$6.5M Ranch Comes With ... Herd of Elk 13-bedroom lodge is on 3,800 acres in Utah By Dustin Lushing, Newser Staff Posted Dec 21, 2011 5:06 PM CST 6 comments Comments File photo of a bull elk.

They contribute to the allure of the ranch as an upscale getaway for hunters, but the animals were not enough to keep the initial asking price of $10 million from plummeting in the dismal economy, reports KSL.com. The owners of the ranch descended into bankruptcy last year, and a Minnesota bank repossessed it and is now selling it at the slashed price. The ranch is replete with high-end comforts including an 11,000-square-foot lodge—decorated with hunting artifacts and filled with 13 master suite bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, two great rooms, and a high-tech conference center.
