Stretching across 4,005 deeded acres, with an additional 640 acres of State Lease, the Sandhills ranch is an expansive eastern Colorado ranch embodying the productivity and resilience of the short grass prairie and the distinctive character of the region's rolling sandhills. The landscape is defined by undulating sandy plains and low dunes stabilized with sagebrush and native grasses, creating a diverse forage base that has supported cattle operations for generations. Known for its ability to thrive in semi-arid conditions, the short grass prairie provides dependable, nutrient-rich forage, while the sandy soils promote rapid green-up after summer rains, making this an ideal grazing environment. The ranch's history reflects its versatility. Once operated as a year-round cow/calf operation, it has more recently been leased seasonally for yearling grazing from June through September. This shift demonstrates its adaptability to different livestock programs, from full-scale cow/calf production to shorter-term weight-gain enterprises. Well-designed infrastructure supports the operation, including perimeter and cross-fencing that allow for rotational grazing and effective pasture management. Six water wells, each outfitted with a solar pumping system, distribute water reliably across the property, while a large catch pond supplements the supply and provides seasonal storage. These water resources ensure herds are sustained throughout the grazing season, regardless of rainfall fluctuations. The ranch's natural setting offers more than just productivity-it reflects the rugged beauty and ecological richness of eastern Colorado. Rolling sandhills create scenic vistas and wildlife habitat, while resilient native vegetation ensures the land remains both functional and enduring. With its combination of scale, infrastructure, and ecological balance, this property presents a rare opportunity to step into a proven cattle ranching enterprise.
