An exciting business opportunity has come on the market just northeast of Denver along I-76—a combination lodge, and event center on 25 acres.
The first offering is the Longmeadow Lodge. A state-of-the-art wedding venue and event center on 25 acres. The lodge is completely furnished and will be sold as a “turn-key” opportunity. The lodge has an excellent reputation and solid bookings. Large events such as weddings and banquets typically book at rates between $16,000-$25,000.
The property can be also bought together with an additional 635 acres known for outstanding sporting venues with excellent income potential. These two properties are somewhat complex, with several different facets. The combined two offering highlights include:
The Sporting Clays Club is located northeast of the event center and is considered one of the top Sporting Clay venues in the Western United States. The club has hosted events as large as 600 people and can routinely host events with up to 300 shooters. A typical charity shoot, for example, books at rates between $16,000-$25,000.
Antelope Creek has not forgotten its farming roots. The property includes a 100-acre plot planted with an excellent irrigated stand of orchard and brome grasses hay, in addition to other parcels with rotational winter wheat acres.
Another source of potential income on the Antelope Creek properties is the RV campsite operation. Currently operated to offer additional housing options to guests attending events at the ranch, the sites have 30-amp and 50-amp connections. These sites could be operated on a year-round or at least a seasonal basis to provide additional income to the venue.
For a long time, it seemed that 30 miles east of Denver was a long way out east. With the explosive growth happening on the Front Range, now it doesn’t seem that far at all anymore. Located 7 miles south of I-76 Exit 66A on Hwy 52, the Bijou’s Antelope Creek Ranch shooting preserve and Antelope Ranch Event Center is ideally situated to capture future growth. Large developments are planned, including a huge 6,500-acre inland port called Port Colorado and the Colorado Air & Space Port, the Aurora Campus for Renewable Energy, and the Rocky Mountain Rail Park, all of which are located just 30 miles south of this property. As well, several thousand housing units are planned in Bennett, a few miles east of those huge developments.
A new development in Wiggins, the Rodeo Dunes golf course project, is slated for 500 higher-end luxury homes. Other developments are planned for the area, which is one of the fastest-growing locations in Colorado. Such development will provide an even greater source of business for Antelope Creek and its offerings.
*The main home, outbuildings, bird pens, and pond on 28 acres are also available, call Listing Agents for more details.
