OLD COW TOWN RANCH - SAGUACHE, COLORADO

LOCATION

The Old Cow Town Ranch is an authentic reproduction of an 1880’s Old West town. The Ranch is nestled in a beautiful horse-shoe shaped rim-rock valley in the mountains of south central Colorado and is adjacent on 3 sides to public lands managed by the Rio Grande National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management (totaling 2 million acres). Access to this secluded ranch is approximately 14 miles west of the town of Saguache, Colorado via Colorado Hwy 114 and 1 mile of gravel county road. Gunnison is located 60 miles northwest of the ranch and is the nearest commercial airport. Elevation on the ranch is approximately 8,500 feet.

PROPERTY

This one-of-a kind 320 acre Ranch is limited only by one’s imagination. It is well suited to be run as a guest/dude ranch, horse/cattle operation, church/ boys and girls camp, a corporate retreat, or a trophy hunting/recreational – “own your own town” ranch. Some of the highlights included are the seasonal Mill Creek and Harence Irrigation Ditch that run thru the property; a Pond which provides water for livestock and allows pumping to main house and to the Mill House for actual running streams throughout the town.

The perimeter is fenced and some cross fencing is in place. Well on property is 140 feet deep with a 5,000 gallon holding “Cistern”.

Of the 320 acres, 60 acres are in lush meadows and pasture, with the remainder being rolling to mountainous terrain, scattered rock outcroppings, pinion, juniper and ponderosa trees. Historic remnants of the old Hoaglund stage coach line are the 3 cabins built - circa 1880 along with an old barn. The actual stage stop is located one mile north.

IMPROVEMENTS

The owner/main house is a spectacular 3,500 sq ft log home with a detached 1,200 sq ft log garage. Some of the highlights of this beautiful home are massive stone fireplace upstairs and down, a “weeping wall” and in-home stream in the main room, creating a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. The home has radiant in-floor heat throughout. The massive master suite has an indoor hot tub with deck overlooking the outside waterfall and pond. Water flows from the house to the pond as a rushing stream, falling over boulders along the way. A bit of peace and tranquility await you.

The “Town” consists of 15 buildings listed on attached sheet, along with an outdoor stage and amphitheatre. The “Town” can accommodate 28 overnight guests and has outdoor lighting and an outdoor sound system.

Materials, construction and craftsmanship of all buildings are done to the highest quality with attention to every detail. Additional details about the buildings that make up the town are available from the listing agents or may be viewed on our website.
