EAGLE'S WING RANCH
Coalmont, Colorado
$10,750,000 1,285± Acres
INTRODUCTION
In Colorado’s North Park, Eagle’s Wing Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a contiguous 1,285± acre, heavily watered, income-producing ranch in one of the state’s most scenic and agriculturally rich regions. The fully operational property includes a professionally managed 150+ head bison herd, capitalizing on the growing demand for premium, grass-fed bison meat.
The ranch is turnkey, featuring three homes: a well-appointed five-bedroom owner’s residence, a high-end four-bedroom guest home, and a renovated two-story ranch manager’s house. Positioned to capture sweeping views of the Zirkel Wilderness and Never Summer Range, these homes complement the functionality and aesthetic of the working ranch.
Eagle’s Wing is outfitted with exceptional livestock infrastructure including a traditional western barn, indoor and outdoor working pens, office cabin, quality perimeter and cross-fencing, and dedicated pens for bulls, yearlings, and herds. The ranch also includes summer and winter grazing acreage and produces an average of 1,000 tons of high-quality North Park grass hay annually.
A key feature is the adjudicated senior water rights from the Chapman and Chedsey ditches, dating to the late 1880s. These rights provide critical long-term value and operational security for both livestock and wildlife.
Founded in 1882, the ranch has a proud lineage of stewardship—first under the Chedsey family and, since 2007, the Beauprez family, who continued to build on its legacy through conservation-minded practices and the development of Eagle’s Wing Natural Bison, a direct-to-consumer brand with a loyal national following.
With unmatched water resources, robust infrastructure, and a unique blend of production, recreation, and conservation potential, Eagle’s Wing Ranch is a rare offering for buyers seeking meaningful land ownership in the American West.

Similar to Eagle’s Wing Ranch history, North Park has a rich history rooted in ranching, trapping, and mining. Initially inhabited by Ute tribes, it became a hub for fur trappers in the early 1800s.

North Park remains a remote, high-mountain basin known for ranching, wildlife, and its enduring frontier heritage.
