Gooseberry Gulch Ranch, encompassing 273 acres near Conifer, Colorado, is situated along the Highway 285 corridor, a gateway between the Front Range and Colorado's high country. Located 45 minutes from downtown Denver and minutes from Conifer and Evergreen, the property combines mountain living with convenience. The ranch features open meadows, timbered hillsides, year-round access and diverse land-use potential, making it suitable as a private retreat, investment property, events venue, or development opportunity. The western portion of the property, spanning 106 acres, is protected by a Mountain Area Land Trust conservation easement, allowing for residential and agricultural use. This area includes three homes, featuring a primary residence with southern views and two rental houses. On the north end of the ranch, a 5.3-acre unencumbered parcel with P-D zoning provides a commercial-use component, previously used for weddings, events, and small-scale hospitality operations. These operations can be serviced by the historically significant and restored Clifton School House, featuring seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. The eastern, unencumbered 167-acre portion also features two additional homes: one with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, and the other with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Further residential development opportunities exist here. This portion of the ranch offers potential flexibility for 10-acre residential lots or potential inclusion in Jefferson County's Rural Cluster Development Program. To support development, water rights will be sold to a new owner, which can be allocated to individual home lots and used to create ponds as a shared amenity. The property size is 3643 square feet.
