Wescott Ranch

In the mountains of Middle Park Colorado, Wescott Ranch reaches from the banks of the Cotton Wood lined Colorado River up through the silvery sage meadows and it tops out with mountain sides of Coniferous Pines and Aspen trees. The ranch is cradled by public land on three high sides and funnels down from these public land expanses into the creek bottom and pond that ultimately drain to the Colorado River. Also funneling onto the ranch are some of Colorado’s most coveted game species including elk, mule deer, moose and grouse. An average fall day on the ranch starts on the west’s famed Colorado River fly-fishing. It continues by walking some of the many roads on the ranch while wing shooting and finishes with an evening big game hunt.

Despite its wild and private characteristics, it’s located only 20 minutes from the town of Granby and its conveniences including grocery stores, restaurants, 24 hour emergency care and K-12 public schools. An hour drive’s radius scores the ranch owner the world class ski resorts of Winter Park and Steamboat, Rocky Mountain National Park and McElroy Field in Kremmling capable of accommodating equipment up to the light business jet (ARC B-11) designation. The City of Denver, its international airport and level 1 trauma facilities are only a two hour drive from the ranch.

Taking in views of river side hay meadows, the Colorado River, the 14,000 foot peaks of the Continental Divide and stands of Aspen trees is a five bedroom, four bath log lodge which underwent a complete renovation down to the studs in 2025. The lodge is fully powered by a Tesla solar roof, new lithium ion batteries and is served by new water filtration system and a brand new septic system. Most systems in the lodge can be monitored and controlled from your smart phone.

Wescott Ranch’s proximity to Denver and nearby conveniences for the family, diverse game pursuits including trophy trout and elk are what place it firmly into a limited and coveted class of ranches that are simply not available for purchase very often.
