Coming to Market! Hanging Valley Ranch is the ranch property unlike any other!

In a hidden meadow, at the base of majestic Mt. Sopris, exists an ''Island in the Sky''; an offering that only becomes available once in a generation. Words and metaphor alone can't do this spectacular setting justice. It simply must be seen to be believed. Welcome to Hanging Valley Ranch. 55 irrigated acres surrounded entirely by National Forest. Situated at the end of a private, gated drive just 15 minutes from downtown Carbondale, the property comprises a modern-rustic main house, a generous 3-bedroom guest house and a gorgeous 4-stall horse barn. There's also an outdoor riding arena, dry lock corral, round pen, and a hay barn. The water here isn't just senior, it springs forth from the mountain in three locations feeding Nettle Creek. The tributary then meanders the length of the property feeding waterfalls and ponds that compliment numerous flagstone patios, paths and bridges, all a precious piece of the meticulous landscape design. Wildlife run wild and free, dark skies provide a tapestry of stars, horse trails run seemingly forever, and when the snow falls, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. For those with the fortitude and determination, ascend the 12,965 feet of mountain towering above your homestead and find the perfect line down to your backdoor. Those lucky to see and explore this magical parcel describe it as ''heaven on earth'' as there no shortage of miracles to behold here. This is the one-in-a-lifetime opportunity you've dreamed about. Don't let this one get away.
