Location

Located in Douglas County, 10 miles west of Sedalia and 35 miles from Denver, with quick access to Castle Rock and the Denver Tech Center.

Locale

Situated in the Front Range foothills, the ranch lies just 2 miles from the South Platte River, 15 miles from Deckers, and minutes from the Colorado Trail and Indian Creek Trailhead. The surrounding Pike National Forest offers vast recreation and habitat diversity.

Climate

Typical of the Colorado foothills, the area experiences four distinct seasons, characterized by mild summers, crisp autumns, snowy winters, and lush green springs—ideal for both year-round living and seasonal retreats.

Hunting

Located in GMU 51, the ranch is frequented by large elk herds, mule deer, moose, turkey, ducks, and other small game. The ranch benefits from the surrounding one million-acre Pike National Forest, making it a premier basecamp for diverse hunting opportunities right out the back door.

Fishing

Just two miles away, the South Platte River boasts Gold Medal fly-fishing waters, home to some of the best rainbow and brown trout habitat in the state.

Recreation

With direct access to the Colorado Trail and proximity to Rampart Range, Lost Creek Wilderness, and Roxborough State Park, the ranch property is ideal for mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, and camping.

Horses:

The 30-acre meadow and existing corral make the ranch suitable for horses and livestock, offering ample trail access for riding.

Ranch Operations

While primarily a family retreat, Liberty Ranch also functions seamlessly as a corporate retreat, with facilities designed to host gatherings, meetings, and special events. The grand 7,500 sq. ft. alpine log home offers expansive entertaining spaces including a two-story great room, large chef’s kitchen, and multiple guest accommodations that comfortably host large groups. Outdoor living areas, such as the flagstone patio with a river rock fireplace, further enhance the setting for team-building or executive getaways.

Water

There are two wells, a spring-fed pond, and an underground cistern used to store water for additional fire protection.

Conservation Value

The Ranch represents one of the last private alpine properties of its kind in Douglas County with high ecological and habitat significance. There are no conservation easements in place, however it would be an excellent candidate for a conservation easement should the next owner choose to pursue one.

Investment Value

Rare opportunity to own a large, forested retreat bordering Pike National Forest in a highly accessible location near Denver. With its rare combination of luxury improvements, natural beauty, and close-to-town accessibility, the ranch stands out as a compelling long-term investment opportunity.
