About Mirr Ranch Group
Ken Mirr founded Mirr Ranch Group in 2005 after working as a public lands attorney. The firm is based in Denver and sells ranches and land across the American West and in Patagonia. Its focus is legacy ranches and sporting properties with conservation value.
Mirr Ranch compares selling a landscape to selling fine art. Each property takes discretion, careful research and the ability to tell the land’s full story. The firm acts as a fiduciary partner for landowners who are buying or selling.
Clients are not assigned a broker at random. The firm matches each client with the broker best suited to their needs.
The work also goes beyond the sale. Mirr Ranch aims to keep working ranches running, protect scenic views, and keep private and public lands connected for wildlife. Its listings call out the water, soils, fisheries and wildlife habitat that sustain each property.
