Mt. Taylor (13,561ft)and Mt Shavano (14,232ft) are just out your backdoor along with the historic Colorado Trail. From high peaks to low lined aspen groves, the Colorado Trail embodies the Rocky Mountains at its finest. One of the most unique aspect to the ranch is it proximity to Monarch Mountain Ski Resort.

Fishing on “Lazy H Lake” will be anything but lazy. Experienced or beginning anglers can easily hook into sizable Rio Grande cutthroat, native cutthroats, cutbows, browns, and rainbows. Trophy cutthroat and brown trout, weighing up to 5 pounds and 32 inches in length have been caught. This stream fed glacial pond is approximately 18 feet in depth, and comes with water rights that serve for a variety of purposes other than fishing.
Location Lazy H Ranch is easily accessible year round off County Road 224 and Hwy 50. Colorado is the fastest growing state in the country. The I-70 corridor is already maxed out and this area is a very logical direction for residential/commercial expansion from Denver. Salida could easily be the next Breckenridge or Aspen with soaring property values. There is also a commercial airport in Gunnison, CO, which offers direct flights from Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Los Angeles - drive time is less than an hour from the ranch.
“The best investment on earth is earth.” John D. RockefellerLazy H Ranch has been used as a year round residence but could also serve as a seasonal or corporate retreat. The best thing about Lazy H Ranch is that it’s an investment you and your family can truly enjoy. This is the type of mountain property that you could own forever, passing it down from generation togeneration.
