Nestled in the mountains west of Denver, near Evergreen, Captains Rock Ranch is an exceptional property offering both seclusion and accessibility. Covering approximately 667 deeded acres, this expansive estate blends rugged natural beauty with refined living—an ideal sanctuary for those who cherish the outdoors, equestrian pursuits, and handsome architecture integrated amongst the landscape.
A Private Sanctuary with Unrivaled Natural Beauty
Towering rock formations, rolling meadows, and diverse tree cover define the landscape of Captains Rock Ranch. Year-round streams, a tranquil pond, and native grasses create a thriving ecosystem. Bordered by Arapahoe National Forest to the west and the Mount Evans Wilderness Area to the south, the property ensures protected views and endless outdoor recreation. A private road with key-coded access enhances exclusivity while keeping Denver within easy reach.
A Residence Built for Mountain Living
The ranch’s 11,878-square-foot log-style primary residence is a stunning example of Colorado mountain architecture. Built in 1996 and recently upgraded, the home features old-growth logs from Montana and locally quarried stone, blending rustic elegance with modern functionality. The grand entertaining room, with soaring ceilings and an impressive stone fireplace that serves as the focal point, creates an impressive setting for the most discerning of guests. Expansive patios, outdoor hardscape, and a significant outdoor fireplace maximize views while creating intimate gathering spaces.
Designed for comfort and entertaining, the home includes five bedrooms, five full baths, and three half baths, along with a finished lower level. A recently installed Class A fire-rated Da Vinci synthetic shingle roof enhances durability and fire resistance.
Premier Equestrian and Outdoor Facilities
The varied terrain is perfect for horseback riding, ATV adventures, hiking, hunting, and fishing.
“Captains Rock Ranch boasts an unparalleled equestrian experience, featuring a state-of-the-art indoor riding arena and an immaculate eight-stall barn—both among the finest in Colorado,” says Josh Behr, principal broker of Behr Team. “These amenities, paired with the surrounding trails and open land, create a world-class setting for riders, mountain bikers and hikers alike.”
A Legacy Property with Protected Beauty
The property is part of the Evans Ranch Preserve Association (ERPA), a conservation community dedicated to land preservation. While much of the ranch is safeguarded under a conservation easement held by Colorado Open Lands, outside of the accessory 80-acre parcel, a designated envelope enveloping the home and improvements remains unencumbered, allowing future owners the option to develop or conserve as desired.
“Designed to preserve the ranch’s breathtaking natural beauty and historic character, the conservation easement ensures that its legacy remains intact for generations to come. A designated 40-acre building envelope outside the home provides the owner with flexibility while maintaining the integrity of the surrounding landscape,” Behr says.
Adding to its historic charm, the property includes a meticulously restored 1900s schoolhouse, repurposed as a guest retreat or artist’s studio, blending historical significance with modern comfort.
“Captains Rock Ranch is one of only five properties within the storied Evans Ranch, making it an exceptionally rare offering,” Behr says. “With its abundance of amenities, unparalleled privacy, and close proximity to both Denver and world-class skiing while set amongst a stunning mountain landscape, this property represents an extraordinary investment in both lifestyle and legacy—one that is difficult to fully capture in words.”
