Description

Ragged Mountain Ranch East's 2959 acres are exceptional in every attribute. The ranch is located on McClure Pass, a little over an hour from the Aspen Airport and Snowmass and only 35 minutes to the town of Carbondale, Colorado. Large acreage ranches, bordering public land, near resort communities are rare in Colorado. The ranch has miles of National Forest border, water rights, seasonal creeks, irrigated hay

fields, dark timber, aspen groves, and several elegantly restored ranch cabins. The ranch is a rarity with this proximity to a world-class resort town.Stunning views of Ragged Mountain and Chair Mountain from anywhere on the ranch offer the opportunity for many possible trophy homesites with existing underground electric. The restored 'cabins' on the ranch are each defined by their character and history. Immediately upon entering the ranch sits the old 'post

office.' This fully restored cabin was once an actual post office. Next up as you drive through the ranch are the twin set of pristine Beuten cabins that would be excellent for housing hunters, guests, or ranch staff. The current main house is known as the Clathis House and though modest, has six bedrooms and majestic

views. There is a large shop building and ranch manager's residence also. A hunting cabin and bunk room round out the improvements.

The elk and mule deer hunting is superb, with large herds of elk and solitary big bulls and bucks cruising the ranch. Located in over-the-counter GMU 52, hunters may purchase bull elk tags for second and third rifle seasons and archery season wherever hunting licenses are sold. Landowner tags for mule deer and other elk seasons may be applied for through the Landowner Preference Program.
