‘It has everything.’ See what makes this ranch for sale in Colorado so ‘desirable’
A ranch that appears to be more of a dream-come-true rather than an ordinary property has landed on the Colorado real estate market.
But this dream doesn’t come cheap.
The lavish estate, named Diamond Tail Ranch, is listed in Red Feather Lakes for a whopping $49.5 million. But there’s a reason for the hefty price tag.
“This is one of the most desirable and iconic Colorado legacy ranches. It has everything and is MASSIVE,” a news release on the estate said.
“Diamond Tail Ranch embodies the iconic image of an authentic Rocky Mountain ranch, encompassing a picturesque valley at the base of snow-capped peaks with a trout-filled river flowing through lush meadows and mountain pastures that are home to abundant wildlife and thriving livestock. It is a massive holding, with 17,651± deeded acres and 20,225± leased acres held by the ranch. This equates to over 59 square miles, and it is all in one single contiguous block, which is unusual for a ranch of this magnitude.”
That’s right — the huge property sits in all its glory on a stretch of land in blissful seclusion, overlooking Colorado nature. Of course, the ranch has many features and separate buildings that can house many people, including:
Gathering house
Owner’s home
Guest home
Manager’s home
Dagney cabins
Hilltop chapel
Agricultural facilities
Historic barns
Ranch Airstrip
According to the listing, the gathering house is considered “the focal point” of the entire ranch. The 2,509-square-foot home is suitable for large groups of people and has its own bar, fireplace, wood flooring, stone patio and fireplace.
The listing is held by Brian Smith of Hall and Hall.
Red Feather Lakes is about 110 miles north of Boulder.
