The current owner of Granby Ranch Marise Cipriani has owned the 5,000-acre ski and golf community for 25 years. She is handing a lender the title to the Grand County property where a $600 million mega-resort was once proposed, The Colorado Sun reports.

Located just 90 minutes west of Denver, Granby Ranch is a family-friendly community with skiing, hiking, fly fishing, mountain biking, and golfing.
