Powder Basin Ranch: 2,000 acre ranch for sale in Colorado with private ski area

Unlike any other ranch in Colorado, the secluded 2,000±-acre Powder Basin Ranch offers a private ski area that boasts more than 30 high-elevation ski runs and enjoys boundless terrain ranging from groomed runs to expert trails, steep chutes, open bowls and vast glades—all accessible by a luxury heated Snowcat. The ranch offers exclusive road access to thousands of acres of public lands and boasts natural features and views worthy of a national park with mountain meadows,  commanding cliffs and free-standing rock spires. A network of extensive trails provides four seasons of recreation from alpine and Nordic skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing to horseback riding, climbing and mountain biking. The forest, a healthy mix of mature aspen, spruce, pine and fir, offers world-class hunting. There are several fishing ponds and a 20-acre lake stocked with full-bodied rainbow and cutthroat trout. Powder Basin Ranch is simply an unparalleled opportunity.
