Colorado Ranch From John Wayne Classic ‘True Grit’ Up For Sale

Roll the opening credits of the 1969 John Wayne classic True Grit and you’ll see a scene largely unchanged today. It’s the rugged barn and old school at a ranch for sale in Placerville, Colorado. The San Juan Mountains stretch along the distant horizon.

True Grit West, encompassing 336 acres on Hastings Mesa, still has its original livestock barn and corrals. The historic school house remains too, restored by the current owners in keeping with its Western heritage.
