Almost Heaven - West Elk Creek Ranches! Billionaires are building their off-grid estates-why not you? With a Budweiser budget, you can claim your own 35-acre slice of paradise in the stunning West Elk Ranches. Tucked away 35 minutes north of New Castle, this property takes a bit of effort to reach-but that's exactly what makes it special. Once you arrive, you'll understand: this is where solitude, beauty, and freedom come together. The road is maintained and accessible by vehicle in the warmer months, but when the snow comes, it's snowmobile access only-adding to the sense of adventure and exclusivity. Build your dream cabin or minimalist retreat, then rent it on Airbnb when you're not using it-let your getaway help pay for itself. Your off-grid adventure starts here.
