TBD Forest Service Road 241F, Cahone, CO 81320 - Dolores County

Welcome to McKinney Ranch, an exceptional 640 acre Southwest Colorado retreat perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and ranchers. This hideaway property features a diverse landscape of improved pasture, sagebrush, and Pinyon/Juniper forests, creating an ideal habitat for abundant wildlife, including Elk, Mule Deer, Bear, and Turkey.

Situated in Game Unit 711, McKinney Ranch qualifies for the Landowner Preference Program for Mule Deer and offers Over-The-Counter (OTC) tags for Elk and Bear.

As cooler weather sets in, Elk and Mule Deer migrate to the ranch, taking advantage of the open pastures for feeding in the mornings and evenings while finding refuge in the dense cover during the day. This prime location lies along a key migration route, ensuring plenty of wildlife movement. Archery hunters can target rutting bulls, while rifle season yields increased success as the Mule Deer rut approaches. The property also boasts an 11-gallon-per-minute producing well, which enhances its practicality for ranch operations and can serve as an additional water source for wildlife.

The ranch borders thousands of acres of public land, providing even more exploration and hunting opportunities. Despite its remote peace, McKinney Ranch is still within driving distance of amenities. Dove Creek & Dolores CO, located within 50 miles, offers hotels, fuel, a hardware store, a grocery store, and small local restaurants. Three national parks are just a two-hour drive away, and the renowned Telluride Ski Resort, offering winter sports and fine dining, is only 1 hour and 20 minutes away. The surrounding areas boast hunting, fishing, and camping.

McKinney Ranch is not just a property; it's a remote sanctuary to unwind and fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Southwest Colorado. Don’t miss your chance to own this outdoor paradise!
