Humboldt Peak Ranch

Long, gently sloping hayfields and numerous ponds are accented by aspen and willow stands along Macey, Stanton and Spring Creeks. Horn Creek also crosses the northwest corner of the property, racing through a healthy Ponderosa Pine dominated forest.

The ranch is one of Custer County’s first “clustered housing developments”, in which the majority of the ranch is protected by a conservation easement, while in the development area additional home and cabin sites are permitted than would normally be by county zoning. Water rights are tied to the land for agriculture and wildlife, ensuring productivity, beauty and value, forever. Humboldt Peak Ranch provides a functional example of the balance that can be met between conservation and development.
