Description

Just outside the historic mountain town of Fairplay, TheRanchOnFourmileCreek (dot com) spans a vast expanse of high-country grassland surrounded by panoramic mountain views and endless recreation. Over 1.5 miles of Fourmile Creek meander through the property, offering private fly-fishing in a pristine alpine setting. The landscape invites adventure—hunting, hiking, horseback riding, and exploration—all within an unspoiled natural environment.The ranch’s 2,012 deeded acres also qualify the owner for Landowner Preference hunting tags (14 issued in 2024), with direct access to adjacent BLM, State, and Nature Conservancy Grazing Leases totaling more than 3,000 additional acres (subject to agency approvals). Despite its seclusion, the ranch is ideally located 2 miles from town—just 30 minutes to Breckenridge for world-class skiing, extensive dining, golf & shopping and Buena Vista for whitewater rafting, the Arkansas River headwaters recreation area and the Central Colorado Regional Airport with a 8,300' runway. At the heart of the property, a 3,754 sq ft custom home offers four ensuite bedrooms, an open-concept great room with two-story windows, and breathtaking views of Buffalo Peaks and the surrounding ranges. A newly upgraded off-grid solar system with battery storage and propane backup generator ensures reliable, sustainable power. Complementing the home is an 8,000 sq ft heated steel barn with paddocks, ideal for horses or equipment. Framed by the Mosquito Range, Silverheels, Buffalo Peaks Wilderness, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and Pikes Peak, The Ranch on Fourmile Creek embodies the rare balance of privacy, scenery, and authentic Colorado ranch heritage—protected for generations through thoughtful stewardship and conservation.
