Property Description
Unique to the property are striking art installations, including original pieces featured at Burning Man and placed throughout the ranch. These works are negotiable but not included in the offering price.
Royal Elk's landscape blends expansive aspen groves, spruce and Douglas-fir stands, meadows, and open ridge tops. The ranch's ski runs begin on high ridges and descend through aspen and oak-covered slopes to lower eastern meadows and oak forests. From nearly every vantage point are unsurpassed views of Deep Creek Canyon, the Eagle and Colorado River Valleys, and iconic peaks such as the Maroon Bells, Mount Sopris, the Gore Range, Elk Mountains, Castle Mountain, and the Flat Tops Range.
Wildlife is abundant, with a strong elk herd, healthy mule deer numbers, and excellent archery and rifle hunting. A private trail reaches the bottom of Deep Creek Canyon for secluded fishing, and miles of internal roads provide access throughout the property by foot, vehicle, or snow machine.
Royal Elk is unencumbered by conservation easements and is lightly improved with a comfortable cabin, a well-appointed yurt, and a new 3,000± sq. ft. machine shop/toy barn, all off-grid and powered by modern solar systems. Access is seasonal, with winter entry by snowmobile or included PistenBully snowcat. Behind three gated entrances, this remarkable retreat is only 35 minutes from Eagle County Regional Airport, one hour from Vail, and one and a half hours from Aspen.
