Description

This is your once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire 685.7 acres along the Oak Creek of Fremont County and create your legacy! This one-of-a-kind ranch feels like a sanctuary due to the conservation easement & partnership with Colorado Open Lands which has preserved the land's value & will continue to protect its natural resources, wildlife & panoramic mountain views. It incorporates 1 1/2 CFS of Adams ditch water rights. The ranch borders San Isabel National Forest. 160 acres outside of the conservation easement can be subdivided into four 40-acre parcels. Within the 525 acres of conserved land, there is a 6-acre building envelope where the off grid primary residence shines. The 100% solar & wind powered home was built ahead of its time with trombe style construction, a passive solar design allowing for radiant heat/cooling effects of the surrounding environments to be harnessed into the home's living spaces. Stamped concrete floors embedded with a radiant hydronic heat system & forced air heating from the Swedish built high efficiency wood-burning fireplace heats the entire home. The large kitchen is full of natural light with a window looking out to Pike's Peak & an island with a built-in gas range, extensive storage, breakfast bar, granite countertops, and a hand sink. The luxury primary suite oasis features a walk-in closet with immense custom cabinet system & wet bar. Cozy up to the gas-powered iron stove for additional heat and ambiance. The en suite primary bath includes a large shower, two-person soaking tub & double vanity. The ranch contains 4 outbuildings including a huge barn/workshop plus equestrian facilities. Private land hunting vouchers are established & responsible for harvesting trophy elk/deer. Additional wildlife includes turkey, bobcat, bear, antelope, mountain lion & a variety of native birds. All seller's mineral interest, if any, shall transfer to buyer. Create your dynasty with a dramatic backdrop like a scene in A River Runs Through ...
