Location & Area
The ranch is near the historic town of Trinidad in Southern
Colorado, conveniently located along I-25, only 21 miles north
of Raton, New Mexico and 116 miles south of Colorado Springs
(which serves as the closest major airport). Trinidad is situated
in the Purgatoire River Valley near the base of Raton Pass and
in the past was along the upper branch of the Santa Fe Trail.
Today Trinidad is home to around 9,000 residents, most major
services and the Trinidad State Junior College.
The area has an average annual precipitation of 15.5 inches
and has a semi-arid climate. Summer days are hot, but due
to Trinidad’s high elevation (6,010 ft.), summer nights are cool
and temperatures drop sharply after sunset. Winters are cold,
but more mild than most mountain towns in Colorado. s

The setting of this ranch is among one of its greatest attributes. Located just 6.5 miles from town, this ranch is very accessible yet it has a very secluded feel. The
ranch sits in the foothills below the base of Fishers Peak and nearby Barela Mesa and has spectacular mountain and rugged rangeland views from the Spanish
Peaks up north to Mesa de Maya way out east. This is truly a picturesque western setting that has great working ranch and recreational features that are hard to
find in one ranch offering.

Land & Water
The San Miguel Creek Ranch has diverse landscapes that have
been very well cared for. There are 7 fenced pastures that have
excellent warm season and cool season native grasses for
grazing. The ranch typically runs 175 cow/calf pairs year round.
The ranch is well watered and has a spring-fed pipeline that
carries water to 16 stock tanks throughout the ranch. There are
many dirt ponds and 5 creeks on the property, of which 3 are
seasonal and 2 are year-round including San Miguel Creek —
these are excellent water sources for livestock and wildlife. The
topography changes over 1,000 feet (from 6,000 to 7,000) on
the ranch and has a beautiful mix of timber and brush covered
hills and ridges, separated by good grass valleys. The ranch is
not encumbered by any conservation easements, although it
would be a good candidate for one.
The ranch also utilizes an adjoining State Land grazing lease
of approx. 480 acres on the NE boundary of the deeded
land, plus an additional 1,200 acres of private grazing lease
adjoining the deeded also. There is a parcel of 120 acres within
the ranch boundary that is not owned by seller, but not fenced
out either…this could be pursued by a new owner. s
