Description
Whether you're looking for outdoor recreation or peace and quiet, Elk Creek Ranch is the perfect vacation retreat. Set in the San Juan Mountains, 9 miles north of historic Lake City, Colorado, the home is cozy and the views are breathtaking. This unique location was the summer hunting grounds of the Ute Mountain Indians and it is told they helped my Great- Grandfather clear the meadows and dig the ditches. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of undeveloped forest and meadows, the quiet, comfort, and privacy are unparalleled. The ranch sits at 8800 ft. and has been in our family for over 125 yrs. The original barn and cabin built in the 1880s still stand. The vacation home was built in '70, improved in '86, '93, '02 and '05. Available year round as whole house or as seperate levels (depending upon season). NOTE- THERE IS ONLY ONE PARTY ON THE PROPERTY AT A TIME TO ENSURE PRIVACY. The home is spacous enough for a large family and affordable enough for the romantic couples get away. The driveway is a mile long dirt road off of highway 149(4 wheel drive needed in snow/mud months). There is a new well and boiler system to ensure enough hot water for all guest to shower back to back. Everything you need to enjoy cooking and relaxing, with two full kitchens and bathrooms. Besides the unique location and history, features include: friendly horses on the property (sorry not avalable for riding); access to national forest trails and road; nearby river fishing; decks; new beds; new TV; new washer and dryer; antique piano and a very large family dining table upstairs. You must expierience the history and surroundings to truely understand the magic. Feel free to ask for references for we have seveal return families. Visit Elk Creek Ranch today- available year round- and enjoy the vacation of your dreams!
