The “Live Lightly on the Land” philosophy of the Murphy-Larsen Ranch community is simple and consistent, and is reflected in the architectural character of the new homesteads to be built on the ranch. This is one of the most important aspects of the entire project, and is shared by like-minded neighbors and with the land trusts, who desire to continue the commitment to the preservation of the integrity of the Elk River Valley. Involving careful planning by pre-eminent conservation land consultants, the Murphy-Larsen Ranch is designed to give the homeowners every benefit and at the same time protect the land in one of the last unspoiled Alpine ranching valleys still existing in America.

New homeowners and their architects are asked to share this commitment. The results of that joint conservation effort are evident today with attractive working landscapes and ranches of the area.

Whether choosing a traditional or modern architectural style, log, stone, steel, or clapboard, owners are encouraged to be restrained… to hold back…to let the warmth and beauty of the home be a result of its quiet, respectful relationship to it natural surroundings.

The Murphy-Larsen Ranch offers home sites to special families who share a passionate commitment to protect this land, be a part of a true community, and preserve the ranching tradition.

We invite you to share in the joyful western experience that our family and guests have treasured for over 30 years. Ownership at the MurphyLarsen Ranch is living proof that preservation, recreational, and agricultural interests can come together to preserve the great ranching tradition and landscape of the American West.
