Featured Ranch

n Old World riddle poses the question: “By day, I live beneath the sun’s rays and by night, I remain by the fire’s lasting light.” The answer: a shadow; a familiar friend to the explorers who spend the

day amidst Colorado’s magnificent High Country and settle by the fireside to watch the evening stars emerge, unhindered by big city lights. From the spectacular mountain backdrop to the expansive forests that extend into the horizon, the magic of untouched wilderness seduces the senses and thrills the spirit, a call that is hard to ignore and even harder to leave. To visit is to be enchanted; to explore is to fall in love; and to part is impossible at Shadow Creek Ranch.

S h a d o w Creek Ranch Beyond any ranch development of its kind, Shadow Creek Ranch has pushed the limits of the expected and created an unforgettable recreational paradise that takes the effort out of enjoying the great outdoors by providing an array of opportunities to explore the diverse Colorado High Country without the day-to-day responsibilities of ranch maintenance.

“At Shadow Creek, we understand that not everyone is a cowboy,” said William George, General Manager at Shadow Creek Ranch.

“Some homeowners have never ridden a horse or been on a snowmobile, and there are those who have never gone fishing or hiked in the mountains. That’s why we’re here. We offer everyone the chance to experience nature in a way they’ve only imagined. In fact, if there’s one thing our homeowners share in common, it’s a love for the outdoors, and they all appreciate having over 5,600 acres to roam at their leisure.

Those who visit never want to leave, and that’s why this is an exciting time at Shadow Creek.”

Overlooking Eagle Nest Lake and the entire Moreno Valley from Angel Fire to Red River, and bordered by another 33,000 acres of State Wildlife Reserve, this stunningly beautiful tract of land comprises a remarkably abundant wildlife habitat.
