Roslyn Ranch

Resting just below the Continental Divide adjoining the Routt National Forest, the +/- 1,230 acre Roslyn Ranch offers the ideal Colorado scenic recreational and operating ranch. With the private 35-acre Lake Ruby, miles of creeks, tree-lined irrigated meadows, valuable water rights, and views of the surrounding mountains, the property includes a main residence, cabins, and a boathouse situated along the banks of the lake. The ranch property also produces exceptional high-quality hay, while providing still water fly-fishing, and world-class big game hunting for elk, deer, and moose. Located in Jackson County, just 65 miles east of Steamboat, 55 miles north of Winter Park, 20 miles south of Walden and within 2.5 hours of Denver.

Nestled at the base of Parkview Mountain and adjoining the Routt National Forest, Roslyn Ranch offers a serene and private retreat in north central Colorado. This picturesque property features a scenic blend of timberland, creeks, rolling hills, and lush meadows, all framed by sweeping views of the Continental Divide and surrounding mountains from its vantage point on the southern edge of North Park.

Water is a centerpiece of the ranch. Lake Ruby, a private 35-acre lake with depths exceeding 35 feet, boasts a rich history of large trout and has a boat house at its banks. Additionally, Badgero Creek, the East Fork of Big Willow Creek, and Howd Creek flow south to north across the property, providing 65 cfs of water producing 600 tons of the finest hay in Colorado.

Roslyn Ranch produces an average of 600 tons of high-quality hay annually, with a balanced ratio of 60% hay and pasture to grazing land, a unique feature in North Park. Currently, the ranch is leased to a local rancher who has served as an exceptional steward.

The current owners have also dedicated significant resources to preserving the ranchs forested areas, particularly to combat the pine beetle impact on lodgepole pines. Thousands of trees have been selectively removed to promote forest regrowth, and Roslyn Ranch boasts many aspen stands lining its meadows.
