“This residence features many fine attributes and unparalleled beauty,” said LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, Evergreen managing broker, Bob McCarroll. “The history of the property is diverse- ranging from being a personal residence / retreat from Denver for its millionaire builder, to a family home overseeing an extensive poultry operation, to part of a dude ranch / fly-fishing destination.”
