Hollow Horn Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Hotchkiss, CO

This old orchard/grazing land has been neglected for over a decade. Over run with invasive elm trees and prairie dogs it has been in serious need of help. As new stewards of the land we have already taken steps to reclaim this land's former glory. Elm trees removed and prairie dog numbers down we have seeded the land to radishes (soil structure) and legumes (nitrogen) to focus on soil health so that it can support a future planting of high elevation vineyards for wine production.Learn more about this land:Our farm is 22 acres of mostly pasture land that we plan on developing into high elevation vineyards. We have a whole slew of animals...goats, cows, chickens, turkeys, and a couple of farm dogs. Nestled in the beautiful North Form Valley on the Western slope of Colorado between Aspen & Telluride, you'll find spectacular views of the West Elk Mountains and many of the mesas and valleys that make up this region. Folks dont realize that the West Elks is an established AVA and we have some phenomenal wineries in the area including Stone Cottage, Jack Rabbit Hill Farms and Azura all well within 20min drive..... Mesa Winds Winery is practically our neighbor and is a walk or 3min drive. Amazing opportunities to float, swim, kayak, paddle board and fish gold medal waters just 10min away at pleasure park. Hiking, biking, climbing are all exceptional here. Eagle rock shelter is the oldest known archeological site in CO and top 5 in USA and its 15-20 min drive and 1/4 mile hike! A true outdoors paradise! We have 4 amazing neighbors and you can see their homes from most of our property but they are far enough that you will forget they are there.

For classic red-rock camping, head to the Colorado National Monument. Wake up to valley views from your tent or RV site in the Saddlehorn Campground. Or, head into the wild on foot and create your own backcountry campsite.

Craving mountain views? Head to the 11 developed campgrounds in Grand Mesa National Forest. Solitude-seekers should make camp in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area provides. In the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area, fish right from your campsite on the Gunnison River.

From camp, it’s easy to access Grand Junction’s outdoor adventures year-round. Launch a kayak at Colorado River State Park near downtown. The fast, fun Ribbon trail is a must for mountain bikers. The local Red Rocks provide hiking trails for every ability.

During the spring snowmelt, join in a local tradition: waterfalling. Hike into No Thoroughfare and Big Dominguez canyons to spot waterfalls. Act fast, because they disappear quickly!
