The property was remote when former TW Telecom president and CEO John Blount bought 132 acres near Castle Rock for $3.3 million in 2007. 

Since then, Castle Rock has expanded to surround it. 

Blount, who calls the property the B5 Ranch, listed it for $8.5 million in June, hoping a new owner would keep it as a ranch and consider it a legacy property. 

“They feel like it’s an oasis in the middle of a bustling community,” said listing agent Elaine Stucy with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.

The ranch went under contract in days and closed on Aug. 31 for $7.8 million, a record for Castle Rock.

The recently remodeled home features stonework and a petrified wood ceiling.

Josh O’Connell with Compass-Denver represented the buyers, listed in public records as 2BR LLC.  The buyers plan to live in the home as a family, stable their horses and graze a herd of cattle, Stucy said. 

The ranch includes a 10,425-square-foot mansion with six bedrooms and eight baths. The property also has a guest house, pool, hot tub, tennis court and skeet shooting range. 

The Blounts recently remodeled the home and feels like it belongs in Aspen or Vail, Stucy said.  

The 132-acre property includes more than 1,000 pine trees and an Aspen grove.
