Resting high above the Roaring Fork Valley lies the pristine and private Black Bear Ranch. This 902-acre recreational ranch, with its lush alpine woodlands, offers a wilderness setting adjoining public lands, yet is only 15 minutes from Glenwood Springs and within an hour from Aspen. Fed by two streams, the 20-acre private lake has valuable water rights and is a sanctuary for wildlife including the resident swans, moose, trophy elk and deer. The property features a custom two-story, 3-bedroom and 2-bath log home with wrap-around deck that is off grid and self sustaining, powered by its own solar array. Set on a protected knoll above the lake, the home provides southern exposures and panoramic views of Mount Sopris and the Raggeds Wilderness, affording direct access to thousands of acres of forested lands for summer and winter recreation.
