LONE ELK RANCH Ride out your back gate into the National Forest—and come home to elk in your pasture. Welcome to Lone Elk Ranch,a spectacular equestrian estate perfectly positioned at the base of Yellow Jacket with direct, private access to thousands of acres of NationalForest right out your back door. This is the kind of property that rarely comes available—where the land, wildlife, and lifestyle all come together.Despite the name, you won’t find just one elk here… you’ll find herds of them, along with mule deer, turkey, bear, and more. This is a truesportsman’s paradise, where wildlife isn’t something you go find—it lives with you. The ranch spans over 80 acres of lush pasture and rollingterrain, offering big views, open space, and the kind of privacy that’s getting harder to find in Colorado. At the heart of the property sits a customthree-story log home featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 3,316 square feet of craftsmanship and character. Inside, you’ll find rough-sawnfloors, exposed beams, and a warm, inviting layout designed for both everyday living and gathering with family and friends. The spaciouskitchen offers generous counter space and stainless steel appliances, while the master suite provides comfort, space, and a large walk-in closet.Step outside onto the wraparound porch and take it all in—sunrises, sunsets, and wildlife moving through the property day and night. For theequestrian setup, this place delivers. A fully enclosed 4-stall barn with tack room and hay storage is surrounded by multiple turnout pastures,giving your horses room to live right. Whether you’re riding your own land or heading straight into the National Forest, this is a true horseman’ssetup. And when it comes to storage and workspace, the nearly 3,000 sq. ft. Morton shop is ready for anything—oversized doors, concretefloors, and space for all your equipment, toys, and projects. No HOA. No covenants. No compromises. Just controlled access, unmatchedprivacy, abundant wildlife, and a location that puts you in the middle of everything Colorado is known for—hunting, riding, hiking, and exploringendless backcountry. Sit around the campfire, watch the elk move through the pasture, and take in the quiet that only a place like this can offer.Lone Elk Ranch isn’t just a property—it’s a lifestyle.
