Property Description

John Wayne-Inspired Western Ranch Home with Sangre de
Cristo Mountain Views

Step into a piece of Western movie history with this
truly unique John Wayne-inspired ranch home in Colorado’s historic Wet
Mountain Valley
. Designed and built to commemorate the legendary actor and
the spirit of the American West, this remarkable 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home
was influenced by conversations between the home’s designer and John Wayne
during the 1970s
, incorporating elements said to reflect Wayne’s personal
tastes and the character of his iconic Western films.

Recreated in the style of an 1880s Victorian Western
ranch home
, the residence blends authentic Old West character with
modern-day comforts. Inside, impressive handcrafted woodwork and detailed
trim
set the stage for a home unlike any other. The dramatic main living
area features a grand mantled fireplace flanked by ceiling-high bookcases,
creating a stately centerpiece reminiscent of a classic Western movie set.

The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers multi-directional
access from the main-level rooms
, while the banquet-sized dining room
captures spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Period
antique furnishings, authentic electrified oil chandeliers and lamps, and an
impressive collection of John Wayne memorabilia are included with the sale,
further enhancing the home’s cinematic Western atmosphere.

Situated on 10.7 gently sloping, fertile acres, the
home is positioned to take full advantage of the sweeping panoramic mountain
scenery for which the Wet Mountain Valley is famous.
