Tarryall Tailwater Ranch Jefferson, Colorado
Details & Features
The Tarryall Tailwater Ranch is comprised of 579 scenic acres with sub-irrigated meadows, big mountain views and dramatic rock outcroppings. The ranch is virtually encompassed by Pike National Forest and is teeming with wildlife visitors. What sets the Tarryall Tailwater Ranch apart is approximately 5 miles of both sides of Tarryall Creek that is situated immediately downstream of the Tarryall Reservoir. This meandering fishery winds its way from the outlet of Tarryall Reservoir through the ranch for providing habitat for line-ripping rainbow trout, territorial brown trout and the aquatic entomolgy necessary to keep all the fish species ‘fat and happy’. There has been a collaborative fishery enhancement on this fishery upstream from the ranch, which provides an exceptional opportunity for further enrichment and conservation possibilities.
Located less than a 2-hour drive from Denver and the Denver International Airport, and Colorado Springs the Tarryall Tailwater Ranch enjoys convenient access to 2 major commercial airports. This coupled with nearly 5 miles of high-quality, trout-filled stream frontage represents a rare ownership opportunity.
On the higher elevations of the ranch there are panoramic views of the Mosquito Range to the west, as well as immediate access to trophy elk hunting in the adjacent national forest. The angling on the ranch is superb with sections of the fishery currently leased to South Park Flyfishers and Rocky Mountain Angling Club. An incoming owner could choose to conclude this lease for a completely private fishing experience. This is a tremendous opportunity to purchase and control extensive riparian habitat within close proximity to the Front Range. This offering represents a significant river mileage to land opportunity within such close proximity to a major metro area.
- World-class recreation
- Excellent big game hunting
