ESCAPE THE HEAT AT 8700 FT BEAUTIFUL PRIVATE COLORADO RANCH - 200 ACRES

Secluded, fully remodeled ranch home nestled in the forest about 1.5 miles off the highway with great access with the only sound being heard is the wind blowing through the ponderosa pines. The 200 acre private property is surrounded by National Forest service land with over 100 miles of adjoining ATV/ UTV trails, abundant wildlife that live or pass through the property (deer, elk, badgers, bears, turkey, squirrels, rabbits, ducks and geese are all seen regularly) and 10+ miles of private mountain biking/ hiking trails on site. The daytime views of Pikes Peak and the night-time stargazing is amazing on a moonless night, the view of the Milky Way on a clear night is spectacular.

The home was completely remodeled in 2023 and has a modern farmhouse open concept design that includes 7 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and can sleep up to18 people. This property was once part of the historical town of Hayman, Colorado with lots of 19th century western cowboy history. The now ghost town of Hayman has 3 remediated mines on the property, 2 run down cabins with an old stove inside, multiple foundations/ root cellars, leftover supplies in spots and includes part of the Gottlieb Fluhman ranch (Gottlieb was murdered in the nearby Death Cave https://www.coloradocentralmagazine.com/really-happened-gottlieb-fluhmann/) allegedly by a Benjamin Ratcliff who later hung for murdering two members of the local school board in 1895.

Next to the property is the M Lazy C ranch (https://mlazyc.com) with horseback riding, chuckwagon dinners, guided hunting/ guided trout fishing on a Gold Medal stretch of the South Platte. Also nearby is Eleven Mile Reservior (kayaking, paddle boarding, sail-boarding, windsurfing, fishing, more mountain biking & hiking), Florissant Fossil Beds (fossilized trees and nearby private fossil hunting and hiking), Buena Vista (ropes course, hot springs, white water rafting, zip lining), Breckenridge & Monarch (golfing, scenic mountain town, shopping, skiing, etc) as well as Pikes Peak (drive or take the train), Santa's North Pole (Kids themed amusement park), Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs with Garden of the Gods, Native American dwellings, Cave of the Winds and amazing golf at the Broadmoor.
