Sedalia CO real estate

Sedalia CO real estate is as varied as the people who live in this diverse and rich environment. According to the Douglas County History Research Center, the town started in the 1860s as "Round Corral", then was called "Plum" for a while, then in 1872 the name Sedalia was recorded with the opening of a post office. The name came from the Missouri town which had been the former home of Henry Clay, a prominent landowner. Now you will find ranchers, commuters, shopkeepers and restaurant workers; executives and professionals; people who work in trucking, building & farm supply, and retired people happy with their Sedalia CO homes. Under the blue Colorado sky, the varied terrain of Sedalia accommodates a wide variety of interests. From the relatively flat fields along US Highway 87 to the foothills of the Front Range, you will find all kinds of homesites, on postage-stamp lots to spacious wooded acres with mountain, foothills, and even some city lights views.

Not far east of the town center you will find Cherokee Ranch & Castle, a former 3,000 acre cattle ranch that is now preserved as open space. The showpiece of the ranch is a replica of a 16th-century Scottish castle, built in 1924. It is open for tours and has a notable collection of art and artifacts. A small herd of prize Santa Gertrudis cattle, brought to the area from Texas by the last owner of the ranch, still roams the range.
