Grand Lake, CO 80447(Grand County)

A custom-built Lodge and expansive home form the centerpiece of Zephyr Meadows Ranch. The Lodge is 6,235 square feet, and includes four suites with full baths, two half baths, three-car garage, spacious commercial kitchen, laundry room and a great room with a fireplace and a view. The home is immaculate, consisting of 4,460 square feet, three bedrooms, three and a half baths and a three-car garage. The house also includes a gourmet kitchen, fireplace mud room and fenced dog area. With these turn-key facilities already in place, the potential for this property as an upscale recreational lodge or corporate or family retreat is obvious.

The pristine character of the ranch is enhanced by an existing conservation easement on the whole property, but one which allows for dividing the ranch into three separate parcels, each with a building envelope. The parcels share a 273-acre common area, which also contains its own building envelope.

Recreational opportunities on and near the ranch are almost too numerous to list. Elk, mule deer, moose and black bear roam the ranch and the adjacent National Forest, capturing the attention of both hunters and wildlife photographers. Trout ponds could be developed on the ranch itself, or anglers can take easy advantage of fishing on Lake Granby, only about five miles away, Shadow Mountain Reservoir, Grand Lake and the Gold Medal Colorado River. Hikers will enjoy the spectacular trails of Rocky Mountain National Park, and ATV enthusiasts can ride on over 100 miles of trails in the area.

In the fall, Zephyr Meadows is a blaze of color as the aspens turn vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red, and catch the eye of photographers and artists. Recreation continues when the snow falls at the nearby downhill ski areas of SolVista (20 minutes away) and Winter Park (40 minutes away). Ski touring is a natural on the ranch's large meadow and in the adjacent National Forest. Finally, snowmobilers will delight in "backdoor" access to one of the state's finest groomed snowmobile trail systems winding through the Arapahoe National Forest.

Zephyr Meadows is remarkably accessible 12 months of the year, lying only about 20 minutes from the resort town of Grand Lake and about the same distance from Granby. Denver is only about 2 hours away via Berthoud Pass, making this a practical weekend retreat from the city. Whether you're looking for a property to be operated as an exclusive mountain lodge, corporate retreat or simply a luxurious personal getaway, this spectacular ranch should be on your "must-see" list.
