True Grit Ranch, adding a little bit of western history to my real estate summer selling season…….

HISTORIC RANCH WHERE JOHN WAYNE’S WESTERN CLASSIC “TRUE GRIT” WAS FILMED

This summer I’ve had the unique opportunity to list the True Grit Ranch, located on Hastings Mesa.  Working with my senior colleague and ranch specialist, Jim Nerlin, we’re representing the seller of this beautiful 340+- acre ranch that includes not just the historic structures you see in the movie, but also a fully renovated 6200 square foot log home, that is characterized by modern touches throughout and drop dead views to the San Sophia Range.

COLORADO RANCH LIVING AT IT’S BEST, WHETHER FULL TIME OR A SECOND HOME

Located off County Rd 58P, the ranch is a quick 30 minute drive to the resort town of Telluride and Mountain Village.  The ranch boasts lush green meadows, rolling hills and a natural ravine with Owl Creek flowing through.  Herds of elk call the ranch home, often times upwards to 50- 150 head grazing in the grassy meadow.

BEAUTIFULLY REMODELED LOG HOME PERFECT FOR VACATION LIVNG

The 6200 square foot home was fully remodeled by the seller back in 2019.  Trust that no detail was spared.  Iron touches accent the staircases, beautiful stones and granites are witnessed throughout the bathrooms.  A covered deck off the great room offers dramatic views in all directions while providing shade or shelter from a classic summer monsoon shower.  Five bedrooms make up the home, with 4 of them being wonderful suites plus a classic bunkroom for the kids or grandchildren.

GREAT FEATURE IN FORBES MAGAZINE

Forbes, our real estate affiliate, loves the ranch and did a great piece on the ranch that was featured in there magazine.  Take a look:
