>> ANNOUNCER: At 83,368 acres, the Cielo Vista Ranch is one of the richest, most pristine
properties in North America. Dramatic snow-capped vistas not only form the backdrop of Cielo
Vista, the peaks are indeed a part of the ranch itself.
The ranch includes 23 miles of ridgeline of the Sangre de Cristo range, which defines
the eastern boundary of the property. Within, stands the Culebra Peak, the only private
14,000 foot peak in the continental US and an additional eighteen 13,000 foot peaks form
your own alpine sanctuary. The terrain gives way to large stands of pine,
spruce, fir, and aspens, and is home to trophy elk, mule deer, and bighorn sheep, which roam
the property’s high country peaks and glacial basins.
[music] >> ANNOUNCER: In September, it’s not unusual
to see trophy quality bulls roaming the open hillside, as the sounds of autumn echo from
the timber. Several 380 inch plus bulls have been harvested
on the property and true 400 inch chide in 2011.
[music] >> ANNOUNCER: Along with a thriving elk herd,
a huntable population of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep populate the alpine ridges and glacial
basins of Cielo Vista’s high country. [music]
>> ANNOUNCER: Over 100 miles of pristine streams fed from snowpack from your private mountain
range wind their way through the ranch. Providing habitat for a variety of trout and wildlife,
these streams host several species of trout, including wild browns, cutbows, brookies and
the rare Rio Grande Cutthroat. Cielo Vista also contains numerous scenic
glacier-carved alpine lakes, including the prominent Carneros Lake, which rests just
below the summit of the 14,000 foot Culebra Peak. The Cielo Vista Ranch is simply a vast,
unspoiled wilderness. Home to a variety of native mammals, raptors, and songbirds, many
of which live out their entire lives on the property.
[music] >> ANNOUNCER: This is quite simply an opportunity
to own one of the most distinctive alpine-centered properties in the West. Resplendent with its
beautiful forest canopy, it is impossible to fully convey the grandeur of this property.
Cielo Vista Ranch is aptly named, translated from the Spanish as “View of Heaven.”
