About This Home
Welcome to Circle F Ranch, an extraordinary 558-acre alpine sanctuary that defines the spirit of the American West. Nestled against the vast expanse of the San Juan National Forest, this rare offering combines unmatched privacy, dramatic scenery, and world-class craftsmanship in one of Colorado’s most breathtaking landscapes. Perched high in the San Juan Mountains at approximately 7800 feet, this is a property that evokes the essence of Yellowstone—towering pines, scrub oak, whispering aspens, open meadows, and views of Mesa Verde, Menefee Mountain Wilderness, and the Sleeping Ute. Endless skies where the air feels different and time seems to stand still. At the heart of the ranch stands a spectacular custom, 5,782 SF log home, built with an artisan’s eye for detail and a deep respect for the land it rests upon. Expansive windows frame the ever-changing views, while warm timber beams, native stone, and refined finishes create an atmosphere both rustic and elegant. It’s the perfect blend of lodge luxury and authentic western charm. The gourmet kitchen, appointed with AGA luxury appliances, is masterfully designed to delight even the most devoted chefs and make every meal feel like home. The main level primary suite is complete with antique stove; steam shower and jetted tub. Upstairs, you will find a sitting area and two guest rooms with a full bath. Notable features include: Custom-made light fixtures from Wyoming Stately double-sided fireplace in the living and dining rooms custom built by local artisan, Runquist Masonry Metal details by local blacksmith Automatic window coverings Outdoor living space with fireplace, built-in barbeque, and television, Air conditioning, Alarm system. A beautifully appointed 5-stall barn features a tack room, hot and cold water bibs, pass through with four overhead doors- two standard and two oversized allowing for easy access and turn-around. Ample space for horses, equipment, or a car collection. Above, a guest apartment can be found with two bedrooms, full bathroom, washer/dryer, and well-appointed kitchen. Electric baseboard heat and a gas stove keep this space cozy in the winter months. The entire ranch is fully fenced, featuring two loafing sheds and a 170 x 120; outdoor riding arena that enhance its true turnkey Colorado ranch appeal. Private trails wind through the property leading directly into thousands of acres of National Forest for endless horseback riding, side-by-sides, hiking, and wildlife encounters. Roughly 80% of the Ranch is boarding national forest. Elk, deer, and eagles are your closest neighbors here. Whether envisioned as a private family retreat, working ranch, or legacy estate, this property offers something increasingly rare: absolute privacy, iconic western beauty, and a sense of freedom that can only be found in the high country of Colorado.
