A LEGACY WESTERN HOLDING Wallace Creek Ranch is a rare, large-scale Western Slope offering — 1,440± deeded acres of working agriculture, live water, and trophy big game country on the Western Slope of Colorado. Bordered by BLM ground for roughly two miles and sitting just a half-mile from the White River National Forest, the ranch combines the kind of contiguous deeded scale, public-land access, and productive ground that is increasingly difficult to assemble in today's Colorado ranch market. Tucked between the White River National Forest to the south and the Bookcliffs to the north, conveniently located off I-70, the ranch captures mountain and valley views in every direction. Roughly 350± acres of irrigated pasture and hay meadows anchor the working side of the operation, with the balance of the property carrying a rich mix of cedar, piñon pine, oak, mountain meadow, and cottonwood-lined creek bottom — the kind of habitat diversity that holds wildlife in numbers and gives an owner real options on how to use the land. Between the ranch, the BLM and the Forest Service permits (offered separately), the current operation carries 140 pairs from May to the end of December. A WORKING RANCH WITH LIVE WATER AND PRODUCTION Wallace Creek Ranch has operated historically as a cattle and hay operation, and the production base reflects it. Approximately 350± acres of irrigated pasture and hay meadows are supported by Wallace Creek water rights, with infrastructure that includes side-roll sprinklers, one big gun, a center pivot, and access to flood irrigation in portions of the property. Wallace Creek itself traverses the ranch for approximately one mile, and a small stocked pond sits at the upper end of the property, in addition to Spring Creek on the other side of the ranch providing great wildlife habitat. The ranch carries three BLM grazing allotments (included) plus a Forest Service grazing allotment (offered separately) — a meaningful operational asset that extends summer carrying capacity well beyond what the deeded acreage alone could support. The ranch coupled with the permits currently and historically has carried 140 AUs. The property is unencumbered by conservation easements, leaving full flexibility for an incoming owner to operate, improve, or restructure the ranch as they see fit. MOUNTAIN VIEWS IN EVERY DIRECTION Ranch elevations range from 5,700 to 6,600 feet, climbing from creek bottoms through rolling irrigated pastures into cedar, piñon, and oak. The topography offers level, sloped, and rolling ground — opening up multiple potential building sites with nearby power and commanding views toward the White River National Forest to the south, the Bookcliffs to the north, Wallace Creek and its cottonwood corridor, and the open valley floor and surrounding mountain ranges. The mix of irrigated meadow, mountain timber, and two live-water creek bottoms creates a visual variety — and a habitat variety — that simply doesn't exist on most Western ranches at this scale. TROPHY-CLASS BIG GAME IN GMU 42 Wallace Creek Ranch sits within Game Management Unit 42, one of the more accessible big game units on the Western Slope. The unit qualifies for over-the-counter elk tags during 2nd and 3rd Rifle seasons and is eligible for landowner deer vouchers annually — a meaningful advantage for owners who want a reliable hunt without burning preference points. Historically the ranch has received 6 landowner buck tags every season. As the seasons progress into October and November, high numbers of elk and deer migrate onto the ranch and through this corridor, funneling off the surrounding BLM and National Forest country and onto the deeded ground. Hunting opportunity on the property includes: • Elk — Heavy seasonal migration onto the ranch with strong public-land overflow from adjoining BLM and the White River National Forest; bull quality trending in the 300" range • Mule deer — Resident and migratory populations, with annual landowner voucher eligibility and historical harvests in the 190"–200"+ class • Black bear — Healthy populations across the surrounding piñon-juniper and oak country • Turkey — Phenomenal spring hunting along the creek bottoms and timbered draws With roughly two miles of common BLM boundary and the White River National Forest just a half-mile away, public-land access for hunting and recreation is effectively at the back door. FOR BUYERS WHO VALUE OPTIONALITY The true strength of Wallace Creek Ranch lies in its flexibility. At 1,440± contiguous deeded acres with live water, irrigation, three BLM allotments, and direct public-land access, the property supports a range of ownership models. A buyer can choose to: • Continue operating it as a producing cattle and hay ranch • Run it as a private family hunting and recreation property • Build a primary or seasonal residence on one of multiple potential homesites • Combine working agriculture with recreational and lifestyle use • Hold it as a long-term land investment with intact agricultural and recreational cash flows This kind of diverse, multi-use Western Slope ranch — at this scale, with live water, irrigation, OTC hunting, and public-land access — is increasingly rare in the Colorado market.

However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the expanse of beautiful properties that are tucked away from the I-70 corridor, seemingly completely unknown to its travelers. Quiet, peaceful, and views for days! Not what I had expected at all. Then there is the wildlife! No wonder they love this ranch — its big green pastures skirted by P&J edging their way out, and creek bottoms on both sides channeling the migration right into this property. Spring and into fall I can be enjoying this ranch with its year-round access. An hour forty to Vail, fifty minutes to Glenwood, the same for Grand Junction. Secluded but not isolated." — Reese Lovell, Listing Broker Showings by appointment — call the listing broker. Lot lines in images are approximate. Unrecorded survey completed by Del-Monte.
