcats, grouse, ducks, sandhill cranes, and numerous other bird species that frequently use the property throughout the year. Beautiful Landscape & Exceptional Water The landscape is classic Colorado. Rolling hills covered in aspen groves and oak brush give way to open meadows and lush creek bottoms. In the fall, the ranch comes alive as the aspens turn brilliant gold and the oak brush changes to shades of orange and red, creating some of the most beautiful scenery Colorado has to offer. Water is one of the ranch's greatest strengths. Nine developed springs, over 5 miles of buried water pipeline system feeding livestock tanks, and ponds provide reliable water across the ranch. This well-planned water system supports both the cattle operation and the wildlife that call the ranch home year-round. Two cabins overlook a large hay meadow where elk are often seen feeding in the evenings. The main home offers approximately 2,902 square feet with three bedrooms and an unfinished basement, while the historic guest cabin provides approximately 1,288 square feet with two bedrooms and a loft. A large equipment shop and included ranch equipment help support the operation. Spring Gulch Ranch is more than a hunting property-it's a productive working ranch. Approximately 100 acres of hay ground, multiple fenced pastures, and abundant water support a successful cattle operation with excellent grazing throughout the ranch. Bordering the base of the Flat Tops Wilderness, the ranch also offers endless outdoor recreation including horseback riding, hiking, ATV and UTV trails, snowmobiling, fly fishing, and exploring thousands of acres of nearby public land. Located near Craig, Colorado-known as the Elk Hunting Capital of the World-the ranch offers convenient access to over-the-counter elk hunting opportunities. Hayden Regional Airport is just a short drive away with commercial flights to major cities, and Steamboat Springs is only about an hour away for world-class skiing, dining, shopping, and year-round recreation. A True Colorado Legacy Ranch Whether you're looking for one of Colorado's premier elk hunting properties, a productive cattle ranch, or a place to build family memories for generations, Spring Gulch Ranch offers an exceptional combination of wildlife, water, agriculture, scenery, and recreation that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. ## Location - **Address:** 2251 COUNTY ROAD 179, Craig, CO 81638 - **County:** 8081 - **Coordinates:** 40.405245, -107.457689 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=40.405245,-107.457689 ## Virtual Tour & Media - **Video Tour:** https://youtu.be/-N5lR4Wv2AI ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Zack Weise - **Brokerage:** Hayden Outdoors, LLC - **Broker Phone:** (970) 674-1990 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2251-County-Road-179_Craig_CO_81638_M90767-12950?f=listhub&s=NYSMLS&m=11871131&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f885277163r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f106543635r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f2404800853r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f3220475951r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f1864671274r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f1533614444r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f104805729r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f1333881819r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f3751809357r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f2457292901r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f76246353r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f3033338413r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f2338706186r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f203230446r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f3213478011r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f1200838233r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f2221533191r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f294358719r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f2905617069r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f539801822r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f2697223669r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f3240319115r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f1237747058r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f1014769195r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f1863366258r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f3501622972r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f1015174154r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f4208237556r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f2543837662r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f252639419r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f898870810r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f3226529580r.jpg) ![2251 COUNTY ROAD 179 - Photo 33](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f4048061cae2a571bc7b0bbac10666al-f849473879r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 11871131 | **Updated:** 2026-10-28 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 My State MLS.
