110± Acres BRAMARÉ RANCH
INTRODUCTION
Bramaré Ranch—from the word meaning “to yearn for”—truly lives up to its name. This extraordinary 110± acre estate is a rare blend of refined craftsmanship, thoughtful functionality, and natural beauty, with sweeping meadows and stands of timber set against panoramic views of Fishers Peak, the Spanish Peaks, and Greenhorn Mountain.
At the heart of the ranch is an 8,304± square-foot custom Santa Fe-style residence offering five spacious bedrooms and six bathrooms. Meticulously designed, the home balances luxury with warmth—every room features generous closet space and direct access to patios or decks. The primary suite includes a steam shower, private balcony, gas fireplace, and a generous 11’ x 15’ walk-in closet.
Handcrafted finishes include antler hardware, custom tile countertops by Summit Brick in Pueblo, copper-topped vigas, and custom doors built in Santa Fe. Light floods the home’s interior through three stories of floor-to-ceiling windows in the great room, while six fireplaces, a full indoor/outdoor sound system, and a wood/gas boiler system enhance comfort year-round. The walk-out basement adds a full wet bar, entertainment area, and hot tub access beside a wood-burning fireplace.
The ranch infrastructure is exceptional. In addition to the heated 3-car attached garage and a 2-car detached garage with a workshop, a 2,400± square-foot barn has 3-bays and provides tack and hay storage. Pipe corrals, irrigated pastures with gated pipe, and a matching 3-bay, stucco-finished loafing shed support equestrian or livestock operations. Water is abundant with adjudicated ditch rights, a 455’ well, and a purification system.
Bramaré Ranch offers flexibility for private living, event hosting, or short-term rental use in a serene, highly functional setting with no HOA, natural gas service, RV hookups, a Generac backup generator, and a gated entrance.

AREA HISTORY
Rye, Colorado, nestled in the Greenhorn Valley south of Pueblo, began its story in the mid-1800s. Originally part of “Brown’s Camp,” a trading post established by ex-trapper John Brown in 1841—strategically placed along Taos Mountain Trail’s crossing of Greenhorn Creek—the site served fur trappers, travelers, and early Hispanic farmers. After Brown left for California in 1849, the community lingered through stagecoach routes and intermittent settlement.
In 1866, Alexander Hicklin set up the first post office, renaming the hamlet Greenhorn—honoring Comanche chief Cuerno Verde (Spanish for “Green Horn”). Local ranching families, including the Bents and Sears, arrived in the 1870s, fueling growth. George Sears’s “30-Mile House,” post office, mercantile store, and social hall anchored settlement life.
The late 1870s saw the extension of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway and the discovery of silver, prompting permanent communities. By 1881, a post office named “Rye”—likely from native wild rye or the whiskey—had been established. The town of Rye was formally incorporated on November 22, 1937. Farming, dairy, and logging supported the community into the 20th century.
