Hassle-Free Ranch Ownership

You are one of the fortunate few who have the opportunity to own your own recreationally rich, authentic alpine Colorado cattle ranch without the hassle and expense of traditional ownership. Our cattle operation seeks to preserve our western tradition of natural grazing, healthy ecology, and family participation in the ranching lifestyle.

You are invited to participate in this authentic cattle ranch, built and managed with traditional ranching practices to honor its heritage and protect its value. You and your guests can become true cowhands that help work cattle or otherwise run the Ranch. This sets Maytag Ranch apart from other mountain properties in Colorado.
