“The ranch was built as a labor of love and allowed the couple to scourer the world for artifacts and furnishings, for example an 18th century French estate fireplace. “Five years of intense land and stream restoration added trout friendly creeks, over a thousand birch and aspen trees and increased wildlife and bird habitat to allow the ranch to become one with the land,” explains Paul Benson, Engel & Völkers’ listing agent.   It is not a corporate retreat kind of ranch rather it is a family type retreat.  “For those who are seeking privacy in an outdoor paradise, this is it,” Benson added.

The 6,000-square-foot residence includes a gym, an office, and an open kitchen with marble counters, custom cabinets, and a La Cornue oven. Design details include Italian-plaster walls, an imported French fireplace, and hickory floors that have been hand-tooled.  The flexibility of adding multi structures is an option giving this ranch the desired cachet to add to the magnificence.
