Scenic beauty, impeccable improvements, a recreational paradise, and year-round access are a few features of the Gold Pan Ranch near Guffey, Colorado. This nearly 600± acre historic hay and cattle ranch has substantially transformed in the last couple of years. The owner’s vision of a ranch retreat is now complete with the addition of a multi-million dollar barn/event center that can be partially converted into a luxury residence. Multiple cabins of various types make this a perfect property for a family retreat or even a guest ranch with rental income.
The ranch has nine cabins of various types and sizes, complete and ready to bring your extended friends and family or rent for additional income. The barn is permitted as a “barndominium” should the new owner choose to quickly create a luxury residence in that space.
The barn currently features a sizeable commercial-style kitchen, grand banquet hall, restrooms, and first-class equestrian facilities, including in and out stalls and a large tack room with an attached personal gym. Four Mile Creek runs the length of the property, and hay meadows are ready to be irrigated using the ranch’s water rights.
The extensive equestrian facilities include cross-fencing, paddocks, a riding arena, and a wash stall. Various support buildings allow hay storage, a workshop, goat pens, and a very cool chicken coop. The ranch sits southwest of Pikes Peak, a mere hour and a half from Interstate 25 and the Colorado Springs airport. It is only two and a half hours from Denver International Airport and all of Denver’s social and business opportunities.
Yet, the area around the ranch is very rural. The all-weather, paved road that leads to the ranch’s gate has traffic measured in the dozens of vehicles per week, not hundreds per hour. It is rare to find a rural ranch with paved highway access like this. Gold Pan Ranch deserves a close look whether you are looking for a business opportunity, private ranch, or family compound.
