Cover Ranch

Colorado high country, big blue skies, quaking aspen, mountain streams, eagles and elk, and the history of rock and roll—this is what Caribou Ranch is all about.

The name Caribou Ranch evokes memories of an extraordinary place where the greatest pop musicians of the day gathered to be inspired by the beauty and spirit of the Rocky Mountains.

Just outside Nederland, Colorado, near Boulder and Denver, Caribou sits serenely at 8,500 feet in a private valley surrounded by alpine peaks. It is stunning, it is peaceful, it is a refuge, and there is definitely music in the air.

In the late 1960s, owner Jim Guercio was a young musician and entrepreneur in the entertainment business.

He was looking at

ranches throughout the West where he could build a music studio. In 1971, Jim purchased the Caribou Ranch with a vision to transform the recording industry. Guercio wanted a place where he could live and provide lodging, recreational facilities and a state-of-the-art recording studio for producing records and hosting the biggest names in rock and roll—a place where artistry would flourish and history could be made. And that is exactly what he created.

For the next decade, music legends came to work, play, ignite their creative process and make records. Elton John, Chicago, The Beach Boys, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Joni Mitchell, U2, Joe Walsh, Stevie Wonder, Stephen Stills, Earth Wind and Fire, John Lennon, Rod Stewart, Waylon Jennings, Dan Fogelberg, Amy Grant, John Denver, Willie Nelson, Badfinger, Charlie

Daniels, War, Michael Martin Murphy, America, Kris Kristofferson, Supertramp, Michael W. Smith, Jeff Beck, Al Green – the list is long. The writing and recording that took place at the Caribou recording studio resulted in sales of over 100 million albums. The ratio of albums recorded here that charted or went multi-platinum was possibly the highest in the industry.

Today, Caribou Ranch is a peaceful refuge far enough away to provide seclusion, close enough to enjoy all that Denver and Boulder have to offer. At 8,500 feet, Caribou’s majestic alpine character includes mature aspen and pine trees, expansive mountain views, an abundance of wildlife, live water in year-round creeks, and crisp mountain air.

Amenities include a beautiful owner’s home, guest cabins, a lodge, riding area, barn and equipment buildings.

Several years ago, Boulder County Parks and Open Space acquired about half of the original ranch, ensuring perpetual open lands adjacent to Caribou Ranch, and reserving for the owner access to a private trail system on the open space. The ranch is also close to Rocky Mountain National Park and has direct access to National Forest.

The allure of Caribou Ranch, defined by its mountain splendor and quiet privacy, speaks to discriminating buyers who can appreciate its unique natural beauty, ideal location, and rich musical history—all the reasons it has inspired those who pass through its gates. v Offered for $45,000,000.

and made the decision to become a conservationist instead of selling and moving on.

Mom got swept up in Dad’s dream; she went along for the adventure and struggled with the change for a while, until she learned to accept and then love her life on a ranch. Mom managed it by enjoying all the activities and fun that a college town offers. I could write a book about my Mom—she was amazing. More to the point, she wanted a memorial to my Dad’s dream and educated herself about conservation. She was an early board member of the Bitterroot Land Trust. She worked with Montana’s Fish, Wildlife and Parks to create two conservation easements, about 1,200 acres, adjacent to the Game Range so there wouldn’t be further development near the elk refuge. She helped to convince other ranchers to do the same, and now over 8,000 acres are Mom showing Bitterroot Land Trust around the ranch

enriching to them both.

My first two haystacks fell over. I used an old-fashioned model T chassis with a hay rake that took a little getting used to. It broke down almost daily. I stacked 33,000 bales that summer. I got in shape. I took a bath on Saturday and got drunk on Olympia beer Saturday night in Stevensville at the local country bar.

I raced horses with the hired hands. I learned about gardening. I heard hunting and logging tales. I cut down trees for fencing. I shot my first deer with the sun going down on the last day of the season with my Dad’s foreman. We dragged the deer down the mountain and cleaned it. I went to the ranch house with my Dad’s rifle and the biggest smile he ever saw. In the darkness he asked me why I was soaked in blood. I was so excited I didn’t notice.

A few years later, my Dad sold 3,500 acres of timbered meadows so that Montana’s Fish, Wildlife and Parks could expand their winter elk herd on our border. That led to other sales from neighboring ranches to create a great resource for future generations.

As my sisters and I grew up, married and had children and lives in other places, we always loved visiting the ranch, especially on holidays and birthdays. The memories are countless for all of us. My youngest sister lived nearby and took an interest in the ranch and helped out a lot. When my Dad passed away, she stepped up to help Mom in
