From News Nation:
“Lodge for sale in Colorado
comes with entire Old West-style town”
Interested in owning your own Old
West cow town? There’s such a place on a 320-acre ranch in Colorado, less than
four hours southwest of Denver. The property, located in Saguache County, was
bought by two brothers in 2005 for $730,033. Over the years, they spent an
additional $10.8 million developing it into a modern Old West town. “They left
no detail unconsidered,” real estate agent Adrienne Haydu told NewsNation
affiliate KDVR. “For example, the ceiling tiles in the saloon and hotel are
imported from Italy.” The brothers ultimately auctioned the property at a
“deliberate loss” in 2011, taking in just under $2 million, according to Haydu.
(“I guess that was their business model,” Haydu said.) The place has changed
hands a few times, and today, the entire property is selling for $4.7 million. Interested
buyers will not only find a saloon on the property (because what Old West town
wouldn’t have a saloon?), but also a general store and chapel. Other amenities
include a mini golf course, a shooting range, an outdoor stage, a hotel, a
dance hall, two original cabins from the Hoaglund Stagecoach line, a bunkhouse,
RV hookups, a five-stall livery stable and a barn with 13 stalls. There’s also
a three-bedroom, three-bathroom luxury “Ponderosa Lodge” on the property with a
gourmet kitchen and Amish hardwood flooring throughout, per the listing. In
addition, the lodge boasts an indoor glass floor that sits atop an indoor
stream, which is fed by a waterfall visible upon entering the living room. “The
property is incredibly unique and one of a kind,” Haydu said. “It’s old-town
charm with all the conveniences of modern amenities. All the buildings are
actual buildings and not just a fake facade. It’s a great horse property.”
