Located about nine-miles south of US Highway 24 and the town of Florissant, the 35.7-acre Ride Out Ranch was created with the mountain trail rider in mind.  The property is bound by Pike National Forest lands with the nearest trails from the property designated for non-vehicle travel (horseback and hiking only).  As such, riders can explore thousands of contiguous acres of forest right from the ranch.  The mountain grass pastures are perimeter and cross-fenced and have been well-managed.  Numerous species of wildlife frequent the ranch with the adjacent National Forest offering several hunting opportunities.Ranch improvements are accessed via an electronic coded gate and are not visible from County Road 403.  The main residence consists of a custom three-bedroom log home that was constructed with Swedish Cope style logs overlooking a seasonal pond.  Vaulted ceilings, Pella windows and doors, pecan hardwood and slate tile floors, cherry cabinetry, zoned radiant heating, loft area office and an over-sized two car attached garage are just some of the features the cabin provides.  Views abound from the wrap around deck, the most prominent of which, is Pikes Peak.  The six-stall barn features a heated workshop, ample hay and tack storage areas, adjoining paddocks with waterers and drive-thru accessibility.  The “Bunkhouse” has been utilized for the gathering of family and friends, though could facilitate any number of potential uses.An adjacent 10-acre parcel (under same ownership and not subject to covenants) is also available for purchase in increasing the grazing footprint of the property or as a separate building site.Other nearby recreational attractions include Mueller State Park, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Elevenmile and Spinney Mountain Reservoirs as well as Tarryall Creek and the South Platte River.  The nearest ski resorts (Breckenridge, Monarch Mountain and Ski Cooper) are located with an approximate 1.5 to 2.0-hour drive. Ride Out Ranch is a unique mountain equestrian property that provides both end-of-the road seclusion and far-reaching public land access.  For additional information, or to schedule a private qualified showing, please contact Brent Hedrick.
