for $4,250,000 with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. This 2,104 square foot home was built in 1940 on a lot size of 71.1.
Live water, irrigated hay meadows, private trout fishing, and direct access to thousands of acres of public land define this exceptional 71.1 acre Colorado ranch. Year round Cherry Creek flows through the property, valuable water rights and an established irrigation system support approximately 16.1 acres of productive hay ground, and a private pond stocked with rainbow trout creates a centerpiece for recreation and wildlife. Bordering approximately 617 acres of BLM land on two sides and providing access to nearly 48,000 acres of San Isabel National Forest, this property offers a rare combination of agricultural productivity, big game habitat, and recreational opportunity. Expansive views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, irrigated meadows, flowing water, and mature trees create a setting that feels distinctly Colorado. A rustic historic log cabin overlooking the pond adds character and serves as a reminder of the property's ranching heritage. The seller has also completed extensive fire mitigation throughout the property. The 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers approximately 1,654 square feet designed to capture the surrounding scenery. Vaulted tongue and groove ceilings with exposed beams, floor to ceiling windows, hardwood and tile flooring, and abundant natural light create a warm ranch atmosphere. The great room features a floor to ceiling stone fireplace accented by a pellet stove and stunning views of the pond, meadows, and mountains beyond. An expansive deck overlooks the trout pond, irrigated meadows, and surrounding mountains, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, and wildlife viewing. Additional improvements include a detached two car garage, 2 sheds, equipment shed. Whether envisioned as a working ranch, hunting retreat or private residence, this exceptional property combines live water, water rights, productive hay ground, trout fishing, elk habitat, and extensive public land access in one remarkable Fremont County offering.
