Set amid 151 acres of pristine alpine wilderness in coveted Old Snowmass, this extraordinary legacy ranch is a once-in-a-generation offering--an irreplaceable private retreat where scale, seclusion, and exceptional craftsmanship converge. Enjoy end-of-the-road privacy while bordering hundreds of acres of protected public land. The property is offered fully furnished, equipped, and ready for immediate enjoyment.

At the heart of the estate is a beautifully designed and decorated 6,917-square-foot main residence. The soul of the home is a dramatic, two-sided stone fireplace anchoring the double-volume living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of Mount Sopris. The main level features a chef's kitchen, formal dining room, a bar, a cozy parlor room, and a luxurious primary suite. The upper level offers four additional en-suite bedrooms, a gym, a cozy balcony sitting area and gaming tables, along with a private office showcasing some of the property's most spectacular vistas.

Complementing the residence is a 5,200-square-foot barn with four premium horse stalls, a caretaker's office, and generous storage for tack, feed, equipment and vehicles. The unfinished second floor loft presents an opportunity to create an additional 2,600-square-feet of entertaining, or recreational space. Nearby, a charming pond-side warming cabin provides a perfect winter escape--ideal for hot chocolate after ice skating or cross country skiing beneath open skies.

The ranch is designed for four-season enjoyment. In the summer months, hike or ride the miles of trails on property, which then provide easy access to Hay Park, Capitol Lake and the White River National Forest. Or one can opt to soak in the sun and paddle-board on the pond, or just enjoy peaceful moments among the quaking aspens. Winter transforms the property into a snowy wonderland with ice skating, curling, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling, all right out your back door. In the fall an annual explosion of fall color also harkens hunting season. Unit 43 is renown the world over for trophy elk and other game.

Water is abundant; East Sopris Creek runs through the property; senior water rights also describe irrigation ditches and a spring. The ranch is fully self-sufficient featuring brand-new solar inverters, battery storage, and generators. 7000 gallons of propane are at the ready when the sun isn't shining. When you're ready to explore beyond the gates, the Aspen Airport, world-class skiing, dining, and shopping are within easy reach.

Simply put, nothing is left to wish for at The Ranch--where the ultimate Rocky Mountain lifestyle is already in place, ready to be enjoyed for generations to come.
