Double Heart Ranch combines virtually every quality that one looks for in a mountain ranch. On the recreational side, it has outstanding wildlife viewing and big game hunting, as well as over five miles of near blue-ribbon quality fishing on Tomichi Creek. It also both adjoins the national forest and ties together thousands of acres of other public land. From the point of view of location, it is 26 miles east of Gunnison, a small, dynamic Colorado mountain town that has good commercial air service. The ranch is less than a one-hour drive to Crested Butte, which is a world class destination ski resort. And, unlike many mountain retreats in Colorado, it has a viable livestock operation estimated at 800 animal units which operates on 11,300± deeded acres and approximately 45,000 acres of state, BLM and USFS grazing leases and permits. Its land base offers an appealing mix of lush irrigated meadows with early water rights that produce around 2,500 tons of hay per year, as well as sagebrush uplands which transition to timbered mountain pastures. Improvements are exceptional. They include a large lodge complex that sleeps up to 26 and offers the potential for a viable commercial guest/hunting operation, or it can simply function as a base for a family or corporate retreat. In addition, the ranch has three “owner quality” homes, five manager and staff houses and good-quality ranch operating facilities. This is also a scenic ranch with broad meadows and open, timbered pastures and the towering Tomichi Dome rising right out of the middle of the property. In summary, this is a fully-improved, operating mountain ranch in a great location with a full complement of scenic and recreational amenities.
