Description
Scenic beauty, impeccable improvements, a recreational paradise, and year-round access are a few features of the Gold Pan Guest Ranch near Guffey, Colorado. This nearly 600± acre historic hay and cattle ranch has substantially transformed in the last couple of years. The owner’s vision of a guest ranch retreat is now complete with the addition of a multi-million dollar barn/event center and multiple cabin rental units of various types. Due to a change of life plans, the product of the owner’s hard work and vision is ready for a lucky buyer to continue forward.
The ranch has nine rental units of various types and sizes, complete and ready to rent, and makes for a beautiful wedding venue as well. On the other hand, the ranch is perfectly suitable as a family compound or private equestrian estate. The spectacular event barn could easily be converted into a residence if desired.
It currently features a sizeable commercial-style kitchen, grand banquet hall, restrooms, and first-class equestrian facilities, including in and out stalls and a large tack room with an attached personal gym. Four Mile Creek runs the length of the property, and hay meadows are ready to be irrigated using the ranch’s water rights.
The extensive equestrian facilities include cross-fencing, paddocks, a riding arena, and a wash stall. Various support buildings allow hay storage, a workshop, goat pens, and a very cool chicken coop. The ranch sits southwest of Pikes Peak, a mere hour and a half from Interstate 25 and the Colorado Springs airport. It is only two and a half hours from Denver International Airport and all of Denver’s social and business opportunities.
Yet, the area around the ranch is very rural. The all-weather, paved road that leads to the ranch’s gate has traffic measured in the dozens of vehicles per week, not hundreds per hour. It is rare to find a rural ranch with paved highway access like this. Gold Pan Guest Ranch deserves a close look whether you are looking for a business opportunity, private ranch, or family compound.
