About
KB Ranch is a privately owned ranch and event venue set on open acreage at 579 S Mountain View Rd in Castle Rock, with panoramic Front Range views. Part of the Havenfield Experience, the property combines natural beauty with refined ranch character — pasture for free-roaming Highland cows, Valais Blacknose sheep, fainting goats, and a few mini donkeys (including their well-known beer burros).
The ranch opened as a venue after the owners hosted their own wedding on the property and kept hearing the same thing from guests: "You should open this as a venue." They listened. Today KB Ranch hosts weddings and private events, glamping stays in the Shaggy Moo Yurt, and a growing public events calendar — including the Saturday Cowabunga Cafe where you can sip coffee in the pasture with the animals, immersive evening experiences like Bovine and Crime mystery dinners, and seasonal pop-ups.
