Affectionally known as “Captains Rock Ranch” for the massive and iconic rock outcroppings towering over the primary residence, this property offers 667± deeded acres and is ideally located within the prized and protected community of the Evans Ranch. Numerous trees, wildflowers, and native grasses found in Colorado flourish throughout the property. Captains Rock and Evans Ranch also feature year-round creeks and ponds. Evergreen, Colorado, is the closest town and is approximately a half-hour drive from the property. Denver International Airport, Centennial Airport, and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport are all an hour’s drive from the property, subject to weather and traffic conditions.
Captains Rock Ranch is located within the boundaries of the Evans Ranch while also being adjacent to the Arapahoe National Forest on the property’s westerly boundary. The majority of the southerly boundary is contiguous to the Mount Evans Wilderness Area. The deeded acreage of the property is an excellent balance of both protective and undulating topography, offering northern-facing heavily treed hillsides, open meadows, southern exposed smaller hillsides, and transitional lower elevation bottom land that envelopes both banks of the Pedee Creek. Pedee Creek flows year-round from west to east through the southern portion of Captains Rock Ranch. An adjudicated pond offers a beautiful, tranquil setting in close proximity to all of the buildings on the property. Captains Rock Ranch, as well as the Evans Ranch as a whole, have been expertly managed and meticulously cared for over the course of many decades,
