Description
A rare opportunity to own a unique Colorado sanctuary. Once the creative hideaway of acclaimed comedy writer Tom Patchett - creator of ALF and writer for The Bob Newhart Show and The Carol Burnett Show, this tasteful ranch comprises two parcels totaling 107 private acres in the coveted Top of the World subdivision on Specie Mesa. A large, spring-fed fishing pond, expansive alpine meadows and sweeping mountain vistas provide a perfect setting for retreat and recreation.

Supplements: The land abounds with wildlife and is proximate to expansive U.S. Forest Service property, large multi-generational ranches and conserved Friends of Specie Mesa land. Whether you're a winter or summer sports enthusiast, an equestrian or you simply seek a peaceful haven to recharge and create, this ranch offers a one-of-a-kind Colorado escape.
