Southern Colorado Gentleman's Ranch Offers the Best of New & Old

By
Real Estate Agent with The Platinum Group Realtors

Colorado Mountain Homes are widely available but finding something that is a custom home, within 30 minutes of a town, easy drive time in a day from Texas, Oklahoma or New Mexico and stunning views is rare indeed.  Here is a very special find of 80 acres that can be purchased as a whole or in part.  Take a few minutes and read through this blog post for features & photos of this special ranch.

 

With 80 acres of rolling hills, meadows and a ponderosa pine scented forest the scenery is stunning.  Off to the West is a view that will never change thanks to a Conservation Easement on a large bordering ranch.

 

The opportunity to own a gentlemans ranch with a large home as well as an old barn and guest house is rare.  Finding a ranch like this that has been manicured and operated from the heart is a different story.  The look and feel of the ranch is obvious from the drive up off the county road as you meander up to the cabin & barn.  Taking off up the road to the main house it feels like you are entering your own private Colorado.  Watch for wildlife because these meadows are where they call home.

 

 

Southern charm meets Colorado architecture and views with not only a wrap-around covered porch but the look of antique charm and custom touches bring together a work of art that truly defines a custom Colorado ranch home.  With over 5,700 square feet there is room for everyone and a workshop every woodworker will envy.

 

Walking through the front door the two story great room opens up to a view that is breathtaking.  The woodwork throughout the house is but one example of the quality and custom touches found here. 

 

With the Great Room concept the living room opens to the dining room & kitchen creating a fabulous area for entertaining as well as the covered deck access from here.

 

 

A main level master bedroom and office as well as the upstairs loft library and bedrooms give multiple areas for family & friends to come and stay.  Downstairs is a walk-out basement with additional bedrooms, wet bar and a huge workshop.  With so much to offer the ranch has to be seen in person to fully grasp it.  

 

80 acres listed at $1,350,000 with main house, guest house and barn is available for purchase all or in part.  Call or email for details.

Kelly, what a beautiful gentleman's ranch indeed.  If I were lucky enough to live there, I don't think I would ever leave.  The views are breath taking year round and the wildlife....... what a wonderful, wonderful place.

Kelly, the ranch looks amazing and how great to have so much land where animals can roam and the owner can watch and enjoy.  I hope you get a buyer for the property soon!  --Krystal

Gary, thanks & it often is what Texas buyers are looking for (in terms of a ranch that is an easy day's drive up from Texas).

Krystal, the ground is  useable and the grasses are more lush because of being right at the base of the Wet Mountain range.  Thanks for the comment.

Kelly, this ranch is certainly a Colorado ranch with those fantastic views.  I like how you shared pictures of it in various seasons.  It is an easy drive especially for those in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
