Concierge Auctions to sell 252-acre equestrian oasis in New Castle, Colorado

NEW CASTLE, Colo., July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Concierge Auctions, a luxury real estate auction firm serving high net-worth individuals worldwide, today announced the auction of the Rising Hearts Ranch in New Castle, Colorado, to take place August 14 in cooperation with Billy Long of Ranch Marketing Associates. The property will be sold in two separate 118-acre and 134-acre parcels, or collectively. Originally offered for $6.9M, Rising Hearts Ranch will sell to the highest bidder above a reserve of $2.5M. 

The largest horse and breeding facility in western Colorado, the 252-acre Rising Hearts Ranch is nothing short of a dream for equestrian lovers of all kinds. The winner of the auction for Rising Hearts Ranch will have unlimited access to some of the finest equestrian facilities in the west, including a covered and lighted show arena with a 250-person capacity to host dressage and show jumping showcases. Fit for the grandest of stallions or the rarest of mares, the property also includes state-of-the-art veterinary facilities, show and breeding barns, 16 paddocks, and hay production and storage resources.

Of course, a horse-lover's paradise would not be complete without a beautiful landscape to offer riders breathtaking scenery for every trail ride. Located in the Flat Tops Wilderness area along the Colorado River corridor, Rising Hearts Ranch benefits from ideal western Colorado weather. With a low elevation and mild weather patterns, the property enjoys 300+ sunny days annually.

While the sunshine naturally makes for enviable living conditions, it is also highly favorable for the ranch's lush vegetation. The Flat Tops is renowned for its long growing season, and Rising Hearts Ranch is equipped with irrigation throughout its 252 acres to ensure that the land's harvests are as bountiful as the sunshine. Not only will the new owner of Rising Hearts Ranch have full use of its fertile land, but they will also be the beneficiary of full mineral and senior water rights.

"Rising Hearts Ranch is one of the premier performance horse and breeding facilities in the state of Colorado. On top of its horse facilities, to have 250-plus acres of irrigated, grade-A soil and excellent water, mineral and development rights are a bonus." said Long. "And that's not to mention the top-of-the-line quality of the structures on the property – over $10 million has been invested in the ranch's residences and stables – there's really nothing like it."

At the end of a long day on the trails, residents can retreat to their own accommodations. Featuring five bedrooms, three full, and three half baths, the 6,814-square-foot ranch home is the ideal place to stretch sore legs and relax. Privacy in the main residence is guaranteed, as guests can be hosted separately in a beautifully restored 2,000-square-foot log home. Additionally, there are manager and employee residences on the property to house ranch hands.

Should visitors somehow tire of the endless joys of horseback riding, Rising Hearts Ranch is a mere one-hour drive from some of the world's most renowned ski resorts, including Aspen, Vail and Beaver Creek.

"Our firm has proven our skill time and again of activating high-end equestrian buyers — across the U.S. from North Carolina to Wyoming, and even recently in Calgary, Canada," said Laura Brady, Founder and President of Concierge Auctions, "We handpicked Rising Hearts Ranch because of the incredible facilities and amenities it offers — horseback riding, farming, hiking, and skiing nearby. Our typical Rocky Mountain buyers are searching for an activity-rich lifestyle, and Rising Hearts certainly answers the question, 'what adventure shall we take today?'"

The auction of Rising Hearts Ranch, located at 295 County Road 262 in New Castle, Colorado, will be held live on August 14^th. A 2.5% commission is offered to the buyer's representing broker.
