The Girl Scouts’ Magic Sky Ranch, a 733-acre property 40 miles west of Fort Collins, has been listed for sale for $12.7 million. Surrounded by the Roosevelt National Forest, the ranch includes year-round and seasonal accommodations for approximately 144 to 400 people, with heavily forested terrain, open meadows and numerous rock outcroppings. “There are nearly 60,000 square feet of building improvements, most of which were built in 2007, featuring a functional, modern design while incorporating elements of the farming and ranching roots of its Northern Colorado history,” said listing broker Terry Matthews, senior vice president at DTZ. The Girls Scouts of Colorado has owned the ranch since 1968 and will not be using it after the sale. Amenities include a dining hall and full commercial kitchen with a 260-person capacity; offices, a nurse’s clinic and apartment; an activity center with a climbing wall, classrooms and stage; a 26-stall equestrian center with a classroom, tack room, hay storage and two isolation stalls; ropes courses; a 28-lane field archery course approved by the Field Archery Association; six year-round residential buildings, each with a 24-person occupancy, with a kitchen, restroom and group meeting area; four seasonal cabins that can accommodate 14 people each; a lodge, an original residence that accommodates 40 people; and water rights. Most buildings are ADA accessible and have fire sprinklers. DTZ’s Russell Baker and John Baker are marketing the property with Matthews.
