Property Description

Welcome to The Ranch; one of the great legacy estates of the American West. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own 151 protected acres where exceptional craftsmanship, complete privacy, and enduring natural beauty converge. Tucked away at the end of a private road in Old Snowmass, Colorado and bordering public lands, this extraordinary property is offered fully furnished, fully equipped, and ready for immediate enjoyment. The heart of the estate is a beautifully designed and impeccably appointed 6,917-square-foot main residence. A dramatic two-story stone fireplace anchors the soaring great room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of Mount Sopris. The main level features a chef's kitchen, formal dining room, inviting bar, a stylish parlor, and the luxurious primary suite. Upstairs, are four additional en-suite bedrooms; each with their own name and style. The home's many guests each have a favorite. In the hallway a cozy nook offer a perfect refuge with a blanket and a good book. A stately office completes the wing, boasting views of the expansive grounds and mountains beyond. Complementing the residence is a 5,200-square-foot barn with four premium horse stalls, a caretaker's office, and ample storage for tack, feed, equipment, and vehicles. The unfinished upper loft offers the opportunity to create an additional entertaining, wellness, or recreational space. Nearby, a charming pond-side warming cabin provides the perfect retreat after a day spent exploring the property. And don't miss the chic tee-pee. Accessible year-round and all seasons, The Ranch offers unfettered access to wilderness and natural beauty. Miles of private trails lead directly to Hay Park, Capitol Lake, and the White River National Forest for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and endless exploration. Spend summer days paddle-boarding on the pond, gathering around the campfire, or enjoying the tranquility of whispering aspens. Winter transforms the property into a stunning alpine playground for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, curling, ice skating, and snowmobiling. Autumn brings mesmerizing golds and reds. The property resides within Colorado's renowned Unit 43, internationally recognized for trophy elk and other game. Water is one of the estate's defining assets. East Sopris Creek flows through the property. Water also flows via ditch right used for irrigation and to fill two ponds. And a permitted well provides the household water. The Ranch is fully self-sufficient with newly installed solar inverters, battery storage, generators, and 7,000 gallons of propane, with no reliance on the grid. More than a remarkable property, The Ranch is a legacy estate - a place where generations gather, traditions are created, and the next chapter of a family's story begins.
