Sidney Peak Ranch, 12 minutes and 150 years from Steamboat

1,500 Acres 8 Ranch Sites Remaining Starting at $1,100,000 �

�

If you love Steamboat the way the rest of us love Steamboat, you’ll quickly recognize the special value of Sidney Peak Ranch. It’s the last, best place close to Steamboat...12 minutes to be exact. But when you’re here it feels like the entire valley belongs only to you. There are only eight homesites remaining and they are situated so your neighbors won’t spoil the view. Fishing ponds, paved roads, equestrian center, miles of trails, architectural controls, professional management and Sidney Peak Ranch is one of the few gated communities in Steamboat.

Ownership comes with a Premier Catamount Golf Club membership and all the sunsets you can take in.

For more information and a property tour call Vicky Hanna at 970.875.2424 or her cell phone at 970.846.1725 or contact her by email at vicky@sidneypeakranch.com.

The ranch was originally part of the Hoffman Homestead before being sold in 1965 to the Johnson family of Wheatland. Wagon rut impressions run the river’s edge, and remnants of pioneer structures are hidden throughout the acreage. The property is truly pristine, and it has been an exemplary wildlife haven for many years due to excellent stewardship by its current owners.

ontana has magnetism, an attraction for one and all, whether you dream of vast

acreages with herds of cattle or crystal-clear streams and spectacular mountains.

Because of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and cultural and geographic diversity, there is no dream that cannot be realized in Montana. The best of all worlds is centered in South Central Montanaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Yellowstone River Valley.

South Central Montana is the northern gateway to Yellowstone National Park and the corridor that links the prairie to the east to the Rocky Mountain Range. The northern entrance to Yellowstone, the only entrance open year round to vehicular traffic, is the original entrance to the park and is commemorated by the stone Teddy Roosevelt Arch in the town of Gardiner. In its earliest days, Yellowstone National Park and guest ranches in surrounding areas quickly became vacation destinations for travelers from the east, and the tradition of western hospitality was born. The Yellowstone River itself blazes the trail from the mountains to the prairie and together with its many tributaries draws anglers from around the world. The 671-milelong river is trout-choked and is the longest undammed river in the lower 48 states.

One of the most unique high country properties in the West, these 1,610 deeded acres present an amazing array of opportunities to sportsmen, equestrians and wildlife enthusiasts alike. 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. To ensure its permanence, a large conservation easement protects part of the acreage, and as many as 33 landowner elk permits are available from New Mexico Game and Fish.

The property boasts a perfect mix of conifer and aspen forests, open pasture areas (approximately half the acreage), rolling ridgelines and valleys with year-round Willow Creek running through the lower elevations. Solar-powered water wells feed three ponds. For sportsmen, the hunting and fishing opportunities in the area are endless and include Ted Turner’s nearby Vermejo Park Ranch.

A multitude of potential homesites offering dramatic valley-wide views and directly facing the Taos Mountains means the property has tremendous potential for development as a protected conservation community, an equestrian community, or a recreational ranch subdivision. Both Angel Fire and Red River ski resorts are within 15 minutes’ drive, and world-famous Taos, New Mexico is only 30 miles away.

Point Arena Ranch California v Mendocino Co. v Point Arena

H

Here is a rare opportunity to own a 127acre ranch that joins the Pacific Ocean. The ranch encompasses five parcels and lies totally within the city limits of Point Arena.

The property is zoned Agricultural Exclusive (AE) with a 20-acre minimum size. The western boundary is a mile of frontage on the Pacific with spectacular cliffs, ocean accessibility and absolutely stunning views. The eastern boundary, Highway 1, provides great access. This is the chance to build a private estate-quality home with ranch headquarters and unobstructed views, or develop multiple coastal homesites.

The ranch joins Arena Cove and the Point Arena Wharf. Ample spring water on the ranch ensures enough natural water for homesites and irrigated landscaping. The air quality is incomparable, and this ranchland is in one of the most attractive geographical areas of Northern California. Properties of this size and nature and in this locale rarely transfer ownership. $3,900,000.

Sprague River Ranch Oregon v Klamath County v Sprague River

T

The ranch headquarters is 40 miles north of Klamath Falls, Oregon in the Sprague River Valley with year-round access on a paved county road 15 miles east of Chiloquin. There are 2,200± deeded acres in this great feed ranch, including 1,500 irrigated acres. Three river pumps with electric pumps of 100, 75 and 60 hp provide irrigation water. Additional water comes from two wells producing 2,500 and 2,700 gpm with 125 hp pumps and 60 hp and 40 hp booster pumps.

Water is spread with five pivots. There are 300± flood-irrigated acres and two motorized wheel lines for two 20-acre fields used for horse pasture. A domestic well provides livestock water to corrals and water troughs in the pastures. Pivots apply a third of an inch of water per 24 hours, a proven way to maximize water use. The pasture is a mixed seeding, including tall fescue and white clover. The seller will provide information for accurate stocking rates for ideal grazing. These beautiful, even-growing fields have no wolf plants. The ranch is ideally suited for running all cows and calves or all yearlings. Mix them up to suit your operation. Seasonal weight gains are as good as they get. This part of Klamath County is renowned for good feed production. Livestock working facilities are outstanding. It has ample corral space and adjustable crowding alleys. Cattle of any size flow with ease. The large, well-lit covered working area has a concrete floor. There is a hydraulic cattle squeeze, calf squeeze and an insulated storage room for supplies. Sorted cattle can be released from the squeeze in two directions. In the corral area, there is a large sand-filled arena for training stock

horses or roping and cow penning contests. There are two modern three-bedroom, two-bath frame homes of 2,000± square feet and a large bunkhouse and tack room attached to a 2,000-squarefoot, concrete-floored, insulated shop. Real estate taxes for 2007/2008 are approximately $5,450.

Waterfowl habitat is great with about three miles of Sprague River frontage, providing seasonal duck and goose hunting. The river is protected with electric fence. It would be hard to find a better, more productive livestock operation in Klamath County. $4,200,000.

Burns Saddlery Opens a New Door on Historic Main Street in Park City, Utah

B

urns Saddlery first came about in 1876 by current co-owner Danna Burns-Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great-great grandfather, Miles Lamonie Burns, a renowned blacksmith and harness maker in Loa, Utah during the pioneer days of Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild frontier. His son, Vivian Burns, followed

in his footsteps by becoming a high-quality harness maker himself and eventually opened the flagship Burns Harness Shop in Salina, Utah.

Today, 132 years later, 4th, 5th and 6th generation Burns family members maintain the long-standing tradition designing, manufacturing and supplying top-of-the-line leather goods, including saddles, boots, hats, clothing, belts, chaps and cowboy necessities and accessories to the cowboy way of life. Recently, they took steps to expand the Burns Saddlery legacy in a new direction aimed at capturing the attention of the western traveler, with the opening of a new store, Burns Cowboy Shop, in Park City, Utah.
