The Recreation Log Cabin: Built in the 1950's or earlier, near Rico. In 1997 it was dis-assembled into its original logs with every piece numbered, carried out of the deep woods on foot, and then rebuilt on-site. It now sits ÂÂA¼ mile from the Original Home, overlooking the trout ponds, and is nestled next to an aspen grove. A small stream babbles by in the early and middle summer month. The interior is "Ralph Lauren" style, and the Cabin is now accompanied by a decor-matching separate bathroom building, a large sandstone deck, a fire-pit and a little tot zip-line into the aspens. A great meeting place! The Main Barn: Hand-hewn construction, this barn was originally built in the 1800's then moved to this site in the early 1900's. It houses the horses and has served as the birthplace for many colts. Only 20 minute drive to Telluride.
