But what\u2019s to stop us from trying to figure it out.\u00a0 Buying a ranch is the stuff of childhood cowboy fantasy \u2014 riding horseback past herds of bison or standing knee-deep in a rushing stream filled with trout. And while foreign investors and tech billionaires drive the New York market, in places like Colorado and Montana, it is cattle shortages and the price of grain that hold sway.”\u00a0 She gathered her information for the article from several top ranch and land real estate brokers from around the country.\u00a0 James Taylor of Hall and Hall based in Billings, Montana defines the different options that are available for sale in the realm of ranches \u2013 \u201cfarmland, where crops are plowed to yield a harvest; working ranches with large cattle herds that convert grass into beef; and recreational ranches, also called executive ranches or retreats.\u201d\u00a0 Satow explains how “prices for recreational ranches soared during the last real estate cycle, but plummeted when the recession hit” hence the fact that there are many recreational properties available at steep discounts.\u00a0 Carole King\u2019s ranch, the Robinson Bar Ranch in Idaho, near Sun Valley, once on the market for $19 million is now available for $9.9 million.\u00a0 \u201cIf you want to spend a bit more, $24.25 million can buy you Elk River Ranch, an 800-acre property in Colorado that overlooks the Rocky Mountains and is close to big-game hunting, fly-fishing and skiing at Steamboat Resort a few miles down the road.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Mike Swan, who specializes in the sale of farm land, cattle ranches as well as executive and luxury ranches throughout the Rocky Mountains, explains how money is being invested in land instead of the stock market.\u00a0 Purchasing land is a great opportunity to diversify investments.<\/p>\n
