Beaver Meadows Ranch is located just 6± miles north of Pine Junction and 46± miles from downtown Denver, Colorado. This pristine and private 713± property is nestled between national forest land, a state park, and other private property, making it a quiet and undisturbed mountain paradise. One of the benefits of this location is its proximity to Denver, Boulder, and other cities on the Front Range.
The property rests on a piece of land bordered to the north and west by Pike National Forest.
North Elk Creek babbles through the northeastern corner of the property, making its way to Elk Creek farther south. Private parcels hug the eastern and southern borders, and the southeastern tip of the property connects to Staunton State Park, where a deeded easement provides vehicular access to and through the park.
Wide-open meadows are interspersed with thick forests, rolling hills, and craggy outcrops. The property features owner-maintained roads from Hwy 285 all the way to the property’s single-family dwelling.
One reason Beaver Meadows Ranch is so remarkable is its pristine privacy without sacrificing proximity to the Front Range. Life on Beaver Meadows Ranch means enjoying the wide-open spaces Colorado is known for, as well as the chance to experience Denver’s many diversions.
