Property Description
Just outside the Vail Valley, Castle Ridge Ranch is a rare legacy property offered for the first time since it was homesteaded generations ago. Spanning 650± acres at the base of iconic Castle Peak, the ranch features towering aspen groves, dark timber, alpine meadows, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking mountain views. Elevations range from approximately 9,400 to 10,400 feet, creating an extraordinary Colorado mountain landscape.
Land
Privacy & Views
Privacy and seclusion are exceptional. The ranch is bordered by wilderness areas on both its eastern and western boundaries and is situated between two of Colorado’s largest private ranches, creating an extraordinary expanse of protected land. From nearly every ridge and meadow, the views stretch for miles, including Mount Sopris, Beaver Creek Ski Resort, the Flat Tops, and countless surrounding alpine peaks.
Location
Despite its secluded setting, Castle Ridge Ranch is remarkably convenient. The property is just 20+ minutes from Eagle and Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), offering nonstop flights to major U.S. cities, just 30 minutes to Beaver Creek and only 40 minutes from the Vail Valley with world-class skiing, dining, shopping, and year-round recreation.
Water, Wildlife & Hunting
Six natural springs are scattered throughout the ranch, providing a dependable water source that supports an exceptional population of wildlife. Trophy elk, mule deer, moose, black bear, sage grouse, and numerous other native species call the ranch home. Located in GMU 35, the property also qualifies for valuable landowner hunting vouchers. Large migratory elk herds regularly travel through the ranch as they move between neighboring ranches and surrounding wilderness areas, creating outstanding hunting opportunities.
Historic Homestead
Two original homestead cabins remain on the property, preserving its rich history and pioneering heritage. Whether restored or maintained in their rustic character, they serve as a reminder of the family’s generations of stewardship.
A Legacy for Generations
Castle Ridge Ranch represents one of the last opportunities to own an untouched high-country ranch of this caliber. Combining a rich family history, unmatched privacy, exceptional wildlife, and close proximity to Eagle and the Vail Valley, it is a legacy property ready to be enjoyed and passed down for generations to come.
