Colorado's Only Relais & Chateaux Guest Ranch Announces Sale


STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo., April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Home Ranch, a widely recognized guest ranch in the American West, has announced plans to seek a new owner. The 550-acre property, listed for sale by Christy Belton of Ranch & Resort Realty, is located near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, a ski town known for its unique blend of Olympic athletes and working cowboys.   

The Home Ranch was built by Steve and Ann Stranahan in 1980.  Stranahan, whose father founded the Champion Spark Plug Company over 100 years ago, was drawn to the agricultural traditions and scenery of northwest Colorado.

After a decade of sharing their unspoiled alpine ranch with guests from all over the world, the Stranahans set out to demonstrate how agriculture, recreation and careful development can work together. They pioneered conservation efforts in Colorado and practiced sustainable ranching while responsibly operating the guest ranch, never deviating from their commitment to live lightly on the land. 

The Home Ranch is bounded on the north by the Elk River, a free-flowing trout-filled river that drains 450 square miles of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. It also shares a long boundary with a rugged two-million-acre expanse of public land that extends across the Continental Divide.

Famous for its elegant style in a scenic mountain setting, The Home Ranch was designed as a classic dude ranch. With a string of 85 horses, emphasis on horsemanship comes naturally. Hiking, fly fishing, and cross-country skiing are standard on the daily adventure list.  The unique style and award-winning cuisine at The Home Ranch earned it a listing as a Relais & Chateaux property in 1986; it remains the only guest ranch in Colorado with this distinction.  Relais & Chateaux is an exclusive collection of independent hotels and restaurants around the world whose members promote the richness and diversity of cuisine and tradition of hospitality.

The Home Ranch blazed a trail for the authentic guest ranch experience and is one of the most celebrated properties in the industry. Its long-standing reputation is backed by ultra-scenic acreage, a mountain lodge with 6 guest rooms, eight cabins tucked in the aspens and exclusive public land recreation permits. With seasoned staff and a turn-key operation in place, the next generation of ownership is well-positioned to continue the legacy at The Home Ranch.
