Every once in a while a property comes along with so much to offer it is a challenge on where to start. Here is a 400 acre ranch less than 1.5 hours to Colorado Springs. The ranch itself is framed by a split rail fence on the front, an old covered wagon sitting out front to remind you where you come from and a mountain on the backside where, as the fireside stories would have it, lookouts kept an eye out for indians, outlaws and the like.
The old red barn, now refurbished, is listed on the State Historic Register and been home to over 10 years of barn dances, weddings, family reunions and of course a well indoctrinated John Deere Tractor. 400 acres includes rolling meadows where horses love to graze, deep forest of granddaddy ponderosa pine, a stunning ravine with the St. Charles River running through it for fishing & fun.
The log cabin was originally built in Tennessee during the Civil War era. Torn down and rebuilt here it commands a great location on the ranch and brings the authentic West to life with the old muzzleloader hanging over the door.
The farm house near the barn has been updated & an oversize garage added to it for storage as well as three additional bathrooms for the farmhouse.
The Caretakers home up on the hill overlooks the ranch and provides a beautiful home for caretakers or personal use. Water rights are being sold with the ranch as well as the opportunity to do a Conservation Easement if desired. At $2.5 mm it is a rarity and worth the trip.
