Views from this ranch are astounding because it is primarily secluded and surrounded by long-range mountain landscapes. Rich in history, this legacy property combining 6+ old homesteads still has preserved cabins and remnants from the late 1800S while bringing modern comforts and amenities to this first-class, turn-key working mountain ranch. It is our hope that the sprawling olive groves, fields of fragrant lavender, and towering trees will be around for a long time to come.Highland Springs Ranch is a beautiful property overlooking the Colorado River basin just outside the small mountain town of McCoy, Colorado. Even today, the Resort has not lost the charms that have made it a destination for over a hundred years.
Our oldest Resident is an 1100 year old Coastal Live Oak tree that has stood watch long before anyone set foot on the property.
This has led to numerous challenges for our Farm, but has allowed nature to maintain a certain balance. As part of this preservation effort, we attempt to peacefully coexist with all the wildlife on the property, and do not artificially control the population of rabbits, squirrels, deer or gophers. The Resort has an organic farm and a science camp for kids. One of the goals of the Resort is to preserve and maintain the history of the property as well as the natural habitat of the wildlife that resides here. Old Barns and Carriage Houses have kept their historic exterior, but were transformed into warm and modern conference rooms on the inside. Many Antiques have been used to decorate the interior and photos of the Property have been put up in the rooms. In 2009, this main lobby building and the majority of the guest rooms were renovated with the aim of preserving the historic character and charm of the Property. Rather than rebuilding it on the same site, a more modern building was constructed. The original Highland Home Hotel, a three story Victorian house built in 1884, burned to the ground in 1970. We frequently meet visitors who recall cherished memories of childhood summers spent exploring all the hidden treasures of Highland Springs Resort. Families would come year after year and enjoy music, entertainment, dancing, horseback riding, swimming, tennis and a variety of outdoor activities. In 1948, the Rosin Brothers bought the resort and developed it into a Catskills of the West for Jewish Families. The resort became known as 'The Last Resort" as many sick people who were not able to get well with traditional methods, were able to get healthy through Hirsh's health practices while staying at the resort. He also grew his own grapes and operated a small vineyard. The restaurant on the resort was vegetarian and Hirsch grew a lot of the produce served at the restaurant on the property. Fred Hirsch himself was made healthy through following the philosophy of Professor Arnold Ehret, who was an early proponent of juice fasting and colon cleansing. Responsibility for any use rests exclusively with the user.ĭescription In 1927, Fred and William Hirsch bought the old Smith place, renamed it Highland Springs Resort, and developed it into a health resort.
