The upstairs master suite is bright and spacious, featuring two walk-in closets and a large five-piece bathroom. Two bedrooms are located on the main level, with another upstairs bedroom separated from the master suite. The basement includes a large laundry room, a bonus room, and space for future improvements. Bordering a 640-acre State Land Trust section and thousands of acres of BLM land, the ranch is situated at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in central Colorado. Elk, deer, and turkey are common on the property, which is located in an over-the-counter elk unit. Historically, 70 to 80 acres of the ranch have been irrigated for hay production and grazing, and are currently leased to a neighboring ranch for grazing. The property is conserved by the San Isabel Land Trust to protect ranching and wildlife. The seller purchased an adjoining 35-acre parcel with a well for future development outside of the conservation easement. This parcel is heavily treed and private.
