Evergreen, Colorado, is the closest town and is approximately a half-hours drive from the property. Denver International Airport, Centennial Airport, and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport are all an hours drive from the property, subject to weather and traffic conditions. Captains Rock Ranch is located within the boundaries of the 3,245 acre shared use Evans Ranch, which dates back to 1868. Additionally, the land is adjacent to the Arapahoe National Forest on the propertys westerly boundary, and the majority of the southerly boundary is contiguous to the Mount Evans Wilderness Area.
The land encompasses a diverse mix of tree cover, a year-round creek, pond, meadows, views, privacy, updated internal road infrastructure, shielding topography, terrific wildlife habitat, and a completely insulated feeling while on the property. The deeded acreage of the property is an excellent balance of both protective and undulating topography, offering northern-facing heavily treed hillsides, open meadows, southern exposed smaller hillsides, and transitional lower elevation bottom land that envelopes both banks of the year-round Pedee Creek, which flows from west to east through the southern portion of Captains Rock Ranch. An adjudicated pond offers a beautifully tranquil setting in close proximity to all of the buildings on the property. The elevation ranges from approximately 7,200 feet to 8,500 feet, and then nearly 9,000 feet at the top of Captains Rock.
The primary residence on the property is an excellent example of an archetypal Colorado log home: exceptional, masterfully built, beautifully designed, and engineered for mountain living. The adjacent barn and outbuildings make the ranch ideally appointed as a horse property.
Captains Rock Ranch is a rare find brimming with history and heritage.
