Greg Norman Seven Lakes Ranch Sells – Hayden Outdoors Brings Buyer

June 2, 2021 – Meeker, CO: In an onslaught of major recent land deals for Hayden Outdoors Real Estate, one is getting lots of press. The sale of Greg Norman’s Seven Lakes Ranch near Meeker, Colorado. In addition to the recent sale of the Kucera Ashcraft Ranch, Twin Pine Ranch and others that Hayden Outdoors have represented, totaling over 50,000 acres this year, the purchase of Norman’s ranch is significant for more than the popularity of its owner.

Hayden Outdoors agent and Elk Creek guide Colton Brown represented Chuck Kuhn, the buyer, in the transaction, which in total transferred roughly 11,600 acres of land ownership. Multiple parties were involved with the deal, one being JK Land Holdings, owned by Kuhn, which seeks to conserve nearly 11,000 acres.

The Kuhn family will retain the Seven Lakes lodge and surrounding land, and a majority of the remaining acreage will be acquired by neighboring Elk Creek Ranch, a one-of-a-kind private sporting community dedicated to conscientious stewardship of the land that it owns and manages. Brown is a guide at Elk Creek Ranch, and knows the ins and outs of the property, the river and Seven Lakes Ranch.

“This transaction spanned over 9 months when we started early dealings. It was an important goal for Chuck and I to give Elk Creek Ranch an opportunity to add an additional 11,000 acres of prime Elk hunting and a couple miles of very important water. In my mind, this addition completely transforms Elk Creek into one of the most pristine in the country for fishing and hunting. We now have an accumulated 25,000 acres of hunting accompanied by over 30 miles of fishing. As a resident and native to this valley the conservation easement is important to all parties, assuring this country will never be developed.”

The buyer is a land enthusiast as well. “Greg’s legacy extends well beyond golf. He is an outdoorsman and conservationist, and we share his vision of preserving this amazing swath of Colorado from future development,” said Mr. Kuhn, CEO, JKLH, and Founder and CEO, JK Moving Services, the nation’s largest independently owned and operated moving company.

With this acquisition, the Elk Creek Ranch development will double its grounds to over 25,000 acres, expanding what is already well known in the recreational and sporting industry as a top “shared-amenity” ranch in North America.  From fishing to hunting, private restaurant and bar, on-site fly shop and clubhouse, Elk Creek Ranch offers homeowners luxury amenities and world class recreation in the quiet White River Valley, just east of Meeker, Colorado.

Hall and Hall represented the sellers in the transaction.
