Offering a fascinating glimpse into life in the early 19th century, this replica frontier town is currently up for grabs in Colorado. As if plucked from the set of a classic Spaghetti Western, this tiny town offers history and opportunity by the bucket load. So, whether you want to live off-grid, create a unique vacation destination or start your own business, this listing is sure to entice you. Click or scroll on to take a tour of this incredible Wild West town...

Located close to the town of Saguache, Colorado, the property sits on a staggering 320 acres of land and is bordered by Bureau of Land Management and National Forest land, allowing the lucky new owner to truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life. What's more, this part of Colorado is home to an abundance of wildlife, including deer, elk and antelope, as well as iconic hiking routes, making it ideal for lovers of the great outdoors.

Unlike some entire towns for sale, this one is a replica. Created in 2007, the community was inspired by the classic frontier towns that cropped up across western America in the 1800s, when the Gold Rush saw hundreds of thousands of people relocate in search of wealth beyond their wildest dreams.

These pop-up towns had everything the new arrivals could need – from bars and restaurants to inns and general stores, there was plenty to keep residents and visitors entertained, fed and watered. In keeping with this tradition, the replica town comes kitted out with a wild array of properties to meet all requirements. In this town, history meets opportunity...

For starters, the tiny town comes equipped with a beautiful family home. Known as Ponderosa Lodge, the property offers all the charm of a rustic retreat, but with plenty of modern conveniences thrown in. While we don't know the exact size of the house, we do know that in total the town comes with an astounding 28,715 square feet of interior space.

The luxury lodge comes equipped with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a huge open-plan living room, a light-filled kitchen, a dining room and numerous exterior balconies where stunning scenery can be soaked up. 

Built in 2007, the unique home might be rustic but it's kitted out with everything you could need. While the gourmet kitchen is light-filled and free-flowing, the lounge boasts an interior water feature. A glass floor sits atop the indoor stream and it greets you as you enter the room.

Of course, every room in this luxury log cabin benefits from characterful details. From vaulted ceilings to exposed logs, natural timber accents, rustic stone fireplaces, Amish hickory and slate floors, this is an authentic rural property with plenty of personality. The dining room also boasts a stunning structural element, carved from the trunk of a tree.

The master bedroom is one of the home's most eye-catching spaces, thanks to its towering beamed ceiling, huge architectural fireplace and stunning landscape scenery, which can be viewed through the room's ample oversized windows. French doors also lead out to a private patio, where the lucky new owner can enjoy their morning coffees. This space is just one of 22 bedrooms found across the town  – there are also a total of 24 bathrooms.

But an enticing home isn't all that this town has to offer. Indeed, if you're seeking a property with a job thrown in, this listing is almost certainly for you, because it comes complete with an operational hotel.

The authentic replica inn is spacious and beautiful in equal measure. The fully functional building boasts 12 guest bedrooms, each named after a character from the Old West. The entrance hall offers an imposing welcome, thanks to its soaring ceiling, cosy stove fireplace and piano, which we can imagine people gathering around for a sing-song.

Charming and traditional and yet finished to the highest of standards, the inn is overflowing with character. From tin ceilings to light fixtures created from old cart wheels, this hotel is sure to attract lovers of the Wild West. For those who prefer to stay mobile, the property also boasts 24 RV hookups, making it perfect for those exploring the local area.

Step outside and you'll discover the perfect vantage point from which to soak up the surroundings. We can just imagine pulling up a rocking chair on this porch and whiling away the hours with a glass of something in hand. The hotel could also attract equestrian fans, since the property comes with a five-stall livery stable, a barn, 13 stalls and endless exterior space for a canter.

On the 320-acre estate you'll also find a mini golf course, a shooting range and an outdoor stage, designed for live music. The next owner of the town could therefore run a unique roadside attraction, host an annual festival, create a boutique retreat, or even offer the estate up as a one-of-a-kind wedding venue. Yet that's not all this faux frontier town has to offer...

The authentic town also boasts its very own replica saloon, complete with taxidermy decor, a roaring fire, a long bar, and, of course, a set of wooden swing doors. We can almost hear the sound of gun fire in the street outside! 

Elsewhere you'll find a huge dance hall, which could be utilised for regular local events, or transformed into the ultimate spot for a unique Wild West-themed wedding! With plenty of seating, a large dancefloor and a stage for live performers, this space is bursting with potential.

Head back outside and you'll also come across an adorable private church. Although it's unclear whether the space has ever been used as a functional chapel with a real congregation, this building has great potential. You could even consider converting it into a heavenly home.

Inside, the charming chapel features a stunning vaulted ceiling, carved beams and wooden pews, making it the perfect spot to offer wedding ceremonies. “There’s something for everyone here,” the listing agent, Adrienne Haydu, told Realtor. “If you like history, it’s almost like a collector’s item. There are many historical aspects that still remain on the property. When you think of the big picture of how people could come and enjoy this property, it’s very, very flexible.”

History buffs will be delighted to hear that there are two cabins on the rural ranch that date back to the days when the Hoaglund Stagecoach line made stops in the area. Once upon a time, people traveling across the country would have stopped here to spend the night or buy themselves a warm meal. 

One of the barns houses a museum, kitted out with authentic stagecoaches and other historical artifacts from the early 19th century. Aside from any personal items belonging to the current owner, all the artifacts and furnishings found in the town are included in the sales price. While the purchaser might want to keep the stagecoaches and operate a museum, they may also wish to consider transforming the barn into a stunning home.

Perfectly placed for creating an awesome off-grid retreat, the property is positioned at the end of a long, winding road and is enclosed by mountains. The estate offers two ponds, two creeks and three wells, and is irrigated by the Harence ditch. What's more, it's less than four hours away from the city of Denver, while other nearby attractions, such as Joyful Journey Hot Springs, Wolf Creek Ski Resort and Great Sand Dunes National Park, mean this property offers the best of both worlds.

Whether you have residential, agricultural or commercial plans, this unique property is sure to tick all the right boxes. If you're hooked, then this tiny home is currently up for grabs with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. However, you'll need some seriously deep pockets, since it currently has an asking price of $4.7 million (£3.5m).
