GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ranch, was once known as Wildcat Gulch, a stage coach stop in the 1880s, has been operating for 57 years and consists of approximately 236 acres, most of which is bordered by 800,000 acres of ruggedly beautiful Roosevelt National Forest land. The ranch is mostly tree covered (sub-alpine) with meadows interspersed, and views from the upper reaches of the ranch of some of the highest and most majestic alpine (above tree level) peaks in the Rocky Mountains. These distant vistas include world famous Longs Peak and Mount Meeker, both of which are in Rocky Mountain National Park. Also seen are the Indian Peaks Wilderness and the eastern view of the Continental Divide.
The Middle Fork of the South Saint Vrain River courses through the main body of the ranch, adding to the ambiance of the setting where the primary improvements are situated. The river provides some very good fly fishing opportunities for the more experienced fisherman. In addition, there is a 1-1/2 acre stocked fishing pond near the lodge for children and adults. As the ranch is located off of the well maintained Peak to Peak Highway it is accessible year-round.

BROKER COMMENTS
For many years the primary focus of the ranch was on dude ranch vacations with the primary activity being horseback riding. Prior to the current owners buying the ranch, the previous owners saw that there was a demand for a conference center, which they subsequently constructed, and the increasing number of weddings they were hosting lead them to building a chapel on the mountain, overlooking the main body of the ranch. The views from the chapel are some of the most awe inspiring in all of the Rocky Mountains.
ALTITUDE 8,400 ft.
