The many benefits of simple, coordinated healthcare

Kaiser Permanente combines health care and coverage in one connected system to maximize employee health and minimize employer costs.

At an elevation of 7,200 feet, the land has a variety of terrain with grass-covered parklike meadows, ponderosa pine tree-covered hillsides, creek bottom and eye-catching rock outcroppings. The ranch has several stocked ponds for fishing and large areas of natural pasture for grazing.

The ranch includes a main house, barns, sheds, corral, bunkhouse and full-time caretaker’s home.

Listing broker Ron Morris, co-founder of Ranch Marketing Associates in Johnstown, said the new owners will lease-back property to a group of Benedictine nuns who run the Abbey of St. Walburga on the ranch.

Public records indicate the sale price was $15.9 million, but Morris, who listed the property at $18.3 million, said the actual sale price was $16.5 million.
