On the market for the first time in generations, Vance Peak Ranch represents a rare opportunity to acquire a legacy quality property in a locale that is coveted for its wilderness attributes while also maintaining incredible proximity on the Front Range. Owned in trust by descendants John Evans, Colorado's second territorial Governor, the ranch has served as a summer respite and family refuge for many years. Situated at the base of the prominent Mt Evans (Mt Blue Sky) and in the shadow of Vance Peak, the property spans elevations from 8500 to 9800 feet and offers incredible mountain views. The ranch is characterized by its steep canyon draws, dramatic cliff faces, dense alpine timber and interspersed grassy parks and meadows. Corral Creek runs the length of the property from north to south and provides flowing water to a plethora of wildlife including a large elk herd, numerous mule deer, moose, black bear, mountain lions, bobcats, and many other species. A historic horse barn and cabin are situated at the base of the ranch in an open meadow flanked by aspen trees. A Conservation Easement has carefully protected this iconic property for years, but still allows for the development of three residences and additional divisions of the property. Vance Peak Ranch is all the makings of a Colorado mountain enclave for an owner seeking a pristine and rugged setting while being located just 20 minutes from downtown Evergreen and less than an hour to Denver.
