For 30 years, Maytag Mountain Ranch has been a working cattle ranch, committed to sustainable ranching practices while preserving the Western traditions of natural grazing, healthy ecology and family participation in the ranching endeavor. Now, Maytag Mountain Ranch is offering a limited number of families the opportunity to be a part of this unique lifestyle by creating a residential community that incorporates an authentic western experience with an environmentally responsible life.

Nestled on 3,000 acres at the foot of Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Maytag Mountain Ranch is a fully sustainable and ecological residential community and working cattle ranch. The Ranch offers expansive 100 acre homesteads and a vast array of outdoor recreational activities and ranch amenities all centered around a strong community partnership.

Developer Russ Maytag always knew that ranching was his life’s calling. Having been involved in his father’s three ranches outside of Colorado Springs all his life, Maytag finally purchased 2,000 acres of his own in 1978. Over time, he purchased a total of eight parcels in Hillside to create the 2,968 acres that comprise Maytag Mountain Ranch today. After 30 years of working the Ranch and raising his family there, Maytag decided it was time to do something different. He wanted to preserve the lifestyle and the sustainable vision of the Ranch, but he didn’t want to work it anymore. Instead, he decided to share his land with those who shared his passions for ranching, sustainable agriculture, wilderness and community.

Maytag has always been a firm believer in sustainable living, arguing that “you have to maintain your ranch as sustainable or you won’t be sustainable as a rancher.” At Maytag Mountain Ranch, the herd and all of the Ranch’s bounty is certified organic and owned by the Ranch Owners Association. The cow herd provides an income for the association as a whole, offsetting costs and providing food for the owners, but also creating a true sense of community. Owners can participate in the daily business of the Ranch, raising certified organic produce and livestock, or leave the ranching to the ranch managers. Either way, the entire community enjoys the gifts of the Ranch, from grass fed beef to seasonal produce to fresh milk straight from the dairy cow.
