all these assets. The Smith family has built on its historical ranching foundation to create a dreamof-a-lifetime holding. From the travois tracks of American Indians that became the well-worn and still visible roads, trails and settlements of the first Europeans to the paved highways, towns and cities of today, Sundance Ranch is a true historic landmark that continues to showcase the ever-changing face of the American West. “Sundance Ranch features a truly unique blend of investment-grade real estate with a highly productive commercial-scale cattle ranch,” said Nels J. Smith, broker and owner of Sundance Ranch. “When you look at its scenery, productivity, location and other potential, a ranch of this size, quality and diversity is almost impossible to find today.” “Life at Sundance Ranch is the ultimate Western ranch experience. It has great opportunities for hunting, fishing, riding, snowmobiling, skiing and other outdoor recreation and is extraordinarily productive. It’s a solid investment opportunity with strong cash flow. Some of the income opportunities include grazing leases, crop shares, hunting

There is a small home (c. 1919) and the remains of an original adobe home built sometime in the 1880s. The real key to this property, however, is the way it controls access to over 20,000 acres of the national forest. No one can enter this part of the forest in a motor vehicle without going through gates on this land, effectively giving ranch owners the “keys to the kingdom.” $2,450,000 buys the entire ranch, or 400 acres along the highway with the house can be purchased for $1,350,000 and the back country for $1,100,000.

1900s water rights. The owner has placed the ranch and water rights in conservation. This will ensure the wildlife habitat, fishing, open space and hay meadows will be preserved in its magnificent historic beauty and Old West
ambiance for all time. Drift back to a simpler time as your family gathers in front of the fire ring. Witness the spectacular sunset over the 14,000foot snowcapped peaks. Watch Canada geese drift in as the trophy rainbow and native trout rise from the 19-acre horseshoe lake. As evening sets in, enjoy the calls of the wild that pierce the silence from large elk herds that call the Flying Horse Ranch home. In the morning, saddle up and ride to another ranch jewel, Baker Lake, hidden high in the North Forty. As you present your favorite fly to the hungry trout, take note that no civilization is present. As mid-day approaches, ride into Pike National Forest to pristine natural alpine lakes and enjoy some of the most scenic beauty the high country of the Continental Divide has to offer. The lush sub-irrigated hay meadows boast the same qualities as the historic South Park Ranches offered during the turn of the century. This hay is known around the world for its high quality. The vast amount of high-protein hay was exported to Europe by ship to the elite equestrian enthusiast. With the protection of the irrigation water rights, this ranch will continue to produce some of the best hay in the world. The centerpiece is a newly constructed 10,000-square-foot lodge. This incredible structure was built in British Columbia using massive white cedar logs and reconstructed on Horseshoe Lake. This is one of the most spectacular and impressive log lodges built in North America, featuring a most exquisite and unique design with a warm Western décor. The huge log trusses supporting towering cathedral ceilings are a true work of art. The private bedroom suites have individual bathrooms and fireplaces. A separate apartment is fully contained within the lodge. The world-class commercial-grade kitchen is ready to prepare your favorite cuisine or entertain large groups. An Old West-style bar, one of many hand-carved works of art, is in the great room. A snooker table is on the second level overlooking the great room. Two newly constructed top-of-the-line log homes for an additional guest overlook the lake. An incredible new massive log barn has been constructed with extensive equestrian facilities. There are two caretaker facilities, a new ranch-style home and a fully functional multi-use older ranch headquarters a few miles to the south. The Flying Horse Ranch is just over an hour southwest of Denver on State Highway 285 and only 45 minutes from the slopes of Breckenridge. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Colorado’s history.

Until now, there has not been a property quite like this available in the Southwest. One and a half hours west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, the High Country L-Bar Ranch boasts some of the finest hunting in the state and multiple recreational uses. The ranch consists of 19,400± privately deeded acres and 1,200 state leased acres consisting of pristine high ponderosa pine country with golden meadows and breathtaking views of Mt.
