Introduction
Shadow Creek Ranch is one of the largest parcels of private land in Summit County, Colorado. Located along the scenic Gore and Williams Fork Ranges the Ranch’s twenty-two homesteads are the heartbeat of this private residential ranch community. Unparalleled privacy and unspoiled natural beauty are the hallmarks of this nearly 6,000-acre high country ranch set amidst the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains.
Besides the seclusion and privacy, the distinctive features of the Ranch include the panoramic views of the majestic Sleeping Indian mountain vista, trout-filled ponds, and the resident herds of elk and deer. These natural amenities, combined with the limited number of homesteads, extensive multi-use trails, comprehensive wildlife management plan, on-site ranch manager and staff, and security-controlled access at all entrances, make Shadow Creek Ranch a pristine refuge that echoes the wilderness spirit of Teddy Roosevelt.
Few have experienced a place like Shadow Creek Ranch. Our goal is to preserve the untouched mountain character. To achieve this, Shadow Creek Ranch established a conservation easement with Summit County in December of 2000. This prevents future changes or development to the land outside current plans and will guarantee its conservation for generations to come. Shadow Creek Ranch has carefully orchestrated development to optimize the ranch’s natural landscapes. We believe that proper integration of home-sites will create a place of lasting beauty. Owners have access to outstanding fly-fishing on 22 lakes and ponds and on the Gold Medal Waters of the Blue River, guided and unguided horseback riding, excellent hunting, cattle drives with the cowboys, over 15 miles of groomed trails for snowmobiles and cross country skiing, over 22 miles of atv trails, endless miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, first-class service and luxury accommodations in the main lodge or guest house.
