Avery Ranch - Hesperus, Colorado
Avery Ranch is a spectacular piece of southwestern Colorado property, just 20 minutes from Durango. This working ranch is 362 acres and includes 100 acres of pastures and hayfields,
and almost 300 acres of high-fenced wildlife preserve.
Avery Ranch has been used to raise elk, buffallo, cattle, and some of the finest performing quarter horses in the country.
The centerpiece of the ranch is the 12,700 square foot lodge or main residence. This impressive log home is the perfect place to host large events, corporate retreats, seminars, bed & breakfast or whatever your imagination can dream up.
Just a few of the details include:
- Western style log home superbly crafted using Engleman Spruce logs from British Columbia
and Red Cedar from Vancouver. - A greatroom with vaulted 40 foot ceilings and huge windows which look out onto views
of the La Plata mountains. - A stone, double sided fireplace which also opens onto the dining area.
- A stone waterfall with lighted aquarium.
- A commercial sized kitchen, custom bar and dining area with double doors opening
onto one of the many decks. - Seven bedroom suites, each custom designed on a western theme.
- In-floor heating throughout.
- A 1,372 square foot Manager's Apartment.
- A theater/media room with a walk-in safe.
- A conference center/meeting room.
- A gym and workout room
- An office
There is a one acre trout pond adjacent to the rear of the house, fed by a four tiered waterfall. Completely landscaped, it even has its own private beach!
The ranch is zoned commercial. There is plenty of room for a 5,000 foot private airstrip. And, the entire ranch is an excellent candidate for a conservation easement.
