Russellville Ridge Ranch is quite different among Colorado ranches for sale. It grows from a vision of sustainability, and has been thoughtfully planned to provide owners with a unique Western life-style, whether as a permanent residence, a second home or as a place to retire.

Own one of the fifteen, 5 acre homesteads you will have an equal partnership in the 270 acre ranch with other owners. Share the Ranch''s Equestrian Center, 180 acres of Open Space, its 30 head grass-fed cattle herd, its income, and its community.

You can be as active as you wish in participating in the daily running of the ranch. Some owners are attracted to owning the ranch they''ve always dreamed of, but without having to do the work, or worry about its maintenance if they''re away. Others love the work, the riding, wrangling and the Ranch''s maintenance.
