Land Description

The Lay Creek 199, located just outside of Lay, offers a prime location with diverse opportunities whether it be for livestock grazing, hunting, building a home, or simply just owning an undeveloped piece of northwestern Colorado.

Land

This 199-Acre parcel of vacant land offers a unique opportunity for a wide range of uses, providing a blank canvas to bring your vision to life. The property is divided by County Road 17, which runs directly through the land for approximately 1 mile, ensuring convenient year-round access. On the east side of County Road 17, you'll find moderate flatlands with Lay Creek meandering through the bottom, while the west side transitions into gently rolling sagebrush hills that gradually rise into a steep ridge that ultimately overlooks the entire property and the surrounding landscape.

With power running through the property and the entire perimeter fenced, the land is well-equipped for agriculture, development, or recreational use. Additionally, the property borders approximately 75 acres of BLM land on three sides.

Located in both GMU 3 and 301, this property is situated in a well known area for hunting, home to abundant populations of elk, deer, and antelope. Whether you're seeking to build a home, graze livestock, or a location with hunting potential, this land provides the opportunities.

Recreation

Beyond the land itself, the property is within a short drive of several recreational attractions, including Dinosaur National Monument, Irish Canyon, Gates of Lodore, and Sandwash Basin ideal for days of exploration. The Yampa River is nearby, offering fishing and rafting opportunities, while the Juniper Hot Springs is also close by. With thousands of acres of additional public lands within close proximity for Utv/Atv adventures, this property has a perfect blend of agricultural and development potential with limitless outdoor recreation.

Location

The property is just 20 minutes from Craig, offering access to essential services such as grocery stores, hardware stores, restaurants, local businesses, a hospital, and gas stations.
