Gooseberry Gulch Ranch encompasses 273± acres near Conifer, Colorado, along the scenic Highway 285 corridor, which serves as a gateway between the Front Range and Colorado's high country. At 45 minutes from downtown Denver and only minutes from the town centers of Conifer and Evergreen, the property blends mountain living with everyday convenience. Its combination of open meadows, timbered hillsides, year-round access and diverse land-use potential makes it equally well suited as a private retreat, investment property, events venue or development opportunity. The western, 106± acre portion of the property is protected by a Mountain Area Land Trust conservation easement, ensuring long-term stewardship while allowing for residential and agricultural use. This area includes three homes including a primary residence with sweeping southern views and two rental houses. On the north end of the ranch, a 5.3± acre unencumbered parcel with P-D zoning provides a commercial-use component which has been used for weddings, events and small-scale hospitality operations. Such operations can be serviced by the historically significant and restored Clifton School House featuring seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. The eastern, unencumbered 167± acre portion also features two additional homes: one with four bedrooms and three bathrooms and the other with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Further residential development opportunities exist here. This portion of the ranch offers potential flexibility for 10-acre residential lots or potential inclusion in Jefferson County's Rural Cluster Development Program. To support development, water rights will be sold to a new owner. These rights can be allocated by a developer to individual home lots and be used to create ponds as a shared amenity.
