Powderhorn, Colorado | Log Cabin | Live Water | Landowner Preference Program
Own your own piece of Colorado's legendary big-game country. Ten Grand Ranch offers 260 acres of exceptional recreational land surrounded by 18,000+ acres of public land, a comfortable log cabin, flowing creeks, established water infrastructure, and outstanding wildlife habitat in renowned GMU 66. For serious hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and buyers seeking a private mountain retreat, this property presents a rare opportunity to combine a hunting and wildlife-focused lifestyle with the comforts of an established mountain home.
Located in the heart of Colorado's Western hard to access backcountry, the ranch features a diverse landscape of aspen-covered hillsides, pine timber, open meadows, and natural benches where elk frequently congregate. Seasonal wildlife migrations bring big-game animals through the surrounding country during prime hunting seasons. Documented wildlife on the property includes elk, mule deer, black bear, mountain lion, moose, bobcat, coyote, fox, and wild turkey, highlighting the remarkable diversity of wildlife found across this mountain landscape.
One of the property's signature features is Bugle Bluff, a prominent hillside where elk gather and bugle during the fall rut. With Willow Creek flowing near the cabin on the 180-acre parcel and Oso Creek, also known as Bear Creek, traversing the 80-acre parcel, water and wildlife are defining features of this remarkable property.
A RARE HUNTING ADVANTAGE
The 180-acre parcel is enrolled in Colorado's Landowner Preference Program and receives several hunting tags per year for deer and elk in the coveted GMU 66, providing a significant attraction for buyers seeking a dedicated hunting property. This enrollment adds another dimension to an already impressive recreational holding, offering an opportunity to pursue Colorado big game on your own property. GMU 66 is well known for it's trophy elk and mule deer populations that take many years to draw, especially for non-residents. This property offers a rare opportunity to hunt GMU 66 every year in some capacity!
YOUR PRIVATE MOUNTAIN HUNTING HEADQUARTERS
Built in 1998, the 1,068-square-foot log cabin features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a 480-square-foot walkout basement for a total of 1548 finished square feet, with a finished single-car garage.

WATER INFRASTRUCTURE & VERSATILE LAND
The ranch features an approximately 800-foot-deep well reaching a high-yield aquifer, supplying a 5,000-gallon storage system housed in a secure cistern building. The system is designed to serve the cabin and distribute water to as many as three additional remote tanks at prospective homesites. The associated well permit is identified as #204308.
The cistern building has also served as a bunkhouse and workshop, providing useful space for equipment, hunting gear, and recreational supplies. Additional features include a buried propane tank, fenced perimeter, and convenient ramp access for storing ATVs and snowmobiles.
The separate 80-acre parcel offers terraced hillsides covered in aspen and pine, open meadows, natural elk gathering areas, and two potential residential building sites. Bugle Bluff provides a memorable vantage point overlooking the surrounding landscape and extending toward adjoining BLM land. With Oso Creek crossing the property, this parcel offers additional opportunities for hunting, wildlife observation, and outdoor recreation. Potential building sites and water-system extensions are subject to applicable approvals and verification.
