n the spring of 1870, six years before Colorado earned its statehood, Joseph Rogers and his brother, products of Maine & Southeastern Canada, drove 300 head of cattle to the South Park range four miles West of the town of Howbart set up camp and founded their ranch which grew to over 12,000 acres. Today, at the foot of hulking Thirtyninemile Mountain, which is the southern sentinel to the entirety of South Park, rests the ranch born from the early effort of those western pioneers. Approximately two hours from Colorado’s two most populous cities and their international airports, and one hour from many world class ski resorts rests the Rogers Mountain Ranch.
The crown jewel of Rogers Mountain Ranch is its approximate 10,000 square foot fully custom, off-grid rock and timber lodge. Actress Goldie Hawn and actor Kurt Russell constructed the lodge in the late 90’s. Under current ownership since 2010 it has been meticulously and routinely maintained by onsite ranch management. In addition to properly caring for the lodge, the current owners have implemented robust improvements to its wind tower and solar array, power storage systems, internal electrical systems and recently replaced the generator that supplies backup power. The lodge has also seen a host of interior renovations. The lodge itself has been valued significantly below its replacement cost in this offering.
There are a total of eleven ponds on RMR. Pruden, Union and the Balm of Gilead Creeks drain the ranch and fill its ponds. Anglers and non-anglers alike will delight by the trout stocked in six of the ponds on the ranch. The fishing on the ranch is remarkable as is the big game hunting. Rogers Mountain Ranch is truly a luxury retreat featuring world class angling and hunting.
