Set in the heart of Old Snowmass, the historic Cookman Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a legacy property defined by land, water and authentic Colorado character. Encompassing 6.03 acres across three legal parcels, the property features a remarkable 2.2-acre private trout pond, frontage along Capitol Creek, open pasture, mature trees and beautiful mountain views.
At the heart of the property is the original circa-1900 log cabin, offering approximately 2,275 square feet and thoughtfully preserved to retain its authentic ranch character. A charming 705-square-foot, one-bedroom bunkhouse provides additional accommodations for guests or a caretaker, while a detached two-car garage and storage shed complement the existing improvements.
The setting invites a lifestyle increasingly difficult to find in the Roaring Fork Valley--fish from the private trout pond or along Capitol Creek, paddleboard, gather around the campsite, watch wildlife and enjoy the privacy and open space of this special Old Snowmass property.
On the pond side of the property, approvals are already in place for a 1,000-square-foot Caretaker Dwelling Unit (CDU) and 500-square-foot garage, providing additional flexibility for future use.
With its combination of historic ranch character, exceptional water features, three legal parcels and recreational opportunities, Cookman Ranch is an irreplaceable Old Snowmass offering, all within convenient reach of Aspen and Snowmass Village.
