Sondra - KWR Ranch on 80 acres in Elbert, Colorado is nothing short of spectacular! The acarage, views, clear sky and wonderful looking ranch are beautiful! Some people love the beach - I've always been a mountain girl and often wish I lived out West. For now I can dream! Best of luck with this spectacular listing -  I'm sure it will be snapped up in no time!

Seems like a very nice spread on 80 acres central to metro areas.  Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam and the deers and the antelope play . . . you mean like that luxurious simplicity??  ;-)

Wow. All that wide open space would be awesome! Plus, I'm sure the air quality out there is much better than city living.
