Are the seven dwarfs included? Walt Disney’s granddaughter buys fairy tale Colorado ranch for $11m – and it looks like a luxury upgrade of Snow White’s cottage

Tamara Scheer, the 57-year-old granddaughter of cartoon legend Walt Disney, has allegedly snapped up a dreamy historic ranch in Colorado for $11.25 million.

The sprawling 490-acre ranch sits in the rolling hills of Steamboat Springs, nestled close to Elk River, and boasts cozy rock fireplaces, weathered timber accents and antique stoves.

Its quaint features make it somewhat reminiscent of the cottage Snow White lived in with the Seven Dwarfs, as imagined by Walt when he illustrated his first feature film, released in December 1937.

New home: Tamara Scheer, the 57-year-old granddaughter of cartoon legend Walt Disney, has allegedly snapped up a dreamy historic ranch in Colorado for $11.25 million (pictured)

According to Steamboat Today, the property, listed by Hall and Hall, sold after one and a half years on the market, on September 12, to a buyer listed as Tamara Diane Miller, the Disney decedent’s maiden name.

Originally known as the May Ranch for most of the 20th century, and belonging formerly to a cattle rancher, the property includes a 2,674-square-foot main house, two historic cabins, two barns, a shop, storage garage, shed and an outdoor equestrian arena.

Tamara, who purchased the ranch for less than its asking price of $12.95 million, is one of seven siblings, and her professional occupation is unknown. Her mother Diane Disney Miller, Walt’s daughter, died last November at the age of 79, after injuries sustained in a fall.

At the time of her death, Tamara’s mother was president of the Walt Disney Family Museum, which opened in 2009, and was established to celebrate and study his life.

Penny Fletcher, a broker with Colorado Group Realty, who handled the sale of the ranch, said that Tamara had lived in the Steamboat Springs region before.

‘Her decision to return was because of this community and the rural attributes it has,’ the broker told Steamboat Today. ‘She was looking for something unique and different, and this was great ground for her horses.’

Interior shots of the property reveal an upmarket ski chalet aesthetic, with wood beams and floors throughout and a cozy, rustic kitchen complete with stone slab counter tops.

A large American flag hangs in the spacious storage garage, which houses quad bikes and snow plows, and several mounted stag heads appear on walls.

A set of rocking chairs sit outside one wood-walled building, and a pair of antique snow boots hang on the walls of another.

Tamara has only twice spoken publicly about her late grandfather, who died of lung cancer in 1966 when she was six years old.

Speaking to People in 1998 in regards to defamatory rumors surrounding his life, she said: ‘We know all the rumors about my grandfather, and he was none of those things.’

Dinner time: The kitchen boasts stone counter tops, a central island and low hanging ceiling lamps

Charm: Another room in the main house, complete with en-suite bathroom

Tamara added: ‘He was not gay, he was not frozen, he was not a Nazi, he was not an FBI spy. From everything I’ve been able to piece together, he was a pretty good guy.’

She also appeared in a documentary about him, Walt: The Man Behind the Myth, in 2001.

Other than that, Tamara has kept herself largely out of the public eye, and can certainly continue to enjoy her privacy as she settles down into life at her very own fairy tale abode.
