A Modern Ranch Built for Real Life

Light, views, and room to gather. From morning coffee to late-night fires, the heart of the home opens to a pond-side deck and a sheltered courtyard. Life moves easily between inside and out. Spaces are scaled for company and quiet—an easy kitchen for long meals, a loft to read, and living areas that frame pasture and mountain horizons. The property is also home to Varekai Ranch Horse Rescue, supporting daily care, rehab, and turnout—just steps from the house. See the rescue’s mission at varekairanch.com.
