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.
