Located 1.5 hours from Denver and Colorado Springs the DM Ranch is in close proximity to daily direct air service to nearly all of the major metro areas in the US, while maintaining its charming simplicity and quiet splendor. With approximately 2 ½ miles of the South Fork of the South Platte and another ½ mile of Twelvemile Creek meandering through the meadows, the ranch is home to a robust population of healthy trout. www.livewaterproperties.com Hunting | Ranching | Fly Fishing | Conservation Contact BRIAN HARTLEY associate broker O: 307.734.6100 C: 307.690.3155 Acreage In the shadows of nearby 14,000 ft peaks, known locally as “14’ers”, the DM Ranch is 615 ACRES comprised of 615 acres of lush riparian corridor, productive sub-irrigated meadows and COMPROMISED dry upland ground. The areas along the river, as well as a few pockets surrounding spring seeps are dense with vegetation which provides valuable shade as cover for an abundance OF HEALTHY AND of elk, mule deer and moose. VEGETATED LAND The majorityHunting | Rofan chingthe | Flsurroundingy Fishing | Conservation property is privately held, including a large legacy ranch with holdings to the east and north of the DM Ranch; the vast majority of this neighboring ranch is protected in perpetuity by a series of conservation easements with The Nature Conservancy. The ranch shares a border with the Pike National Forest on the southern boundary. This provides direct access to renowned hunting, as well as idyllic hiking terrain. A short distance south of the shared boundary with Pike National Forest the land becomes the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Area. Buffalo Peaks is a vast 41,000- acre designated wilderness area comprised of rolling meadows teeming with wildflowers, dark timber draws and sprawling aspen groves, all of which look up to the namesake peaks which tower above. Hunting | Ranching | Fly Fishing | Conservation Hunting | Ranching | Fly Fishing | Conservation Hunting | Ranching | Fly Fishing | Conservation With the confluence of Twelvemile Creek and the South Fork of the South Platte on the deeded acreage the DM Ranch benefits from its ideal positioning at the top of the drainage. Meandering down from the heights of Weston Peak (13,572’), Ptarmigan Peak (13,739’) and numerous other towering pinnacles a host of high mountains streams and creeks converge to ultimately form the South Fork of the South Platte, which gets its start earnest on the DM Ranch. The resulting bug life from these multiple water sources is nothing short of incredible. With approximately 2 ½ miles of the South Fork of the South Platte, and 1/5 mile of Twelvemile Creek the ranch the resident population of hearty browns is well fed from a veritable buffet of aquatic insects and terrestrials. The stream composition Live Water on the ranch is classic MULTIPLE SOURCES structure featuring long OF WATER PROVE FOR undercut banks, gravel- bottom riffles and deep GREAT FISHING holding water near a series of beaver dams. In order to further improve habitat in the form of deeper holding water current ownership is working with a team of fishery consultants and biologists to create a series of beaver mimicry structures to encourage natural dam development. Ahead of the design work for these structures a thorough assessment of the bug life and fish populations was carried out as a baseline for the work. The results of these studies read like a book on popular fly patterns – every major class of bugs was represented in healthy abundance from caddisflies to mayflies and stoneflies, all in a variety of types, sizes and colors. This doesn’t even take into account the abundance of hoppers, ant and beetles; seen trout feast on at the DM Ranch. Livewater (Cont’d) An electrofishing survey was also completed in conjunction with the analysis and design work; suffice to say, that the fishery health on the DM Ranch is excellent and continuing to improve. A variety of age classes were represented throughout the system with the resident pig being a wild brown trout that measured at 27.5”. To quote the 2018 report, “The existing trout food supply is excellent, with abundant suckers and diverse aquatic macroinvertebrate populations to sustain all trout size classes. The aquatic insects suggest that this is a well oxygenated stream with a more than adequate biomass to support healthy trout populations.” Scientific studies aside, it’s hard to beat catching wild trout on a variety of flies all while being surrounded by the grand splendor of the Colorado high country, and most likely a few deer and elk. Hunting and Other Recreation Located in GMU 49, the DM Ranch benefits from its positioning nearby and adjacent to a vast swath of public land. To the south and east is the Pike National Forest and Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Area. To the north is a Black Mountain which is owned by the Colorado State Land Board. The DM Ranch offers protein-rich high mountain grasses and an abundance of water for the herds of elk and deer which pass from Black Mountain to the National Forest and back. The ranch qualifies and receives several elk and deer vouchers per year. Additionally, there is a thriving moose population in the area that can be found frequently foraging along the riparian corridor of the ranch. In addition to the vast fishing options throughout the South Park area, hiking trails are plentiful. Thirty minutes to the south enjoy the adrenaline pumping whitewater on the famed Arkansas River. Location • 15 MIN FROM FAIRPLAY • 40 MIN FROM BRECKENRIDGE • 96 MILES FROM DENVER • 78 MILES FROM COLORADO SPRINGS The DM Ranch is conveniently located in close proximity to commercial air service, nearby private air capabilities, exceptional downhill skiing and an abundance of backcountry access. The ranch is located approximately 15 minutes south of the mountain community of Fairplay, the county seat of Park County. The historic mining town offers numerous dining options as well as a recently built grocery store, library, bowling alley and an informative and friendly fly fishing shop. Access to the ranch is on US Highway 285, a well-maintained road offering a direct route to Denver (96 miles) while Colorado Springs is easily accessed via nearby US Highway 24 (78 miles). The last few miles are on County Road 22 which is well maintained year-round. Private air travel is accommodated 25 miles from the ranch at the 8,300 foot Buena Vista airstrip. The non-controlled Buena Vista airfield offers a fully lighted strip complete with several types of fuel including Jet A. Premier alpine skiing is available and abundant 40 minutes from the ranch in Breckenridge via the scenic Hoosier Pass. This road is kept open throughout the year, giving the ranch owners and guests immediate access to exceptional fine dining, boutique shopping and alpine skiing. Breckenridge features over 2,300 acres of skiable terrain ranging from beginner friendly slopes to expert terrain spanning four peaks of the majestic Tenmile Mountain Range.

The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Study Area, Pike and San Isabel National Forests, Lake, Park, and Chaffee Counties, Colo.
