For those seeking adventure and outdoor recreation, Fellows Ranch is the ultimate Colorado escape. As listing agent Christy Clettenberg tells us, the 22-acre Rocky Mountain retreat "is the culmination of a dream and a passion for creating a family compound for multiple generations to enjoy and experience together."
The property's magnetic pull begins with its inspiring setting nestled against the breathtaking backdrop of Mt. Sopris, Chair Mountain, and Capitol Peak, coupled with its collection of country club amenities. Situated on a ridge with unobstructed views and set midway between Basalt and Carbondale, Fellows Ranch is comprised of a fully furnished main house and a massive 2,000-square-foot pavilion with pergola overlooking a picturesque 25,000-square-foot pond stocked with rainbow trout. The Pavilion, with its retractable hidden clear walls, radiant heating, air conditioning, kitchen, bar, pizza oven, grill, 85-inch TV, gas fire pit, custom billiard table, pinball, foosball, hot tub, sauna, and full bath, offers endless possibilities for entertainment and leisure.
Clettenberg paints a vivid picture of life at the ranch: "Imagine shooting clay pigeons against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful horizons imaginable. Enjoy s'mores under the evening stars around the large wood-burning fire pit, which comfortably seats 12 people. Challenge friends to a friendly match on the new Pickleball court, complete with professional-grade lighting and faux boxwood hedges. Nestled among the trees, the court offers stunning views of Mt. Sopris while providing protection from the wind."
A playground for outdoor enthusiasts, the ranch offers numerous "toys" meant to draw you further into the Western spirit of adventure. Explore the surrounding area on a snowmobile or Canam Side-by-Side, or embark on a whitewater rafting adventure with the provided raft and trailer. The property's tool shop is fully stocked "to house all your fly fishing, mountain biking, and rafting gear," says Clettenberg. There's even a ski tuning room, on-site gas station, and water truck. The pond is fully lined with a floating dock and maintained for swimming.
When it's time to relax and unwind at the end of a long day outdoors, the 10,000+ square foot Farmhouse-inspired main residence answers the call with its luxurious interior appointments, rustic-inspired decor, and ample space for multiple generations of families to gather. With eight or more bedrooms and 8.5 baths, the home is an entertainer's dream with multiple living areas, offices, loft areas, and a second hot tub. Among the interior highlights is the grand, open living room – furnished by A Great Find Interior Design – with its wood-burning double-sided fireplace and treetop-to-peak views. Thoughtful integration of modern creature comforts includes radiant heating and A/C throughout, and a solar radiant hot water system.
The owners of Fellows Ranch have successfully created a place where "fellows" can gather, create memories, and experience the true essence of mountain living. It's a place where lasting bonds are forged and legacies are made.
