Antler Basin Ranch

Set above the Fraser River Valley, Antler Basin Ranch is a 280-acre mountain ranch located less than three miles from the town of Granby, Colorado offering a rare combination of privacy, scale, and immediate access to a full-service mountain community. The ranch borders accessible Bureau of Land Management lands, effectively expanding its recreational footprint while maintaining the feel of a much larger property. Positioned at approximately 8,600 feet in elevation, the ranch benefits from year-round access and a diverse, highly usable landscape. The improvements are well-suited for both comfortable living and functional ranch use. The property is anchored by a 3,987 square foot log home featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a detached two-car log garage. Additional infrastructure includes a 1,750 square foot Morton steel building, ideal for equipment storage, ATVs, and shop space. A thoughtfully placed glamping tent site offers a unique guest experience, taking full advantage of the ranch’s elevated setting and sweeping views of the Continental Divide. The land itself is a compelling mix of high alpine terrain, with mature conifer stands, aspen groves, sagebrush flats, and open meadows that create both visual diversity and strong wildlife habitat. The property supports a wide range of big game and native species, including mule deer, elk, moose, black bear, and mountain lion, with documented harvests by the current owner. Its direct adjacency to public lands further enhances wildlife movement and seasonal use, providing extended range and exceptional recreational opportunity. Antler Basin Ranch also carries a unique and authentic piece of Grand County history that sets it apart from typical mountain offerings. The property is believed to have been the site of a historic encounter between Ute, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne tribes, adding a deeper cultural significance to the land. In the mid-20th century, the ranch operated as the Frosty Basin ski area one of the earliest downhill ski hills in Grand County leaving behind subtle but meaningful ties to Colorado’s early ski heritage. The terrain itself still reflects this legacy, with natural fall lines, open glades, and vantage points that continue to define the property’s recreational character today. One of the defining characteristics of Antler Basin Ranch is the balance between seclusion and accessibility. It is increasingly rare to find a property of this size and quality so close to a major mountain hub, offering immediate access to services, recreation, and year-round convenience while retaining the privacy, views, and wildlife attributes expected of a premier Colorado ranch.
