Cascade Ranch Summary
Cascade Ranch is a turnkey mountain ranch retreat lying mere minutes from Denver and Colorado’s Front Range. Situated at the end of a private drive and surrounded on three sides by Arapaho National Forest, the property’s manageable acreage and thoughtful, modern improvements will suit a wide variety of residential and recreational uses.
The 260 deeded acres of the ranch are well balanced including heavy dark alpine timber, aspen groves, and grassy open parks along a central riparian corridor. The property’s topography unfurls atop a peaceful valley setting teeming with wildlife and natural scenery. Anchoring the ranch is a 2,375± SF rock-and-timber custom home, which has been recently renovated and maintained with the utmost care under current ownership. A second residence, constructed in 2017, offers lodging for additional guests or an onsite caretaker to oversee ranch operations. Both homes are sited with tremendous views of famed “fourteeners” including Mt. Blue Sky (formerly Mt. Evans) and Mt. Bierstadt. Despite its impressive privacy, Cascade Ranch is located just eight miles from the town of Idaho Springs and forty-five minutes from the heart of downtown Denver. Numerous world-famous ski resorts along the Interstate 70 corridor can be accessed within ninety minutes.
Cascade Ranch represents one of the last true ranch properties close to Denver, providing a balance of privacy and convenience that few other ranches can offer.
