personal service. Hall and Hall has, for many years, offered real estate marketing, farm and ranch management, mortgage loans and real estate appraisals. And now, in order to help accommodate clients wanting to quickly liquidate properties, Hall and Hall has added auctions to its offerings.

“We made a commitment to enter the auction world with the same level of impeccable service

our clients have come to know,” said Hall and Hall President Jim Taylor. “While researching auction firms and what they had to offer, we felt compelled to offer a service that was superior to those currently available.”

Hall and Hall brought on Scott Shuman, one of the industry’s most highly respected and successful auctioneers, to head up Hall and Hall Auctions. Shuman brings over 25 years of experience and a flawless reputation with him. He has been responsible for some of the most successful U.S. auctions in recent memory and holds auction/real estate licenses in 16 states. His recent involvement in larger ranch auctions has included the 22,000-acre Foreman Ranch, 24,000-acre Angela Farms, 39,000-acre Shamburger Ranch and 93,000+acre Ingalls Ranch.

“With the addition of Scott, Hall and Hall Auctions is poised to immediately become one of the nation’s most sought-after marketing firms of quality rural real estate,” said Mark Rogers the current president of the National Auctioneers Association. “The auction industry is very strong and auctions continue to be an effective tool for sellers to realize true price discovery”

Why Now? Historically, the most sought-after items have been traded through the auction method of marketing. When taking a look at different asset classes, it doesn’t take long to find stories

May of 2010 was an exciting month in the auction world as records were not only broken in automobiles, but also in the art world. A new world record for artwork sold at auction was established when the gavel fell for a 1932 Pablo Picasso entitled Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust. It had pre-auction estimates of up to $80 million, which many in the art world rejected. However, after a professional marketing program that contacted the right potential buyers that had interest and the wherewithal to make such a purchase, it sold for over $106 million dollars.

Livingthe Wyoming

Dream…

L

ying at the gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, Jackson Hole, Wyoming is a truly vibrant

community surrounded by some of the most dramatic scenery in the world. “Our rustic yet refined lifestyle is defined not only by the stunning natural environment we live in, but also by a strong sense of community. We strive diligently to maintain our unique Western character through thoughtful planning, careful land use and extensive charitable giving,” says Edie Lewis of Sotheby’s International Realty.

As a state, Wyoming has enjoyed a healthy fiscal environment. While other states are wrestling with how to close widening budget deficits, Wyoming lawmakers are determining

14

Volume 42 Farm&Ranch West

where to park the state’s budget surplus. Because Wyoming is a leading mineral producing state and its economy has ridden the economic tide with less turbulence than most, it now boasts a state budget surplus of more than $1 billion.

There are numerous reasons why those who live in Wyoming have chosen to have their primary residences here. Some of those reasons are emotional, such as the sheer beauty of the natural surroundings and the overall quality of life. Other reasons are more practical in scope and include Wyoming’s overall tax-climate benefits.

For years, Bloomberg has rated Wyoming as the most tax-friendly state in the United States.

In Teton County, Wyoming, 97 percent of Volume 42 Farm&Ranch West

the lands are permanently protected from development as national parks, forest and public lands, and much of Jackson Hole is protected in conservation programs through organizations such as the Jackson Hole Land Trust. These efforts ensure the stunning scenic corridors, open space and wildlife migration patterns will remain protected for generations to come.

Jackson Hole derives its magnetism not only from the area’s vast, beautiful lands and native wildlife, but also from its limitless outdoor recreation

opportunities.

Skiing,

hiking,

camping, fishing and more are just out our back door. The region comes complete with three world-class ski resorts, renowned golf courses, diverse trout fishing waters and large pockets of public lands for all your outdoor adventures.

Jackson Hole has daily jet service from major cities with Delta, Northwest, American and United. In fact, since the expansion of the runway in 2002, planes as big as Air Force II have been able to fly into this resort community.

If you have every fantasized about ‘riding off into the sunset’ the time to own a piece of the Wyoming lifestyle has never been more favorable.

No one can predict the future, but it seems almost certain that Wyoming will continue to retain the character that has attracted settlers since the early 1900s. Come visit us and let us introduce you to the Wyoming dream. v For more information on properties in Wyoming as well as Idaho, Montana and Colorado, contact Richard Lewis at Sotheby’s International Realty at 877 739-8021 or visit www.LiveJacksonHole.com.

sparkling clear “bluebird” day in Breckenridge, Colorado is the perfect time to visit an

acreage that inspires dreams. The 94.69-acre parcel on Southern Cross Trail lies atop a sunny hillside gazing directly at the Breckenridge Ski Area to the west and Baldy Mountain to the south. This premier spot is like no other offering in any ski town in North America.

