A charming 1,834 sq. ft., 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, the property also includes a large shop, and well-equipped barn. Towering stands of healthy forest-featuring Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, spruce, and aspen-surround the open meadows, creating a stunning setting that borders National Forest on two sides.

At the heart of the property are expansive irrigated hay meadows, nourished by a network of adjudicated springs and a year-round stream.

Located just 20 minutes from the ranch, Fort Collins is consistently ranked among the top places to live in the U.S. Known for its vibrant downtown, strong sense of community, and access to outdoor recreation, the city offers a unique blend of small-town charm and modern amenities. With its proximity to town yet peaceful seclusion, the ranch could serve as a comfortable year-round residence or a perfect family retreat to escape and enjoy the outdoors.
