160 Acre Trophy Elk & Mule Deer Hunting Headquarters in the Colorado Mountains. Dry Cabin - GMU 79 - Year-Round Spring

Trophy Elk & Mule Deer Hunting Headquarters | 160 Acres | GMU 79 | Year-Round Spring |

Borders National Forest on THREE SIDES!

If you’ve been searching for a Southern Colorado big game hunting property with water, cover,

views, and proven wildlife activity, this 160-acre GMU 79 parcel between South Fork and Del

Norte checks every box. Designed by nature for both rifle and archery seasons, this high mountain

property supports consistent game movement and offers the kind of terrain hunters look

for—timber, meadows, bedding cover, travel corridors, and a reliable year-round water source.

The land features a diverse mix of tall pines, aspen, piñon, juniper, cottonwood, and open

meadows, creating excellent habitat and glassing opportunities with expansive views of the

Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Wildlife is abundant, including elk, deer, bear, mountain lion, moose,

pronghorn, bobcat, and more. All wildlife photos included in this listing were taken on this property.

Located on the north side of Twin Mountain near Del Norte, the lower (eastern) 40 acres includes

an active, year-round flowing mountain spring—a prime watering area surrounded by aspens and

green grass that draws consistent wildlife activity.

The upper (western) 120 acres delivers incredible views and includes a well-insulated 2-bedroom

dry cabin (built in 2023), approximately 400 square feet, with a loft, wood-burning stove, dry

kitchen, and a covered front porch—an ideal base camp for hunting season or mountain

getaways. The cabin is fully wired for electricity and is typically plugged into a gasoline generator. 

It is solar-ready if you prefer.  There is no well or septic on the property. Also included is an 8’ x 12’ 

storage shed, perfect for storing gear, ATVs, or a generator.

Bordered on THREE SIDES by National Forest, this property offers outstanding privacy and big

game potential, along with expanded recreation access. In addition, the 160 acres qualify for

Colorado’s Landowner Preference Program (LPP) for deer, elk, and pronghorn (subject to CPW

requirements and verification).
