About This Property

One-of-a-Kind John Wayne-Inspired Colorado Ranch Home! Designed and built to commemorate legendary Western movie icon John Wayne, this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home captures the character and spirit of the American West. Conversations between the home's designer and John Wayne during the 1970s helped inspire this masterpiece, incorporating elements reflective of Wayne's personal tastes and his memorable Western films.

Recreated in the style of an 1880s Victorian Western ranch home, the residence features exceptional handcrafted woodwork, period details and a dramatic grand mantled fireplace with ceiling-high bookcases. A banquet-sized dining room showcases breathtaking Sangre de Cristo Mountain views, while the distinctive main-level floor plan offers easy multi-directional access throughout the living spaces. Period antique furnishings, electrified oil chandeliers and lamps, and John Wayne memorabilia are included with the sale.

Set on 10.7 gently sloping acres in Colorado's historic Wet Mountain Valley, this property is also horse-ready, offering approximately 7 fenced acres of pasture and a 3-stall run-in barn with equipment room.

Combining Colorado horse property, mountain living, Western heritage and cinematic history, this remarkable ranch offers something nearly impossible to duplicate. Own a property that celebrates John Wayne and the enduring spirit of the American West—all against the magnificent backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
