In this very special episode, we’re looking at one of our brokerage’s most unique and meaningful transactions: the sale of St. Benedict’s Monastery in Snowmass, CO. Covering over 3,700 acres, this property was about more than just land. It represented a community, spirituality, and decades of stewardship at the hands of the Cistercian monks. Selling it was no small feat.
Have you ever needed the pope to approve a ranch sale? In this episode, Haley and Ken unpack the complexities of selling a monastery and what it took to find a buyer who could carry its legacy forward.
