Close Details
ACTIVITIES AND AMENITIES

Maytag Ranch was originally created by Russ Maytag to offer a fortunate few families the opportunity to own your own recreationally rich, authentic working Colorado mountain ranch without the hassle and expense of traditional ownership. The cattle operation seeks to preserve western tradition of natural grazing, healthy ecology, and family participation in the ranching lifestyle. Owners may participate in this authentic working cattle ranch, built and managed with sustainable ranching practices to honor its heritage and protect its value. Owners and their 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.

Set in an environment of magnificent vistas, mountain-fed streams, horse and hiking trails, and vast mountain meadows, Maytag life beckons. The ranch has a shared border with the San Isabel National Forest, where millions of acres of possibilities abound.
