TBD County Road 249, Rifle, CO 81650

Arrow Rim Ranch offers 249 acres of high-country recreational and hunting land in Garfield County, Colorado, situated within Game Management Unit (GMU) 22. This mountain property borders extensive BLM public lands, providing direct access to thousands of acres of rugged country known for abundant wildlife and outdoor opportunities. While Cow Creek and Bear Creek lie just beyond the property boundary, their presence nearby contributes to the strong wildlife movement that defines this area.

The landscape of Arrow Rim Ranch is a scenic mix of timbered ridges, oak brush hillsides, open meadows, and pockets of mature pine and aspen. The variation in vegetation and elevation creates a beautiful backdrop for year-round recreation and supports a wide range of wildlife. In the spring and summer, green native grasses and wildflowers fill the meadows, while the aspens and oaks add color and cover through the fall. The diverse habitat provides excellent food and bedding for elk, mule deer, bear, turkey, and even moose, which frequently travel the draws and ridgelines between the creeks and adjacent public lands.

The property lies within GMU 22, an area recognized for its accessible hunting opportunities. Over-the-counter elk tags are available during multiple seasons, deer tags are issued through the draw, and spring and fall turkey tags can be purchased over the counter. The ranch also qualifies for the Colorado Landowner Preference Program (LPP), offering eligibility for future landowner big-game tag applications.

Access is available via County Road 249, with additional entry points through adjoining BLM lands. The terrain lends itself to hiking, horseback riding, ATV use, camping, and general outdoor enjoyment. The variety of timbered cover, open ground, and natural water influence from nearby creeks makes the property equally suitable for hunting and non-consumptive recreation like wildlife photography and exploring.

Local towns including Rifle (approximately 45 minutes) and Meeker (around one hour) provide grocery stores, dining, lodging, and fuel. Larger commercial airports in Grand Junction and Eagle County are each within about two hours of the property, allowing convenient access to and from the region.

Arrow Rim Ranch includes mineral rights, with no conservation easement, allowing flexibility for future land use or management decisions. The setting offers a true sense of Colorado’s mountain character—rolling oak hillsides, stands of pine and aspen, and quiet meadows that open to expansive views of surrounding ridges and valleys.
