John Hendricks, founder of the Discovery Channel, TLC and Animal Planet, is selling his roughly 7,000 acres of land and estate in Colorado. The property, known as West Creek Ranch, is listed with LIV Sotheby’s. Here’s what you get for $149 million:

West Creek Ranch is so big it’s spread out over two states with 6,412 acres in Mesa County, Colorado, and 507 acres in Grand County, Utah. The entire property is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands and consists of four land parcels including pasture for horses and bison, stables, a helipad and airplane hangar with landing strip, trout streams and a bear and mountain lion habitat.
