INFORMATION
Main Cabin
Lying in Garfield County, Colorado, The Stout Ranch is private lands with easy access to pristine government lands only through the ranch. Located in the Elk Mountains
Once the hunting grounds of the Ute Indians, the site was homesteaded in 1903 by the Dwire brothers. It's rich, fertile soil was used to grow vegetables to supply local towns. These lands that make up the Stout Ranch are a rare inverted River Plate at 8,000 ft. elevation.
The location of the Ranch is magnificent..... 1,300 acres with pristine meadows, aspen groves, and mountain views. Unlike so many mountain ranches, the mountains are close but do not "hem in" the land. You are able to look out, not just up. And if the Ranch land is not enough, to the west lies BLM land, Colorado Parks and Wildlife acreage to the north and east. All in all approximately 10,000 acres of public playground, but only easily accessible through the Stout Ranch.

Colorado Elk
It is the intention of The Stout Ranch to not only restore the land to its homesteading glory, but to keep it as a private destination retreat for future generations. To this end the Ranch's accommodations include a substantial Ranch House, shop, horse barn, and apartments. The ranch amenities encourage family and guests alike to enjoy the serenity of Baldy Creek and the surrounding area.
From the ranch one can enjoy the fantastic views of Baldy Creek, the Flattops, Hogbacks, and the Grand Mesa.

Fall Colors at the Ranch
The ranch is a place for all interests: the outdoor enthusiast, the relaxer, a romantic getaway, an adventure. But the Ranch is not totally isolated. New Castle (7 miles) offers easy access to grocery stores and restaurants. For larger "in-town" adventures Glenwood Springs is 16 minutes away via I-70 (home of the famous Hot Springs Pool, Sunlight Mountain, and many excellent restaurants) and of course world renown Aspen can easily be reached within an hour ( a little longer depending on weather). Hospitals and public services are all within easy commute. Several airports are within the surrounding area (Aspen, Eagle, and Grand Junction) as well as a private helicopter service in Rifle which can land directly on the Ranch. The Ranch can also accommodate it's own landing strip if demand dictates.
