Nestled in the heart of Douglas County, home to some of the largest expanses of ranch land currently available for purchase on the Front Range, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to represent Running Bear Ranch. This offering boasts 333 acres of gentle rolling meadows, towering Ponderosa Pines and sweeping views of the Colorado Rockies, in addition to a magnificent residence. This treasure is an offering like no other currently available on today’s market.
“One of the many attributes associated with the Running Bear Ranch is its extraordinary location,” said listing broker Tim Clark of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. “Located between Denver and Colorado Springs, near historic downtown Larkspur, this premium location offers the finest in privacy and convenience. From the front gate, it is approximately a 30-minute drive to Colorado Springs and just 40 minutes to Denver.”
The ranch, located at 9268 S. Perry Park Road, consists of approximately 293 fully fenced acres, with the remaining 40 acres bordering Abbe Ranch, a 195-acre conservation easement, which shares historic significance in Douglas County. To the east lies the well-known landmark Raspberry Butte, and to the north sits another well-known landmark, Dawson Butte, which shares 858 acres of publicly accessible open space and features a five-mile hiking, snow shoeing and horseback riding trail.
Directly to the west of Running Bear Ranch is the 2,083-acre Sandstone Ranch, which backs to the Pike National Forest and shares 3.5 miles of common boundary with the Pike National Forest.
The perimeter of the ranch is fenced and its undulating meadows are ideal for grazing. Additionally, the property features two ponds and abundant adjudicated water rights that will transfer to the new owner.
The 12,810-square-foot main residence that accompanies the sale features four bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and was built in 2002 by Architect Michael Knorr & Associates. The home was designed to be environmentally thoughtful, and features views from every window, offering a combination of nature and luxury lifestyle.
Several well-designed outdoor living spaces appoint the home, including an open-air kitchen with cooking area.
“This magnificent two-story residence, built of stacked stone and stucco, offers many exceptional amenities,” said co-listing broker Bob Hier. “From the main level’s dramatic, curved dining area that perfectly captures the stunning views framed by its nine picture windows, to the home’s walk-out terrace with fire pit, this residence is an entertainer’s dream.”
In addition to featuring a main- floor master suite, the home boasts a formal dining room with coved ceiling and in-lay hardwood flooring, two side-by-side executive office suites with a two-way fireplace, a curved staircase with custom antler chandelier and more.
A 2,276-square-foot finished walk-out basement and additional guest quarters, totaling 2,830-square feet, are also included in the sale — offering ample space for visitors and guests.
Denver International Airport is less than a 60 minute drive away, and just 45 minutes to the Colorado Springs Airport. For aviators with private planes, Centennial Airport, one of the nation’s premier business airports, is just a 35 minute drive away, and offers numerous amenities, including a transient hangar and tie-down options.
