Nederland, CO 80466(Boulder County)

Part of this propertys exceptional nature is its location along the front range. Most of the property borders public lands and Boulder County open space. It lies east of the Indian Peaks Wilderness, a protected wilderness area since 1978. With an altitude reaching up to 10,000 feet and the main compound at 8,400 feet, the ranch opens up to views of the majestic snow-capped Indian Peaks to the west. Sweeping pastured valleysan uncommon feature at this altitudeextend to the propertys western boundary.

A sanctuary for abundant wildlife, the ranch property is home to moose, fox, deer, coyote, mountain lion, bear, and hundreds of elk who graze the grassy fields and wildflower meadows in the summer and lounge beneath golden aspen trees and mature pine forests in the fall.

Several outlaying houses and ancillary buildings exist on the property, including the primary residence, two horse barns, two equipment buildings, four guest cabins, a six-room lodge with a gathering space, and a riding area. A handful of the buildings date back to the 1880s when the property was used as a mining base camp during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush era.

Caribou Ranch has benefitted from thoughtful and committed land stewardship practices that have enhanced the wildlife habitat and protected its incredible access to recreational opportunities on and around the property. A conservation easement ensures the property will continue to be a residential haven with a heart for habitat. A future ranch owner will find unparalleled natural beauty and tranquility on the Caribou Ranch.
