Recreational Land with Home for Auction in Westcliffe, Colorado
5100 State Highway 96, Westcliffe, CO 81252
This property has been placed in an upcoming Luxury Reserve Auction. The list price is the opening bid only & does not indicate the reserve or sale price. In the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where golden meadows fade into the endless blue of the Western sky, lies a 214-acre sanctuary that feels like a world apart. Homesteaded in 1874, this Colorado ranch has journeyed from pioneer roots to a place of retreat & renewal, where up to 40 guests can come to breathe deeply, connect with the land, & be inspired by the quiet majesty of the mountains. Today, the estate offers a rare opportunity to continue that legacy, as a private family haven, a guest retreat, or a thriving destination for hospitality & reflection. The property spans 35 acres of private estate, 169 acres under conservation easement, & a 9.5-acre buildable parcel, all surrounded by sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristos. At its heart stands the Main House, where 19th-century craftsmanship meets contemporary grace. 12 bedrooms & 9 baths offer comfort, while carved woodwork, spindle rails, & antique details speak of timeless artistry. Leisure unfolds in every room, from the Old West saloon bar and grand dining hall to the billiard room, sauna, & fitness center. Nearby, the original 1870s log cabin endures, a warm 4 bedroom, 3 bath home with lofts and rustic charm. Beyond the red rocks, the Cottage offers intimacy & peace, with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a vintage kitchen. Its wraparound porch, dressed in willow furniture, opens to wide horizons & star-filled skies. The gathering spaces, campfire ring, BBQ pavilion, open meadow, volleyball court, & horseshoe pit invite celebration and connection. Once a beloved venue for weddings, retreats, & family gatherings, the ranch unites income potential with enduring serenity. Whether envisioned as a wellness sanctuary, creative refuge, or private mountain hideaway, it remains a living piece of the American West, a landscape of beauty, peace, & possibility.
