Conley Ranch
An uncommon mountain property, just 45 minutes from Downtown Denver, offering scenic open space, three homes, and lasting conservation value.
Overview
Conley Ranch encompasses 106± acres of rolling mountain terrain in the foothills near Conifer, Colorado, just 45 minutes from Downtown Denver and minutes from Evergreen and Conifer. The property combines year-round accessibility with a sense of privacy and open space that defines the Colorado mountain lifestyle. With direct access from Highway 285, the ranch serves easily as either a full-time residence and a weekend retreat within close proximity to Front Range conveniences and high-country recreation. The landscape includes small open meadows, ponderosa pine and aspen forests, and long southern views toward the surrounding foothills and ridgelines.
A conservation easement held by the Mountain Area Land Trust (MALT) protects the ranch’s open space, wildlife habitat, and scenic character in perpetuity. This agreement ensures that the land’s natural beauty will remain intact while allowing continued residential, agricultural, and recreational use.
Three homes are positioned across the property, each situated to maintain privacy within the landscape. The 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom primary residence, called “Hilltop House”, enjoys a view of the commanding southern view sheds, while two additional homes have served as long-term rentals, offering flexibility for continued income or future family use. One of the two additional homes houses, the historic Conley Coffee Shop, is a recognizable landmark that speaks to the property’s heritage as a stop for travelers along this long-established mountain corridor.
The ranch can be expanded by adding the contiguous 167+/- acre ranch known as Clifton Meadows, also being marketed by Confluence Land Company.
