Description

In the mountains of Middle Park Colorado, Wescott Ranch reaches from the cottonwood-lined Colorado River up through sage meadows to mountainsides of pine and aspen. The ranch is cradled by public land on three high sides and funnels down into the creek bottom and pond that drain to the Colorado River. Also funneling onto the ranch are some of Colorado's most coveted game species including elk, mule deer, moose and grouse. An average fall day starts on the west's famed Colorado River fly fishing, continues walking the ranch's many roads while wingshooting, and finishes with an evening big game hunt.

In every season the property draws you outside, from ice skating and snowmobiling on 1,000+ miles of Grand County trails to Nordic skiing and nearby resort terrain.

Despite its wild and private character, it's only 20 minutes from Granby and its conveniences including grocery stores, restaurants, 24-hour emergency care and K-12 public schools. Within an hour's drive are the world-class ski resorts of Winter Park and Steamboat, Rocky Mountain NP, and McElroy Field in Kremmling, capable of accommodating light business jets. Denver, DIA, and Level 1 trauma facilities are a 2-hour drive.

Taking in views of riverside hay meadows, the Colorado River, 14,000-foot peaks of the Continental Divide, and stands of aspen trees is a 5-bedroom, 4-bath log lodge completely renovated in 2025. The lodge is fully powered by a Tesla solar roof with new lithium-ion batteries and served by new water filtration and septic systems. Most systems can be monitored and controlled from your phone. Two cabins sit 300 yards south, tucked among aspens, ideal for expanding guest capacity and relaxed summer living, with updates planned for 2026.

Wescott Ranch's proximity to Denver, nearby family conveniences, and the diverse pursuits including trophy trout and elk place it firmly in a limited and coveted class of ranches that are simply not available for purchase very often.
