NEARBY COMMUNITY Evergreen, Colorado was originally a ranching community and mountain tourist mecca on the banks of Bear Creek. During the 1920 s and 30 s famous big band leaders such as Tommy Dorsey and Lawrence Welk played in the ballroom of the nearby Troutdale-in-the-Pines resort. The resort was a favorite mountain retreat of Teddy Roosevelt and such Hollywood celebrities as Clark Gable, Jack Benny and Greta Garbo. The completion of nearby Interstate 70 and modern parkways have now made Evergreen a convenient commuter community for Denver. Downtown Evergreen has retained its rustic charm and western mountain ambiance.
WATER The headwaters of Bear Creek are on the property and meander through the ranch s meadows and canyons.

TAXES AG-forest zoning and a forest management plan with the Colorado State Forest Service insure minimal real estate tax of $788.40. Offered for $2,600,000.
