{yoogallery src=[images/stories/september15cow]}
Old Cow Town Ranch, a 129-hectare property that includes an 1880s reproduction town, has been listed for auction on September 22 with a pre-disclosed US$2.7 million minimum reserve. The ranch, which had an asking price of US$10 million, is bordered on three sides by the Rio Grande National Forest.
With 15 buildings that include a saloon, dining hall chapel and a lodge that sleeps 24, the project was a retirement project by its vendor. Some things are authentic, including three cabins built circa 1880 and an old barn that are all historic remnants of the old Hoaglund stage coach line.
The auction will take place on Thursday, September 22 at Old Cow Town Ranch, located at 36710 County Road 36 CC in Saguache, Colorado. It is listed through the JP King company in conjunction with Fuller Western Real Estate. The town comes with the Mad Cow Saloon, The Smokehouse commercial kitchen and The Mill House general store.
The ranch is being marketed as in an excellent big-game hunting area known as Unit 68, a four-point-plus area that offers some of the finest trophy bull elk, deer and antelope hunting in the world.
