Historic 35-Acre Ranch Headquarters with 16 Buildings in Leadville, CO - For Sale

Hayden Ranch, a historic 35-acre property located in Leadville, Colorado, presents a unique opportunity for revitalization. Originally founded as Elkhorn Ranch in 1860, the site played a crucial role in supporting the region's silver boom and later transitioned to cattle ranching. The property features a headquarters with sixteen buildings constructed between 1880 and 1930, many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. While historically significant for agriculture and cattle breeding, the land was later acquired for water rights and designated as open space. The current owner, Colorado Mountain College, is seeking a new steward with adequate resources to revive the homestead in a new context, preserving its historic integrity and community value. This offering is for the real estate itself, with a clear asking price and potential for diverse future uses, from historical preservation to new development, set against a rich natural and cultural backdrop.
