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 sustainable 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.

Our hospitality oriented staff members are committed to helping you maximize your enjoyment as an owner at Maytag. Whether you are looking for dinner reservations, a stocked fridge prior to your arrival, arrangements for guided fishing or whitewater rafting on the Arkansas, or even an overnight horseback trip to one of the pristine lakes high in the National Forest, the Maytag staff can make your time on property the experiences that form lifelong memories.
