Historic Log Ranch-House Joining 1000's of Acres of Public Land

The Antelope Ranch- A great getaway for a family reunion or a group of friends who love to share the outdoors.

Location: Located near the lush Little Snake River Valley in the midst of historic ranching country, the ranch is 10 miles north of the Colorado Border on the Western Slope of the Continental Divide. Three miles from the Medicine Bow National Forest and surrounded by thousands of acres of public land. The ranch sits in the green valley of the Savery River.

The ranch has rugged sagebrush hills with aspen lined draws leading down to the meadows and river. County road 561N leading out of the town of Savery goes through the property.

House: The cozy ranch house was built in the late 1800's from local logs and sandstone and was the headquarters for several ranching families over the years. Originally a dairy farm, then a cattle and a sheep ranch. I call it a 'huge' small house because it appears deceptively small. It has: a full kitchen, dining room, family room, living room, covered porch, two baths and five bedrooms.

There is also lots of room for tents and RV campers. The house is very nice for a group of 7-8 people who want to get together and enjoy the outdoors and have a nice place to come back to.

Recreation: Hunting, horseback riding, ATV, snow machine and mountain bike riding (your own horse or equipment), wildlife viewing, fishing and swimming are all here. Private hunting may be arranged on the 320 deeded acres and the surrounding BLM land is available for hunting to the public (the ranch is located in the area 82 or the general region W). The area supports elk, mule deer, white tail, antelope, sage grouse, etc.

For birders, the area is also rich with wild birds including many types of raptors. The Savery River is usually stocked and fishing is available on the ranch as well as on miles of state owned river. There are several reservoirs and lakes within 45 minutes of the ranch.

The surrounding area is crisscrossed with dirt tracks and roads providing for plenty of exploration and mountain biking. For those not so outdoorsy, the town of Savery has a nice museum and over the Continental Divide, the towns of Encampment and Saratoga also have museums, shops, restaurants, and a free hot spring.

If you need a Starbucks around the corner to make your life complete; this place isn't for you, but if you like the great outdoors, you will love what this area has to offer.

We also can provide ranch stays (rent rooms not the whole house) or working ranch stays (work in exchange for room and board.
