Listing of the Day
Location: Glenwood Springs, Colorado
Price: $23 million
"Pristine, pristine, pristine," is how broker Billy Long of Ranch Marketing Associates described Inyanga Ranch’s 530 acres of land. Resting in a secluded box canyon, the ranch includes several historic cabins, in addition to a chic, modernist home designed with an earthen palette reflective of the surrounding landscape.
In keeping with the canyon’s essential tones, the home is tastefully constructed of vibrant wood, subdued metal and layered granite that frame over-sized windows opening up to both impressionistic vistas and the nearby, modern swimming pool. Lying in the center of the vast property, the home offers the perfect opportunity to both reflect on the natural beauty of the surrounding world and to hang up your boots after a long day of adventuring.
"The property is a huge playground," Mr. Long said. "You can’t find anything with this kind of geological amenities. You’re surrounded by forest, river, lush meadows."
