Gold Run Ranch: A Legacy Awaiting Its Next Chapter
Overview:
Nestled in the Gold Run Creek valley, Gold Run Ranch, formerly known as the Stuart land, is a private haven spread across two distinct parcels. The land, rich in history and natural beauty, is making a vibrant comeback after the east troublesome fire, with flourishing groves of aspen, wildflowers, and the early regrowth of pine forests, thanks to a particularly wet year.
Parcel One: 51.56 Acres - 5744 HWY 125
Features: This parcel boasts a deep well, septic system, power, and telephone service lines (currently inactive). The old reservoir in the upper pasture fills during spring and provides a delightful winter playground known as "the bowl" for sledding enthusiasts.
Building Potential: With 4 expansive flat building sites, this parcel historically housed two separate homes, indicating potential for constructing two structures without complications.
Natural Beauty: Enjoy breathtaking views, springs on the mountainside, and a private retreat ambiance.
Parcel Two: 36.74 Acres
Terrain: A mix of woodland and creek access, this undeveloped parcel offers 4-5 potential building sites.
Historical Significance:
Gold Run creek, flowing through both parcels, was once a gold operation site. The hand-piled round river rocks, remnants from over a century ago, stand as a testament to its rich history. Tales of miners hiding jars of gold on the property have fueled the imaginations of children for generations.
Wildlife:
The land is a natural corridor for deer and elk, leading to the adjacent BLM land and the national forest. Early fall mornings might even surprise you with a sighting of a moose.
