Situated along 1.4 miles of St. Louis Creek and adjoining the Arapaho National Forest, lies the approximate 446-acre Byers Peak Ranch, a historic Colorado recreational ranch just minutes from Winter Park Resort. Located within the Fraser River Valley, just 80 miles from Denver, this ranch was the favorite fishing hole for President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who spent summers fishing St. Louis Creek with the current owner's grandfather. The property features brook and brown trout fishing in the creek and ponds, and has valuable water rights that irrigate hay fields and pastures grazed by wildlife and cattle. The ranch offers incomparable views of Byers Peak, the Continental Divide and Indian Peaks; fishing, hiking and biking right outside your door; and ideal proximity to world class skiing and other recreational pursuits.

Featuring:

• Colorado’s 5th largest ski mountain, Winter Park Resort, is just a 5 minute drive from the ranch.

• Water is abundant on the ranch with approximately 1.4 miles of frontage along St. Louis Creek with two trout ponds and wetlands.
