If ever there was a land of subtle, magnetic charms, Beckwith Mtn. Ranch is that place. Wild game such as deer, antelope, and elk still roam freely over the land where eagles soar above. In this tranquil setting, you will feel a part of the land's rich history and community which only a few have had the opportunity to enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

Nestled in the Wet Mountain Valley of south central Colorado just 10 minutes north of Westcliffe/Silver Cliff, this area is named after Elton Beckwith who settled near here in 1869.  His home is a frequently photographed attraction along Colorado Highway 69 and has been undergoing an historical renovation since 2001.

Because of close proximity to the property, owners can enjoy whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River, fishing, skiing, and hiking on the Beckwith common area or in the nearby National Forest or Government BLM lands.
