This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the last large properties on Carbondale's Prince Creek Road--a significant holding that represents a piece of Colorado history and a legacy in the making. ***Now being offered at a lower price AND with vested approvals for a brand new 7,500 square foot residence.*** Presenting Flying Dog Ranch West, a 229.5-acre legacy ranch offering an unparalleled location at the foot of Mt. Sopris. Situated just 3.5 miles from Carbondale and 29 miles from Aspen, the property combines serene seclusion yet is only minutes away from downtown Carbondale. The ranch is defined by its protected, 180-degree panoramic views and absolute privacy. Bordered by conserved lands, its breathtaking vistas are secured in perpetuity. This creates a pristine natural sanctuary, evidenced by the abundant local wildlife and a resident herd of elk that calls the property home. The property's extensive infrastructure is designed for a multitude of uses but is perfect for a private family compound. It includes three distinct homes, an artist studio, a private gym, greenhouses, and frontage on the Crystal River. ----- A cornerstone of the ranch's value is its significant water rights, including a senior right in the East Mesa ditch which services a high-efficiency irrigation system and a large pond. Operationally, the ranch is self-sustaining, with an existing agricultural lease that covers property taxes and maintenance, ensuring a seamless ownership transition. Finally, Flying Dog Ranch West possesses a unique commercial potential. Special use permits are included for hosting up to 40 events annually within the approximately 9,600 sq. ft. barn, which has been professionally outfitted with a commercial kitchen and conference room.
