Running Bear Ranch is located 20 miles northwest of Canon City along North Tallahassee Creek in Bar J Ranch. This exceptional property adjoins BLM lands along its southern boundary and offers a blend of luxury and self-sufficiency. The custom residence totals for 3,127 sq. ft. and features 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. The exterior is finished with stucco and stone, a durable metal roof, high-end, expansive windows, and a walk-out basement. Inside, you will find a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets, main floor living, and a five-piece master suite with an adjoining walk-in closet. The home also includes wood-burning and gas fireplaces, a basement bar/kitchenette, and a media room. For those focused on preparedness and sustainability, the property is equipped with below-ground water cistern tanks, a water catchment system, and, while connected to the grid, there is a sizeable solar system with battery storage, and a backup generator. There is also a greenhouse with irrigation and air circulation, along with a bulk pantry/kitchen dedicated to food preparation and storage. Additional improvements include a 40' x 60' metal shop featuring a one-bedroom, one bathroom apartment with a loft and laundry, as well as a 30' x 50' equipment garage. The property also includes a garden shed and a trap/skeet shooting hut. Topography ranges from pine and aspen forests to sub-irrigated meadows with mountain and valley views. North Tallahassee Creek flows the length of the ranch, which includes (3) trout ponds and associated ditch water rights. Wildlife abounds and includes elk, mule deer, black bear and turkey. The ranch is partially perimeter and cross-fenced and currently benefits from low taxes due to its agricultural status from an in-place grazing lease. Year-round access is provided via a county road.
