Homestead Ranch

Homes for sale in Homestead Ranch, Bayfield CO feature properties on gentleman rancher parcels at 7,542 feet elevation with lots from 10 to 13.5 acres among nice stands of ponderosa pine trees and gamble oak providing beautiful fall colors with some steep terrain offering elevated mountain views. This rural community showcases well-maintained homes ranging from 997 to 5,072 square feet with private wells (potentially requiring cisterns due to low volume production), septic systems, and propane service, allowing horses and various livestock including cattle, poultry, sheep, and swine. The development provides excellent privacy due to topography and dense trees with access to BLM lands within half a mile ride from the main entrance, plus the south boundary adjoining a 5,000-acre privately held ranch where wild turkey, deer, elk, and occasional coyotes serve as neighbors. Located 30 minutes from downtown Durango and 21 minutes from Bayfield with county-maintained gravel roads, Homestead Ranch attracts buyers seeking spacious country living where they can enjoy the Sherwood Forest atmosphere of nature all around while some elevated lots offer snowcapped mountain views towards Durango and New Mexico.
