EMERALD RANCH Creede, Colorado | $12,995,000 | 508± acres | Two-Home Equestrian Ranch
Emerald Ranch is a 508± acre high-country property assembled from more than fifty mining claims, making it one of the largest private inholdings in the national forest near Creede. Two live creeks, Deerhorn and West Willow, feed ponds and run on to the headwaters of the Rio Grande, and elk, moose, deer and black bear are abundant. A conservation easement protects the ranch, and the owner plans to provide two years of hunting vouchers for the surrounding public land. Creede is about 20 minutes away, with yearround access. Two off-grid homes, each with a water well, share the land. The 7,034± SF Ranch House has three bedrooms, five baths, a vaulted great room with a stone fireplace, and a ground floor with seven horse stalls, a wash stall and a tack room. The 2,525± SF Lake House, a short distance south, offers two bedrooms, two baths, log-cabin character and valley views above a pond and creek. A hay barn and a competition-size riding arena complete the equestrian setup.