The assemblage of land includes five separate parcels and backs to national forest, as well as the “Golden Horseshoe,” which is 8,642 acres of open space jointly owned by the Town of Breckenridge and Summit County Government.

Step outside your door for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or a snowmobile ride in winter, or ride your mountain bike in warmer months.

This one-of-a-kind opportunity is specially valued at $9,380,000.

Despite the regulations that strictly govern ski town development, this beautiful spot allows you to build a home of any size, a rarity with land such a scarce commodity. Additionally, you can build four other homes or guest homes and outbuildings of your choice, which may include a caretaker’s quarters or a barn. Horses are permitted, conjuring up a vision of an early morning ride in autumn with aspen shining gold on the hillside.

Perhaps you are looking for the ideal spot for a corporate retreat or a family enclave of homes.

You may instead just want the seclusion that comes with a large acreage, with the changing Colorado seasons all around you. In any case, few places in the world offer the proximity to such diverse activities, as well as the privacy and access to our outdoor playground.

Sawtooth Shadows Ranch New Mexico v Catron County v Datil

N

NEW LISTING! Rugged scenery combined with trophy elk and mule deer herds makes the 21,700-deeded-acre Sawtooth Shadows Ranch a New Mexico dream ranch for sportsmen with a special appreciation for Southwestern culture, history and landscape. Located in northeastern Catron County near the fabled mesa-top pueblo of Acoma, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s Double H Ranch, the territory around Sawtooth Shadows Ranch remains largely unchanged from when it was settled by the ancestors of the Acoma and Navajo tribes

millennia ago, and hardy ranchers a century ago. Fortunately for hunters, the ranch shares a 14-mile boundary with the national forest and its elk (many bulls in the 400-plus class) freely range into the pinon/juniper and ponderosa forests of Sawtooth Shadows Ranch, as well. The fact that approximately 30 landowner bull elk tags come with the ranch and that it lies in Hunt Unit 13, a primitive weapons area for elk, makes this ranch perfectly situated as a trophy elk ranch with a distinctive Southwestern flavor. This ranch has year-round access and lies 20 miles from Datil, New Mexico. $10,900,000.

The Yolo Ranch has a long-standing reputation as one of Arizona’s historic large ranches.

It has a wide range of vegetation from large towering ponderosa pines at the headquarters to saguaro and prickly pear cacti grasslands on the southwest end. About two-thirds of the ranch consists of level to rolling mesa country on several large mesas at an elevation between 4,000' and 5,500'. The highly improved headquarters are located in a picturesque subirrigated meadow surrounded by ponderosa

Ranch equipment is included in the purchase price. Cattle, horses and the historic Yolo brand are separately priced. This is one of the most premier Arizona ranches to come on the market in recent years. $12,767,000 cash. Call Andy Groseta 928 634-8110.

Ranch visitors often comment on the feeling of privacy, which is complemented by the convenience to amenities.

Nestled in the foothills of the Coastal Mountains, Atwood Ranch provides a perfect setting where broodmares and foals enjoy life on 2,500 acres of native grasslands in the oak-studded, rolling hills of Northern California. Captivating views of snowcapped Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen, the Sierras and the Sacramento Valley create the backdrop for this premier breeding and training facility.

The ranch specializes in extensive young horse development and educational programs, including the Parelli Pre-School Training program, but is equally suited for a first-class performance horse training operation or large-scale breeding establishment. Central to the success of the ranch programs are its impressive quality facilities; the large, freestanding 140' by 250' barn includes many amenities for the trainer and breeder with large office space, breeding shed with stocks and vet lab, tack and wash bays and foaling and stallion stalls. In addition, a 120' by 100' clear span riding arena, a 200' round training arena, 24-stall training barn, hay barn and three hot walkers accommodate most every facet of horse development necessary to this highly effective and successful breeding and training facility.

Top-quality fences are built with woven wire, using steel pipe for brace posts and gates. Water is pumped from a 2,500 gpm well and circulated to the barns and most fields by miles of buried pipeline. The largest fields have big reservoirs with year-round water. Some pasture is leased to cattle operations. For additional details and photos, visit VanCleveRanches.com.
