Overview
Historic Hayden Ranch Land Opportunity
Hayden Ranch, originally established as Elkhorn Ranch in 1860, emerged to support the silver industry boom in the Leadville Mining District by providing hay for animals. In the 1890s, the Hayden Family transitioned to cattle grazing, constructing many of the existing structures. Sold in 1933 to the Callahan Construction Company, the ranch briefly bred horses for the US Army Cavalry before resuming cattle breeding for 14 years. Buildings fell into disrepair, and in the 1960s, the land was considered for development due to the ski industry success, with a neighboring lot planned for 40 condominiums, three of which were constructed. The sellers are motivated and willing to negotiate a transfer of ownership or gift it to a great steward of the land.
