Cielo Vista Ranch San Luis, Costilla County, COLORADO

Photo: Philip Bull

C i e l o V i s ta R a n c h SAN LUIS, COSTILLA COUNTY, COLORADO

The 83,629±-acre Cielo Vista Ranch is one of the largest, most pristine private properties in North America. Descriptions of Cielo Vista need not be laden with embellishments and hyperbole. This is, quite simply, an opportunity to own one of the most distinctive properties in the West. Dramatic snow-capped vistas not only form the backdrop of Cielo Vista, the peaks are indeed a part of the ranch itself. The top of the Sangre de Cristo range, including the 14,053’ Culebra Peak (the highest privately-owned peak in the world) along with eighteen peaks over 13,000', besets the eastern boundary of the property for over 23 miles. Alpine terrain gives way to basins. Over 100 miles of creeks in multiple drainages provide habitat for several species of trout, including pure strains of the Rio Grande cutthroat. Resplendent with its beautiful forest canopy, miles of creeks, imposing peaks and ridgelines, meadows and aspen groves, it is impossible to fully convey the grandeur of this property.

Cielo Vista Ranch is aptly named, translated from the Spanish as “View of Heaven.” | $105,000,000

IN MONTANA,

AND THE SKY IS ALMOST ENDLESS...

...such were the perfect conditions for a very special gathering at the IX Ranch.

Over the course of two days, 20 of some of the most distinguished and affluent landowners and prospective buyers in the country from eight different states were invited by Open Fences magazine, Hall and Hall and Pilatus USA to experience a full-scale tour of the IX Ranch, complete with a demonstration of Pilatus’ most popular aircraft and the nearby amenities of Big Sandy.

As they have accomplished with their quarterly print publication, Open Fences magazine saw a unique opportunity to unite buyers and sellers of exceptional rural real estate and premier companies such as Pilates USA and Tempus Jets, 8 | O PEN F ENCES

who supply the premium tools that help them maximize their business. “It’s always wonderful when you can bring this many perfect elements together and Montana was an incredible setting for this wonderful venture,” said David Light, Founder and Publisher of Open Fences.

Since 1946, Hall and Hall has made it their business to cultivate relationships with landowners and buyers throughout the American West. This longestablished reputation is built on a foundation of trusted advice and has allowed Hall and Hall to showcase come of the region’s most spectacular listings. A 30-mile-wide Montana panorama, the IX Ranch is no exception.

With only two owners over the last 126 years, the IX Ranch is more than just a ranch; it’s the definition of a highly productive cattle production business.

The secret to its success: Stunning scale, comfortable climate, exceptional management and excellent outdoor recreation all in one location — the perfect ranch without compromise.

Divided into four units, the 126,000-acre ranch boasts around 4,300 head of cattle — about 3,500 bred cows and 600 heifer calves — state-of-the-art facilities and substantial improvements that ensure quality and comfort for both the crew and ownership. The tour included a first-hand look at these facilities, hay production and fields, shops and yards for equipment maintenance, the various headquarters and a presentation with the manager who demonstrated the pivotal cattle management computer systems.

both personalities. Not only is the business productive, but it has a wonderful personal side where the owners can enjoy a quick ride into Big Sandy for city amenities and also entertain guests with wildlife spotting, cattle brandings and other gatherings. Big scale or intimate, the IX can handle anything.”

One of the reasons the IX Ranch was chosen as the perfect venue for the event was its access to the adjoining public airstrip, which is shorter than most standard runways.

“For many ranch owners, plane access is critical,” said Tom Aniello, Vice President of Marketing for Pilatus USA. “It saves time and money when you can fly directly into your ranch instead of having to use the local airport. This is why the PC-12 is perfect for ranch owners. Have a short runway or perhaps rougher terrain? No problem.”

STUNNING SCALE,

“The philosophy at the IX Ranch is that ‘you can’t manage what you don’t measure,’” said David Johnson, Listing Broker with Hall and Hall.

“The ranch ownership is a corporation of 11 people who take ranching very seriously and utilize standardized performance analysis in cattle methodology. This has led to the creation of a superior online system of ranch logs and online pasture management tools that have kept the IX as one of most highly productive ranches in Montana.”

Pilatus USA provided two jets that flew guests from Denver, Colorado up to Montana and AND demonstrated the maneuverability and multiple capabilities of the PC-12, the company’s most popular and fastest growing aircraft in the business sector. A third PC-12 was provided by Jack Gulbin, CEO of Tempus Jets, who joined the group in Montana. Twenty years ago, the PC12 was first utilized as a utility and cargo aircraft and, since then, has become a favorite of the business elite due to its extreme versatility.

COMFORTABLE CLIMATE,

MANAGEMENT EXCELLENT OUTDOOR

The IX Ranch is a “reputation ranch in reputation ranch country” that boasts more than just outstanding cattle management. Covering 30 miles, the ranch includes all the highlights that make Montana one of more scenic vistas in the country. Verdant valleys, plentiful water sources and stunning mountainscapes combine to create an extremely diverse habitat that has allowed the native wildlife, such as elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, mountain lion and several kinds of upland bird species, to thrive. In addition, the recreationfriendly acreage is perfect for horseback riding and hiking.

Not only is it one of the largest, single-engine aircraft available, but it also features a very large cargo door; the ability to land on unpaved surfaces, such as grass, dirt and gravel; low acquisition and operation costs; great fuel efficiency; and landings and takeoffs require a shorter runway. This is key for property owners who

“A buyer isn’t going to find a ranch with this kind of scale and profitability and recreation. Look anywhere else and you’ll have to compromise,” said Johnson. “At the IX Ranch, this is a true legacy ranch with the best of

excellent exposure and a great opportunity to market one of our most popular models to such a diverse group of professionals.”

“These unique attributes make it a kind of Range Rover of the sky,” said Aniello.

“For a plane first introduced only 20 years ago, its popularity has grown quickly.

On average, a particular model might get 20 to 30 orders per year; for the PC-12, we fill about 80.”

The IX Ranch is offered for $64,500,000. For more information on this ranch, please contact Dave Johnson with Hall and Hall at 406.587.3090 or davej@ hallandhall.com. For more photos and a printable brochure, please visit HallandHall.com.
