Land with Home for Sale in Bailey, Colorado
3820 County Road 68, Bailey, CO 80421
Welcome to Rivercliffe Ranch, an extraordinarily rare mountain retreat where luxury, privacy, and world-class fly fishing converge. Set on 2.85 secluded acres along the North Fork of the South Platte River, this custom-built 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers 3,816 finished square feet and was meticulously constructed in 1981 with exceptional craftsmanship and quality that is seldom found today.
Rivercliffe Ranch is an exclusive five-owner enclave where each property includes a 20% undivided ownership interest in approximately 142 acres of permanently protected ranch land, ensuring unmatched privacy and preservation for generations to come. Owners enjoy private access to over two-thirds of a mile of the legendary South Platte River, renowned for its exceptional trout fishing, along with a stocked and aerated fishing pond and additional private creek frontage.
The river itself is nothing short of spectacular, flowing through open meadow stretches before entering a dramatic canyon featuring deep pools, rushing rapids, and long runs that create outstanding habitat for trophy trout. Beyond the private water, the river continues directly into Pike National Forest, providing miles of additional walk-in fishing opportunities with extremely limited public access.
Inside, the home offers generous living spaces warmed by two wood-burning stoves and a wood-burning fireplace, a two-car attached garage, and walls of windows that frame the river and surrounding mountain scenery. Whether casting a fly from your own backyard, relaxing beside the fire after a day on the water, or simply soaking in the serenity of this remarkable setting, this is more than a home—it is a legacy property that rarely becomes available.
With only five ownership interests permitted and future development permanently restricted by conservation easement, opportunities to own at Rivercliffe Ranch are exceptionally rare.
