The property had been listed for $46 million with Hall and Hall. The brokerage declined to confirm any details of the transaction to FOX Business.

Westlands is located outside Meeker, Colorado, in the White River valley in the northwest corner of the state.

The ranch offers private river fishing thanks to its fishery on the north fork of the White River with a variety of pools, islands and confluences. It’s possible to catch multiple 10-15-pound trout in a season, according to the former listing. The property includes more than 5 miles of water between the two forks of the river.
