Property Description
Nestled in CO's breathtaking Arkansas River Valley, MoonShadow Ranch is an ultra-private mountain retreat and outdoor enthusiast's dream. Spanning 76+ acres, with direct access to 10,000+ acres of BLM land, this extraordinary estate offers the perfect blend of rugged adventure & luxe living—free from HOAs or covenants. The property includes a beautifully crafted custom home; a four-stall, two-story, pull-through barn; and unmatched family-friendly amenities. Designed for effortless entertaining, the superbly landscaped rec zones feature a shooting/target range, log picnic pavilion, bocce & horseshoe pit, stone fire pit, two raised decks, and a custom-made children's playhouse. The home features ground-level entry from both the first and second floors; three spacious bedrooms plus a versatile bonus room/office; and a 900+ sq ft lofted master suite with vaulted ceiling, private deck, office nook, spa-like bathroom, and massive walk-in closet/dressing room. The main level, with two bedrooms and one full bath, boasts a showstopping great room with exposed-beam cathedral ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. An incredible chef's kitchen showcases a wraparound breakfast bar and custom cabinetry. The large deck expands your living space outdoors, perfect for taking in the incredible panoramic views. The walkout lower level is a complete entertainment zone with space for game tables, a TV/theater area, rustic wet bar, and bonus room. The property is equipped with a 4,700-gallon cistern system, radiant heat, whole-house fan, ductless AC (2019), a wood-burning fireplace, and two electric fireplaces for year-round comfort. The barn includes workshop, heated office & bath, gym & storage/hobby room. Ideally situated between Cañon City, Salida and Westcliffe, MoonShadow Ranch is a gateway to world-class rafting on the Arkansas River and some of the best fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and four-season outdoor experiences in the country.
