Freshwater Ranch Summary
Lying at the top of Currant Creek Pass, above all other private land holdings, is the 1,540+/- acre Freshwater Ranch. The ranch boasts classic South Park, Colorado sweeping views and the added unique characteristics of timberland found above 9,000 feet in elevation. A short two-hour drive from Denver and an even shorter hour and twenty minutes from Colorado Springs will find you at the heart of the ranch. The ranch is available for sale in three configurations: as a single 1,540+/- acre offering, as the eastern 640+/- acre offering or as the western 900+/- acre offering.
Freshwater Ranch is draped on three sides by Pike National Forrest. In addition to being at the top of Currant Creek Pass, no other private holding of this size in the area can claim this kind of exposure to public land. More than half of the ranch’s 7-mile perimeter borders the National Forrest. The ranch rests on the shoulder of the hulking, heavily treed 11,548-foot Thirtynine Mile Mountain. As a result, the ranch is a private haven for all the wild game that take advantage of this high-altitude timber. There is not a single trail cut on Thirtynine Mile Mountain affording those with the backdoor access Freshwater Ranch provides an exclusive and private experience whether hunting, hiking or horseback riding. Elk, Mule Deer, Bear, Pronghorn and other species reside on and around Currant Creek Pass and they all water themselves on the ranch’s four ponds.

With international air service about an hour away, nearby conveniences and attractions, sporting and adventure in the National Forest outside the ranch’s backdoor and the agricultural opportunities to run cattle, the Freshwater Ranch truly affords it’s owner the opportunity to do it all.
