The Clinetop Ranch is one of the finest luxury ranch properties in Western Colorado.

Thousands of square miles of the Flattops Wilderness and National Forest beckon only a mile away, and the ranch borders BLM. STUNNING LUXURY HOME Designed by an architect who has won the Summit County and Denver Parade of Homes multiple times, no detail has been overlooked.

The property is divided into two parcels, each with a water well for the home and an additional guest home, landscaping and livestock. TROUT FISHING Main Elk Creek flows through the ranch, and fly-fishing for feisty German browns can be excellent. The creek is visible just below the large windows of the great room and the master bedroom, and the sound of rushing water will lull you to sleep at night. There are several nice pools that offer great dry-fly casting to rising trout that often exceed 16 inches. There's also a pond next to the creek.HORSE PROPERTY Five cross-fenced horse pastures are watered by a state-of-the-art underground irrigation system, and a healthy hay crop fills the barn every summer.

Fences are horse-friendly and in excellent shape.CARETAKER APARTMENT The barn has a 1-bedroom, 2-bath caretaker's apartment.
