Our Story

Nestled between Somerset and Redstone, Bar ZX Ranch offers 640 acres of untouched wilderness and trophy trout fishing.Set between Somerset and Redstone at the base of the Raggeds Wilderness, Bar ZX Ranch is a 640‑acre mountain retreat where pristine wilderness, trophy stillwater fishing, and authentic Western charm come together. Surrounded by aspen groves, rolling meadows, and rugged alpine ridgelines, the ranch offers a rare mix of seclusion, comfort, and adventure in the heart of Colorado.

Originally developed as a private fishing sanctuary, Bar ZX Ranch has become one of the Rocky Mountain region’s premier stillwater trout destinations. Its 26 lakes and ponds have been carefully designed and managed for decades, creating ideal habitat for trout that regularly exceed 30 inches and 20 pounds. With more than 15 species and varieties across crystal‑clear ponds and deep coldwater lakes, every angler finds a unique challenge and reward.

The ranch is also a haven for wildlife and outdoor exploration. Elk, mule deer, black bear, turkey, and countless bird species roam the property, while miles of internal roads and trails invite hiking, photography, and quiet immersion in nature. Whether guests come for the fishing, the scenery, or the solitude, the ranch offers a sense of peace that’s increasingly rare.
