Property Description
This property has been placed in an upcoming Luxury Reserve Auction. The list price is the opening bid only & does not indicate the reserve or sale price. In the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where golden meadows fade into the endless blue of the Western sky, lies a 214-acre sanctuary that feels like a world apart. Homesteaded in 1874, this Colorado ranch has journeyed from pioneer roots to a place of retreat & renewal, where up to 40 guests can come to breathe deeply, connect with the land, & be inspired by the quiet majesty of the mountains. Today, the estate offers a rare opportunity to continue that legacy, as a private family haven, a guest retreat, or a thriving destination for hospitality & reflection. The property spans 35 acres of private estate, 169 acres under conservation easement, & a 9.5-acre buildable parcel, all surrounded by sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristos. At its heart stands the Main House, where 19th-century craftsmanship meets contemporary grace. 12 bedrooms & 9 baths offer comfort, while carved woodwork, spindle rails, & antique details speak of timeless artistry. Leisure unfolds in every room, from the Old West saloon bar and grand dining hall to the billiard room, sauna, & fitness center. Nearby, the original 1870s log cabin endures, a warm 4 bedroom, 3 bath home with lofts and rustic charm. Beyond the red rocks, the Cottage offers intimacy & peace, with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a vintage kitchen. Its wraparound porch, dressed in willow furniture, opens to wide horizons & star-filled skies. The gathering spaces, campfire ring, BBQ pavilion, open meadow, volleyball court, & horseshoe pit invite celebration and connection. Once a beloved venue for weddings, retreats, & family gatherings, the ranch unites income potential with enduring serenity. Whether envisioned as a wellness sanctuary, creative refuge, or private mountain hideaway, it remains a living piece of the American West, a landscape of beauty, peace, & possibility.
