Welcome to Elk Tooth Ranch, located in the charming town of Rye, Colorado, nestled in the Greenhorn Mountain Wilderness of the San Isabel National Forest. Just an hour south of Colorado Springs—and minutes from Pueblo and Walsenburg—this is Colorado mountain living at its finest. Spanning over 100 acres, the ranch sits atop a high mountain plain, with sweeping views of Colorado’s eastern plains and stunning backdrops of the Greenhorn Mountains and Fisher Peak. If you love the outdoors, Elk Tooth Ranch delivers an array of activities, including: snowmobiling, ATV riding, motocross, hiking, hunting, mountain biking, rock climbing, disc golf—and even a zipline—are all within your own property lines. Nearby attractions include Holly Dot Golf Course, Bishop’s Castle, Lake Beckwith, and Lake Isabel. For the hunter, this property lies in GMU 84, where many of the state’s trophy quality Mule deer are found in and around the property, and white tail deer tags are over the counter. Elk can be hunted on a draw system, and Turkey are plentiful in the ranches fields. The ranch features a 6-bedroom (4 upper floor rooms are nonconforming, currently utilized as bedrooms), 4-bathroom home, thoughtfully designed with high gabled roofs, passive solar heat, and large windows that flood the space with natural light and expansive views. You'll also find a 3-car garage, a separate 2-car garage, and a new 7,000-square-foot insulated barn with a 4-bay shop, concrete floors, and a modern one-bedroom apartment complete with kitchen, bath, and laundry. The land itself is a mix of dense pine, aspen, juniper, open pasture, and a seasonal creek and pond. About 26 acres are fenced for livestock—previously home to yaks—with shelters, a frost-free watering system, and cross-fenced paddocks. A large fenced garden and orchard includes apple, cherry, peach, pear, and plum trees, as well as raspberries, currants, gooseberries, service berries, and blackberries—thriving in the region’s rich soil.
