Wildcat Ranch is one of the country’s most exclusive private communities, with just 15 owners sharing stewardship of a 7,000+ acre wildlife conservancy. Lot sizes range from 100 to over 500 acres, with all land outside the 15 designated building envelopes preserved for conservation. Over 30 miles of trails invite summer hiking and horseback riding, which transform into groomed cross-country ski trails in the winter. Onsite wranglers and horses are just a phone call away for a trail ride—or enjoy a serene pontoon cruise on the 50-acre Wildcat Lake, stocked with enormous trout. A thoughtfully planned community picnic site and fishing club quarters provide the perfect setting for private events.Lot 13 at Wildcat Ranch is just 10 minutes from the Base Village of the world-renowned Snowmass Ski Area. Annexed into Snowmass Village in 1994, the Ranch came with vested development rights allowing for a 15,000 sq ft primary residence with a 1,200 sq ft garage, a 2,500 sq ft guest house with a 500 sq ft garage, and a 1,000 sq ft caretaker’s home with an additional 500 sq ft garage. The code also allows for non-habitable accessory structures (such as barns, sheds, huts, terraces, or recreational buildings) of up to 3,000 sq ft— or up to 6,000 sq ft for a barn, if desired. Owners may also build a single 350 sq ft backcountry retreat hut.The generous entitlements make this a rare opportunity to create a true family legacy compound—something that cannot be duplicated elsewhere in Pitkin County. The south-facing homesite offers awe-inspiring views that stretch across the entire Snowmass Ski Area to the Maroon Bells–Snowmass Wilderness in the White River National Forest. From Capitol Peak and Mount Daly to Mount Sopris in the Elk Mountains, the panorama is nothing short of breathtaking.
