Description
Behold 450 spectacular acres in the shadow of majestic Mt. Sopris - welcome to Turnabout Ranch! Boasting 360-degree views of the Elk Mountain range, the Crown, Huntsman Ridge and Sunlight Mountain, this former world-class cattle operation retains active agricultural status and grazing permits for access to adjacent public lands. Hay and alfalfa are still grown and cut on the property, thanks to senior water rights as well as the ranch's extensive ditch and underground irrigation system. Turnabout Ranch is also ideal for all manner of equestrian pursuits & disciplines. In fact, the ranch enjoys a rare set of entitlements that allow for a 40,000 square foot equestrian center! Recent approvals include a 20,000 square foot indoor riding arena, a 16,000 square foot horse barn, and a 4,000 square foot indoor round pen. The existing main residence can be redeveloped or expanded to 12,500 square feet. Three additional home sites can accommodate up to 7,500 square feet of FAR without the use of TDR’s. Gated and private, yet just a short drive to shops and restaurants. Gold Medal fishing, world class skiing, the town of Aspen and the local airport are nearby, and wildlife abounds. This ranch was legendary in its heyday, and will be again with the next owner's grit and vision. The legacy of the West as you might frame it awaits!
