Cascabel
The Cascabel Ranch encompasses three miles of the San Miguel River and some of the most coveted private trout waters in southwestern Colorado. To local anglers, this stretch of the river is simply the Crown Jewel of the San Miguel.
An extraordinary property, the 318 acre Cascabel Ranch spreads across the San Miguel Valley floor, following the course of the river and including both banks for most of its length. No place on the ranch is more than 1,000 feet from this pristine, natural, undammed freestone river.
The current owners thoughtfully developed Cascabel Ranch over almost 30 years as both their own family retreat and a private fishing club. Noted Denver architect Peter Dominick developed the master plan for the property and designed most of the buildings, including two exquisite custom homes, four guest cabins, and a day house with a commercialgrade kitchen and dining room for 30 peop...
The current owners thoughtfully developed Cascabel Ranch over almost 30 years as both their own family retreat and a private fishing club. Noted Denver architect Peter Dominick developed the master plan for the property and designed most of the buildings, including two exquisite custom homes, four guest cabins, and a day house with a commercialgrade kitchen and dining room for 30 people. The buildings, which also include a spectacular pavilion, pool and spa, are clustered around manicured lawns at the center of the property to preserve the natural habitat and fishing experience at the upper and lower ends of the river.
At 6,400 feet above sea level, the ranch lies in the transition zone between the San Juan Mountains and the Southwestern desert with terrain and vegetation that combine the best of both regions. Deer, elk, bear, bobcats, small game, wild turkeys and eagles abound.
The property is versatile with multiple possible uses. Since 2008, the ranch has been used exclusively by the owners as a getaway, and is, in fact, a manageable size for a family property. Cascabel Ranch also has superb amenities for a corporate retreat or sporting property. Additionally, the acreage is divided into eight distinct tracts, suitable for development with buried electricity and telephone services.
Surrounded by national forests and federal land and secluded by high canyon walls, Cascabel Ranch is very private and yet only 30 minutes from the ski slopes, shops, and restaurants of Telluride. The ranch is easily accessible all year via a countymaintained road off Highway 145.
