Inspiration Ridge Ranch is private
sanctuary perched atop 396.04± breathtaking acres - designed for those who
appreciate refined luxury, the outdoors and a lifestyle where adventure and
inspiration meet! This extraordinary mountain retreat offers sweeping panoramic
views that stretch across the surrounding peaks and valleys to create
spectacular vistas in every direction. Set amongst a backdrop of towering rock
outcroppings and blended with pines and golden aspens you will enjoy its
rolling meadows, tranquil ponds and year-round stream, with even more to
explore in the thousands of acres of wilderness in the adjoining BLM Lands.
Marvel at the variety of abundant wildlife from the resident Rocky Mountain
Elk, mule deer, black bear, mountain lion, bald eagles, black squirrels, wild turkeys and more. Whether hunting,
horseback riding, hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing or simply escaping into the
pristine landscape, Inspiration Ridge Ranch is truly a one-of-a-kind
property providing ultimate privacy and offering endless recreational
opportunities just beyond your doorstep.
At
the heart of the property is a custom-crafted 4,812-square-foot D-log home - a
solidly built masterpiece that seamlessly blends rustic elegance with timeless
craftsmanship. Sustainability and reliability are thoughtfully integrated into
the property with a modern solar power system, a 1-kW wind generator, and a new
15-kW Generac backup generator, all providing enhanced efficiency,
dependability and peace of mind. Originally built in 1995, and extensively
remodeled and expanded in 2013, the home showcases its exceptional quality and
design with countless custom upgrades throughout. A spacious floor plan
includes; (2) abundant living / family room areas, (3) bedrooms, (4)
baths (1) w/steam shower, gourmet kitchen w/butler’s pantry, dining room w/wet bar and beverage
fridge adjoining the outdoor entertainment deck and (3) special loft areas
(above garage, nook and observation tower).
The
tasteful mountain furniture and furnishings, which are included, compliment the
handcrafted custom cabinetry throughout - find rich hickory, walnut, knotty
alder, and cherry finishes with trim and doors accented with “Emtek” sandcast
hardware - all beautifully paired with the natural stone countertops. The
gourmet kitchen is appointed with a premium suite of Wolf, Sub-Zero, Fisher
& Paykel, and Miele appliances, fusion quartzite countertops, and complimented by (2)
striking copper sinks. Dramatic exposed wood beams frame the living spaces to
create an inviting and elegant mountain ambiance blended with enduring
craftsmanship. A combination of (3) stone wood-burning fireplaces, (1) gas
fireplace and (2) wood burning stoves, complimented by in-floor radiant heat,
provides a warm and inviting feeling of comfort in every season.
One
of the home's most uniquely captivating architectural highlights is the
dramatic 40-foot spiral staircase leading to an exhilarating observation tower.
Whether envisioned as an artist's studio, wildlife lookout, stargazing retreat,
or the perfect place to unwind with an evening nightcap, this elevated
sanctuary offers endless “inspiration” with 360-degree views from every vantage
point.
Enjoy
several other inviting outdoor living spaces that add to the year-round
enjoyment. Relax into a comfortable gathering deck with a wood-burning
fireplace and a Wolf barbecue grill - the perfect setting for entertaining
while taking in the colorful evening sunsets. Another unique area to really
experience is an extensive wraparound “catwalk deck” spanning 80+ linear feet.
This special outdoor space invites leisurely walks, peaceful moments, and an
ever-changing perspective into the property's natural beauty.
The
ranch is equally impressive beyond the main home. A charming two-level barn
(720 SF) provides ample space for horses, llamas, or other livestock, making
the property ideal for equestrian pursuits, hobby farming or ranching.
Complimenting the barn is a modern workshop (2,800 SF), constructed in 2016,
which provides abundant room for equipment, vehicles, recreational gear,
hobbies, and extra storage.
Privately
gated and accessible year-round, Inspiration Ridge Ranch is far more
than a mountain property - it is a rare legacy ranch where timeless
craftsmanship, unmatched privacy, awe-inspiring scenery, and limitless
recreation come together to create that quintessential Colorado
lifestyle. All the wonder and splendor you will find in a mountain ranch
while living self-reliant off the grid! Inspiration Ridge Ranch simply stands
in a class of its own.
