Property description
Discover the extraordinary Elk Flats on Tomichi Creek, a premier property nestled in the heart of the Gunnison Valley with 440 +/- deeded acres only 30 minutes east of Gunnison just a short distance downstream from Sargents near the headwaters of Tomichi Creek. This exceptional retreat offers a productive hay base and features 1.25 miles of both sides of Tomichi Creek, providing unparalleled access to lush meadows and scenic creek banks. The property has historically produced over 400 tons of mountain meadow grass hay. Elk Flats boasts incredible views, making it the perfect location for a home site with convenient access to the highway. With no conservation easement, you have the freedom to develop the property as you see fit and the opportunity to take advantage of putting a conservation easement in place is immediate. The resident elk herd adds to the property's charm and offers unique wildlife viewing opportunities. The creek is also home to trout, making it a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. There are also opportunities for stream and fisheries enhancements. The ranch spans over 1.25 miles along both side of Tomichi Creek, which winds through the mountain hay meadows and hosts thriving populations of brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout. The ranch is located near the headwaters of Tomichi Creek and stays cooler with higher flows. This section of creek is ripe for stream enhancements and fisheries improvements. The additional fishing and live water recreation in the area is truly abundant with the Gunnison River, East River, Taylor River, and the gold-medal Arkansas River. There is no shortage of opportunities to catch quality trout. Blue Mesa Reservoir nearby is known for its Kokanee salmon population as well. The wildlife and big game populations on the property are diverse and immense. Moose, elk, mule deer, antelope and small game all thrive in the meadows and brush along the creek, which provide year-round protection and game habitat. The proximity to hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding, and hunting on the adjacent public lands, as well as on the ranch, cannot compare.
