Nestled deep in the San Juan National Forest is a rare "In-Holding" known as "Born’s Lake".  This extremely private ranch was homesteaded in 1890s by Henry Born. Henry & his family worked the ranch until 1960 when the Borns passed ownership of the Ranch to a publishing family from back east, who have owned and enjoyed this pristine setting ever since.  Born’s Lake Ranch has always afforded its owners a level of privacy and seclusion outside the view of the public. Here, wonderful memories can be created and enjoyed without the intrusion of any spectators. It is rare to find a property with the natural beauty, tranquility and solace offered at Born’s Lake Ranch.

The ranch encompasses 155 acres totally surrounded by the San Juan National Forest. Born’s Lake features 17 surface acres of mirrored glass Rocky Mountain water, a 3-tiered waterfall & a dramatic canyon with the West Fork of the San Juan River flowing through it.

From the shore of Born’s Lake you can enjoy the reflections of the snow-capped peaks that surround you. From your row boat you'll look down through crystal clear mountain water to hundreds of hungry Brook and Rainbow Trout.

Hike to several waterfalls within the ranch as well as numerous creeks and streams.  Or perhaps you enjoy scouting the ranch wildlife which includes Elk, Deer, Fox and even Mountain Goats and an occasional Big Horn Sheep.  You can also hike out to a National Forest trail that leads to Rainbow Hot Springs and across the Continental Divide.

Whether you are looking for a family compound to enjoy making memories, a hunting lodge or a corporate retreat, you will not find anything as private & spectacular as Born’s Lake Ranch.
