Greg Norman’s Seven Lakes Ranch is one of the finest hunting and fishing ranches in Colorado – and it could be yours.
The former pro golfer’s sprawling 4800-hectare property rests 20 minutes outside Meeker, in the coveted White River Valley of the Flat Tops Mountains – a region prized for its varied terrain and unspoilt natural beauty.
Norman purchased an initial nearby plot in the mid-90s, slowly acquiring neighbouring properties and creating the now expansive Seven Lakes Ranch.
The property’s major draw is the lifestyle it delivers – fishing in the trout-filled White River, biking, hiking, horse riding through the seemingly limitless terrain or game hunting (should that be your thing) in one of the largest elk and deer migrations in the Rocky Mountains. 
A 1290sqm main lodge holds nine-bedrooms, along with seven guest cabins, staff quarters, a historic dance hall, equestrian facilities, fitness centre and spa.
Norman and his interior designer wife, Kirsten, have transformed the lodge – which has a chic and modern-rustic vibe befitting the area.
The bones of the well-appointed lodge – made of massive logs driven in from Montana – lend themselves to the luxe outfit, while dramatic 30-foot vaulted ceilings and windows frame impressive views while filling the main space with light.
A true entertainer that can easily accommodate large groups – there’s also a formal dining room, movie theatre and Western-themed bar and lounge.
The ranch is listed at approx $62 million with Hall and Hall’s Brian Smith, +1 970 879 5544.

The US housing market remains under pressure as high mortgage rates continue to weigh on affordability and demand. Industry leaders say 2026 has been one of the toughest years for home sales, with slower price growth, weaker mortgage activity, and fewer buyers entering the market. However, experts say reduced competition and more price cuts could create opportunities for well-prepared buyers.

The typically busy spring season for the housing market was a dud, and the summer isn’t looking much brighter.
Housing services companies like Zillow Group and Rocket RKT +3.78% were loud and clear last week on earnings calls: Rocket CEO Varun Krishna called the quarter through June “one of the toughest spring housing markets in years.”
Jeremy Hofmann, Zillow’s chief financial officer, said on a conference call that the company predicted earlier this year that the market for mortgages would be flat. “We actually now think it’s going to be down low-to-mid-single digits,” he said.
The rest of 2026 will remain challenging for mortgage origination volume, says KBW analyst Bose George. The question now is what happens in 2027. “If mortgage rates remain [around] 6.75%, I think that’s going to be challenging even for next year,” he says.
But what’s bad news for mortgage companies could be a positive for bargain hunters. Buyers can expect prices to grow more slowly—or mildly decline—with less competition as long as mortgage rates remain unpredictable.
Mortgage rates at the beginning of the year were solidly below year-ago levels, notes Zillow senior economist Kara Ng. But they surpassed last year’s levels recently, she adds, referencing Freddie Mac’s weekly survey of 30-year fixed mortgage rates. Last week’s reading, at 6.69%, was higher than year-ago levels for the first time in 2026.
“From the affordability point of view, it’s going to get more challenging in the second half of the year,” she says. “And when affordability gets more challenging, that impacts sales and home price appreciation.”
Mortgage application data tracked by the Mortgage Bankers Association has cooled since the beginning of the year. The trade group expects that the number of mortgage originations in the remaining two quarters will lag behind last year’s levels, after exceeding 2025 levels in the first half.
Rocket’s early-stage data—which the company told Barron’s it derives from its brokerage Redfin, demand for its mortgage products, and signs in its servicing portfolio that a homeowner is preparing to refinance or move—“leads us to expect the third quarter mortgage market to be smaller than the second,” Chief Financial Officer Brian Brown, said on the company’s call. He added that such an occurrence is “something the industry has not seen since 2022.”
Prices will be about flat nationally, Ng says. Zillow’s most recent forecast, which shows how values are expected to change in the year ending June 2027, show them dropping in roughly half of the 100 largest U.S. metros for which data is available.
Buyers aren’t rushing in at a time when mortgage costs are rising and unpredictable. But those with the right combination of patience and cash could stand to benefit. “If you are financially qualified to buy a starter home, you are facing less competition and you’re more likely to get a price cut,” Ng says.
