Tucked away amongst the timber of the rolling Colorado front range mountains sits Saddle Mountain Ranch, an absolute outdoorsman's paradise! One of the largest properties in proximity to the town of Conifer, this ranch offers a very unique opportunity to combine mountain living at its finest with world-class Big Game hunting. Conveniently located only 35 miles from Denver, the privacy and ambiance of this 300-acre ranch create a feeling of being nestled deep within the rugged mountains of Colorado but is close enough to quickly escape to the attractions and lifestyle of the Mile High City.

Saddle Mountain ranch has no shortage of hunting opportunities as it offers some of the best Big Game habitat and resources. Even with the 2023 season in near sights, license oppurtunties are still available, through the leftover list, as it provides every year. The abundance of Elk that are known to frequent the property have been scored in the 300-350" plus range, while the many Mule Deer that gather and pass through are some of the top quality that Colorado has to offer. The density of Black Bears in the area has allowed for continued harvest success on the ranch over the years. The thick timber made up of Blue Spruce, Pine, Fir, and many pockets of Aspen trees offer ideal archery season settings, while the many clear cuts, meadows, and drainage systems throughout the property create ideal shooting lanes for many successful rifle hunts. Outside of big game, the hunting opportunity is expanded year round with a vast number of Turkey and small game populations inhabiting the ranch.
When not hunting, the ranch can be enjoyed from the mountaintop pavilion, which was strategically built to capture the extraordinary views of the front range city lights and the sweeping mountain peaks that encompass the Western horizon. Target shooting can be practiced from the home's deck outwards to the many established long-range target areas surrounding the property's hillsides. With over 7 miles of ATV and equestrian trails built throughout the property, time spent on the ranch can also be enjoyed by exploring by machine or horseback. A short hike or drive up one of the many trail systems will lead you to the base of Riley Peak, an iconic rock formation extending over 9,400 feet in altitude, which is situated atop the highest peak of the property.
The recently renovated home of over 8,000 square feet offers a luxurious and peaceful place to call home or retreat. Mountain sunsets can be enjoyed from the comfort of a gourmet kitchen overlooking the expansive views of the continental divide. Three fireplaces and cabin-style finishes throughout create a tranquil environment when settling down for the day. Observe the big game walking around the house, or settle into the private theater room for the best sporting events and movie-watching experience. The 4+ bedrooms and 6 baths will support many friends and family who gather to enjoy the essence of the ranch. The 3,200 square foot workshop and garage will store all of the toys and equipment that will be enjoyed throughout the property year-round. Owner financing is available!
