   himney Peak Ranch presents a rare opportunity to experience firsthand the spirit and tradition of cattle ranching in the Western Rocky Mountain.

       Seldom does a working ranch of this caliber become available for purchase, particularly in an area of such spectacular beauty. Nestled on the western slope of the Rockies, beneath the San Juan Mountains, Chimney Peak Ranch lies in the heart of a land renowned for its unparalleled mountain views, historic charm, and western style.

       Home to the largest concentration of 14,000 ft. peaks in North America and the rich mining history of Ouray and Telluride, the region also enjoys an exceptionally mild and sunny mountain climate and has become the resort destination of choice for skiers, tourists, and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.

       This unique combination of scenic beauty, climate, and culture has also attracted an elite group of land owners and neighbors.

       Together, alongside families who have owned and operated local ranches for generations, a new breed of ranchers are preserving the natural beauty and agricultural heritage of the region. This trend has resulted in one of the most distinguished and exclusive ranching communities in Colorado. Much sought after and rarely offered for sale, large privately held ranches in this region are a precious commodity. As is Chimney Peak Ranch.
