PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Highland Springs Ranch is a beautiful property overlooking the Colorado River basin just outside the small mountain town of McCoy, Colorado. Rich in history, this legacy property combining 6+ old homesteads still has preserved cabins and remnants from the late 1800s while bringing modern comforts and amenities to this first-class, turn-key working mountain ranch. Views from this ranch are astounding because it is mostly secluded and surrounded by long-range mountain landscapes. The Main Lodge is tucked back off the main road and overlooks the valley of hay fields, a spring-fed pond, and open skies. Highland Springs Ranch has everything desired for a working cattle ranch operation and the amenities of a luxury mountain getaway. This property has multiple homes & living quarters, a lodge, equestrian facilities, and ten outbuildings providing plenty of storage. The Main Lodge and compound feature a custom home with excellent quality and craftsmanship. Remodeled in 2009, the lodge has a classic mountain cabin feel, an open-concept kitchen, and an entertaining area perfect for large groups to dine and relax comfortably. There are six guest bedrooms and seven bathrooms, a wet bar area, multiple fireplaces, a loft area, and a separate game room. Large windows showcase the mountain views, and the expansive outdoor patio allows access to the outdoors comfortably as you step outside. The beautifully finished Owner's Quarters are attached to the Lodge, completed in 2015. With approximately 1600 square feet of space, it includes a sizeable primary suite, open kitchen and dining area, fireplace, office, pantry, laundry room, and private deck. It allows for privacy with all the home amenities when guests visit the lodge. The current owners have great pride in ownership and have paid a significant amount of attention to detail on this fine home. Turn-key ranches like this seldom hit the market within reach of world-class destinations like Vail and Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The Garage & Stable workshop has over 7000 square feet of heated space and a well-thought-out interior. There are five garage bays with plenty of room for tractors, RVs, ATVs, snowmobiles, and all the toys and tools, with an additional lofted storage area. The meat processing room is complete with commercial features, including a walk-in refrigerator, stainless steel tables, and a sink. The main floor also boasts five horse stalls, a tack room, and a 90' drive-through, creating a beautiful and convenient equestrian facility. The second floor is a beautiful two-bed/1bath caretaker's apartment with a full kitchen, a great open room, and two decks/patios with stunning views. Attached to the caretaker's apt is a substantial heated bonus room. The Ranch Manager's House on the western section of the ranch includes a three-bedroom bath home, an older horse barn, and corral, and a large metal storage building for tractors and equipment. Highland Springs Ranch is located just 45 minutes from I-70 Vail Airport. With all the Vail amenities within an hour's drive, this location is built for year-round recreation. To the North, Steamboat Springs is just about an hour's drive. Steamboat Spring and Vail are known for fantastic restaurants, shopping, and world-class skiing. Other outdoor activities include mountain biking, hiking, camping, and more.
