Description

7R Ranch features a stunning custom home and a heated shop situated on 73 acres that border more than 220,000 acres of public land. San Francisco Creek runs year-round through the property, offering over four-tenths of a mile of scenic creek frontage. Wildlife including deer, elk, and wild turkey frequently pass through the ranch at different times of the year.Located just four miles south of Del Norte, the property is also within an easy 38-mile drive to Wolf Creek Ski Area. The elevation ranges from 8,200 feet at the valley floor to 8,760 feet at the ridge on the eastern side.
With annual property taxes of only $5,054 and modest road maintenance dues of $175, this ranch boasts exceptionally low holding costs. Gardening enthusiasts will appreciate the raised beds and two greenhouses, offering ample space to grow vegetables, flowers, or herbs.
The 8,000-square-foot custom home, built and maintained by its original owner, showcases pride of ownership throughout. Previously operated as a bed and breakfast, the main level features six en-suite bedrooms—each with walk-in closets, individual thermostats for the in-floor radiant heating system (divided into 12 zones), and French doors that open onto a wraparound porch.
A gourmet chef’s kitchen includes two oversized islands, double ovens, a six-burner cooktop with a pot filler, two sinks, two dishwashers, and two microwaves—perfect for entertaining or large family gatherings. The luxurious primary suite offers French doors that open toward the creek, large windows that fill the space with natural light, and a double-sided fireplace that continues into a spacious bathroom.
Upstairs, you'll find a full bathroom, a massive office or den with custom cabinetry, and a large hobby room with a covered balcony overlooking the creek. This space was previously used as a professional quilting and sewing room.
