Ranch Information

North Fork Ranch

North Fork Ranch is a gated ranch community with a keypad entry gate. It is located less than 5 miles from Stonewall, CO and approximately 50-55 minutes from Trinidad, CO, on well-maintained county roads. Private roads maintained by the POA run throughout the ranch. Some of the North Fork Ranch parcels have power and phone while others are great for off-grid living. Elevation is between 7400-8400 feet with varied mountain terrain. Some parcels are very steep while others are gentle with lots of useable land. Tree coverage is primarily ponderosa, Douglas fir, spruce, and an occasional aspen. One of the unique selling features of this ranch is the magnificent rock out croppings you'll find on many of these parcels. The medicine of the "standing rock people" is abundant throughout this land, and we have found we love wandering in, around, and through, this area, and enjoying the majesty of some unusual and prominent natural and highly energetic rock sculptures. If you want more than rocks you'll find expansive views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains from several parcels as well, and for the fisherman in you, approximately nine of the sixty-four properties have the North Fork of the Purgatory River running through them, and the ranch is close to other great fishing spots such as Monument Lake, North Lake, Bear Lake, and Blue lake.
