Property Description

Lincoln Ranch, a breathtaking 544-acre estate in the Snowmass Valley, offers a rare opportunity to own not one but two remarkable parcels: a 501-acre primary parcel and a 43-acre secondary parcel. With Snowmass Creek winding through the property and exclusive access to adjacent BLM and Forest Service land via the Johnny Draw section, this estate is the ultimate combination of natural beauty, privacy, and potential. The ranch is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with many trails and flat pastures framed by commanding views of Snowmass Mountain, Snowmass Creek, and the Snowmass Valley. Whether you enjoy hiking, horseback riding, or simply reveling in the pristine surroundings, this property is your personal wilderness playground. The 501-acre parcel currently features a 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom stone-and-timber mountain home, complete with an attached caretaker apartment and a two-car garage. Designed with timeless craftsmanship, this home offers rustic elegance and immediate comfort while you envision future possibilities. Pitkin Country has approved a 14,000-square-foot new home on 12/23/2025. The plans include a separate 1,000-square-foot caretaker residence, spacious barns, tennis court and a swimming pool ensuring the opportunity to create an architectural masterpiece in one of Colorado's most desirable settings. The secondary parcel is equally compelling, with development rights under current Pitkin County Building Code allowing for 5,750 square feet. Additionally, the owner has purchased a TDR (Transferable Development Right), increasing the allowable square footage to 8,250 square feet. Buyer will need to apply for relocation of the building site and approvals on the 43 Acre parcel. Local Land Planner Tom Newland has conducted an extensive review of the parcel and identified several ideal building sites. These locations offer improved access, privacy, and spectacular views, ensuring the new owner can design a bespoke residence perfectly suited to their lifestyle. The parcel also allows for the construction of a barn, adding further versatility for equestrian or recreational pursuits. Lincoln Ranch combines timeless natural beauty, recreational amenities, and immense potential. With excellent hunting, fishing, and hiking, alongside views that encompass Snowmass Mountain, Snowmass Creek, and the Snowmass Valley, this property is not just a home - it's a legacy.
