About

E Bar Ranch

Previously known as Angelview at Twin Lakes, a name inspired by the "Praying Angel" and also a nod to God's beautiful Colorado country, it is a naturally occurring feature that displays a host of trees in the shape of an Angel. This ethereal arrangement overlooks the glistening Twin Lakes, visible on the mountainside before heavy snow. Angelview at Twin Lakes was recently rebranded to E Bar Ranch Lakeside I and II to honor and uphold the traditions and values of the American West. Coloradans have known there is something special about Twin Lakes and E Bar Ranch Riverside ever since the first settlers arrived back in the 1800s. Once again there’s a "Cowboy Comeback" in the air and E Bar Ranch is at the forefront of this experience, creating a space for families to feel a cultural resurgence, a return to timeless values, and a simpler way of life. E Bar Ranch embodies the cowboy spirit with community at the heart of everything we do. We strive to preserve the integrity of the western lifestyle, upholding family traditions just like our neighbors at E Bar Ranch Riverside, the McMurrys’. They are fifth-generation ranchers running cattle the old-fashioned way with chuck wagons and horses, crossing the river to bring their herd home. The E Bar Ranch community encourages creating a legacy of family traditions, bonds, and the simple joys of time spent outdoors. 90% of life is the view, and here you can’t miss it.Located just a stone's throw away from Aspen, E Bar Ranch Lakeside is an ultra-private luxury estate overlooking Twin Lakes, Colorado's largest glacier-formed lake at the base of Colorado’s highest peak. E Bar Ranch offers a hushed escape that is conveniently located near larger mountain towns, such as Aspen, Vail, and Breckenridge, making it the perfect ground for outdoor adventures like world-class rafting, famed downhill skiing and cultural experiences. Out here, you can bask in natural beauty, abundant water features like lakes, streams, waterfalls, and ponds, and the San Isabel National Forest where elk, deer, and the occasional bear pay a visit. Because family and fellowship come first to us, our first completed amenity at E Bar Ranch Lakeside I is a renovated 100-year-old cabin with a 1,200 square-foot deck from wood milled on the property. This cabin serves as a cozy clubhouse for residents and serves as the heart of the community, welcoming relaxation and reconnection, while fostering hospitality and fellowship. Onsite features include a deck with an observatory, a business center, a fire pit, a great room with a fireplace, a year-round hot tub, and a future catering kitchen with a five-star chef. E Bar Ranch Lakeside is more than just a place of beauty, it's a place of harmony. In total, there are 2,700 acres of aquatic habitat with water weaving itself into the very fabric of the land. A shimmering lake reflects the majesty of the mountains as historic fen wetlands whisper tales of ancient times. Gentle streams gurgle through mossy banks, and cascading waterfalls serenade you with their song. We've carefully planned this haven to coexist with nature, not exploit it. A 10-acre wildlife corridor at E Bar Ranch Lakeside is a lifeline, a welcoming path for wildlife like elk herds to roam freely. From your porch or while exploring the informative nature trails, you might catch an elk, a bighorn sheep, moose, or a fox flitting through the undergrowth. The properties are a testament to the peaceful coexistence of nature’s creatures and E Bar Ranch residents. E Bar Ranch Lakeside features 1.5 miles of trails winding along the glistening lake and ponds, cascading waterfalls, and murmuring streams. Hike, bike, or even ride horseback through this enchanting landscape, experiencing the raw beauty of Colorado. Step straight onto the iconic 567-mile Colorado Trail directly from the property, a path that leads you deeper into the heart of the Rockies. Cast a line into the well-stocked lake, help the kids in your life catch their first trout, or just take a load off and relax. At Lakeside, fishing becomes not just a sport, but a moment to truly connect with the magic of the environment. E Bar Ranch Riverside plans for just 20 out of 80 acres to be developed, holding the remaining 60 for agriculture. The Western lifestyle is one of meaningful outdoor experiences, of focus on family, and of strong values; E Bar Ranch aims to embrace and share these values. The growing presence of the equine and Western industry across television, social media, music, and sports, along with the surge in associated products, demonstrates a strong desire for these experiences and values within our culture. The economic impact of the horse industry in the US is evidence of the validation of and push towards the values E Bar Ranch strives to provide as a venue. The 100 billion dollar equine industry, including direct spending and related sectors, highlights the significant economic impact and growing interest in the lifestyle that E Bar Ranch aims to embody. Freedom, integrity, wide open spaces, self-reliance, a connection with the land and wildlife, and a sense of hope for the future are evident in the design of every aspect of E Bar Ranch. E Bar Ranch isn't just a place; it's your story waiting to be lived. A story of adventure, fellowship, family, and the breathtaking beauty of nature. This is your invitation.

His prowess extends beyond the business realm; he is also a distinguished strategic thought leader, land developer, and award-winning film producer. Elias spent decades helping some of the largest non-profits in the world reach their goals. In 2017, Elias founded his land development company and raised capital to purchase and develop 75 acres at the base of Mount Elbert, Colorado’s highest peak. The E Bar Ranch Lakeside I property is 35 minutes from Aspen in the heart of natural beauty and outdoor adventure, overlooking 2,700 acres of water. Elias has managed a team of engineers, attorneys, and land planners through the entitlement process to get approval to sell 18 premium 3-acre lots. In 2019, two-time Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant (best known for Good Will Hunting) joined Elias as he produced AGE Out to bring awareness to children’s enormous challenges when they age out of foster care. He was able to bring in significant actors like Tye Sheridan (Spielberg’s READY PLAYER ONE), Imogen Poots (An international actress with 41 film credits), Caleb Landry Jones (GET OUT), and Jeffrey Wright (WESTWORLD and 31 Nominations, 11 wins, and 1 Golden Globe). The film has won many awards around the globe, from Best Picture to Best Actor. In late 2020, Elias founded Red Balloon Studios in response to a global need for entertainment that inspires and urges positive social change. Red Balloon Studios cultivates films with a unique ability to shift culture and forge relationships between audiences who yearn for better content and forward-thinking corporations seeking to increase their social responsibilities and global citizenship. The innovative, sustainable business model ensures large audiences for social impact films and provides lucrative investment returns. The model simultaneously creates a movement around each film, utilizing a strategic plan that fosters social impact for the specific social issues in the stories. Red Balloon Studios has a major motion picture in pre-production about one of the greatest humanitarians of all time. In 2022, Elias formed an investment group and purchased another 80 acres adjacent to E Bar Ranch Lakeside I, known as E Bar Ranch Lakeside II. The vision for this development is 14 premium 3-acre lots, a lodge, a wellness center, retail, restaurants, E Bar, glamping, and townhomes. In 2023, Elias and his investment team purchased an additional 123 acres on the river in Buena Vista, CO. This property is known as E Bar Ranch Riverside.
