Bighorn Canyon Fish Camp, a 70± acre Arkansas River retreat, has been in the same family for over 50 years, originally secured through a BLM land swap and never before offered for sale. One of the few privately-owned stretches of this scale between Salida and Cañon City, it features over half a mile of river—controlling both banks—on some of the finest trout water in Colorado.

The Arkansas River is a Gold Medal fishery spanning 102 miles with 1,500 to 4,000 trout per mile. Private holdings of this size are rare along the Headwaters' 150+ miles of public access. Wade fishing is exceptional; drift boats and rafts can launch from the property. Browns Canyon and the Royal Gorge are within an hour drive.

Fully surrounded by federal and state land, Kuntz Gulch provides near-exclusive entry into hundreds of thousands of acres of rugged BLM backcountry few can reach. The southern homesite is in OTC GMU 86; the north in draw-only Unit 58, offering elk, deer, turkey, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Select tagholders have harvested mature rams here.

Improvements include a 3bd/2ba home, steel-framed shop, equipment shed, well, loafing shed, and grid power to a camping area ideal for guests or outfitting. Ample room remains.

Day-to-day needs and your desires for an authentic mountain town with a walkable downtown grid of shops, galleries, restaurants, and the occasional summer festival are met in Salida (25m) and Buena Vista (35m). Both towns feature groceries, medical care, gear shops, outfitters, and other conveniences. Cañon City (40m) adds a hospital, major grocery chains, Walmart, Home Depot, and a variety of recognized retailers. Regional services in Pueblo (1h 15m) include medical centers, Costco, and a regional airport. Colorado Springs (1h 30m) and Denver (2h 30m) provide major hospitals, shopping, and commercial air service.

Private river frontage, its rarity and vast recreational opportunities define this rare offering along the Arkansas Headwaters.
