Property description
Here’s the incomparable mountain horse ranch and peaceful family retreat you’ve been looking for. The nearly 40 acre property has ag status for tax purposes, TWO just updated three bedroom homes, two separate two car attached garages, a huge new shop, a seven stall horse barn, a pond, forests and pastures, stunning rock outcroppings and hiking trails, extensive wildlife, and a close-knit community yet the feeling of total privacy. Don't let the Littleton address fool you - this is true mountain living.
This dream property is just a short drive from Denver (14 miles) and Conifer (11 miles) and just over an hour from DIA, yet nestled in the heart of the foothills, you'll experience the perfect balance of convenience and serenity. The last five miles are on county maintained wide gravel roads, where you will frequently meet your neighbors and view Colorado wildlife. This drive will show you some of the best views you’ll ever see; Pikes Peak, Devils Head, and the Rockies to the south and west, and Chatfield Reservoir, Waterton Canyon, and downtown Denver lights at night to the north and east.
Main Home: The newly paved driveway leads to the main home; a custom-built ranch style built in 1990 with three bedrooms, three full baths, and 3500sf. The expansive master bedroom features a five-piece bathroom including double vanity and soaking tub, and a walkout onto the spacious deck overlooking the healthy conifer forest and horse pasture. This home has been thoughtfully designed and maintained, with high-end finishes including stone, carpet, hardwood floors and granite countertops, and new appliances. The open living area with a propane fireplace that opens onto the huge covered back deck is ideal for family gatherings. The home has two wood burning stoves, one upstairs and one down. The fully finished walkout basem*nt has a spacious additional family room, plus an additional full bath. The home is currently undergoing a renovation of all bathrooms including installation of luxurious porcelain tile floors. This amazing home features two attached oversized two car garages; one on each end of the home. The pond is located just outside the main home, and gardens and wildflowers complement the front yard. The interior was repainted in 2023, the exterior and decks received a fresh coat of stain in 2022. Hardwood floors were refinished in April, and metal roof will be repainted in May of 2024.
Second Home: The second custom home is a 2,735 sf mountain contemporary with vaulted ceilings built in 2000, and located only a short walk away but invisible from the main home with total privacy. After being used for five years as a rental which generated $2,400 per month, the second home underwent a major renovation in spring of 2024 and feels like a new home; with new hardwood floors, tile floors in bathrooms, a new butcher block countertop with gas cooktop, newly painted base cabinets in the kitchen, and more., This home feels like the ultimate Colorado mountain getaway; with the magnificent woodburning stove, and back deck that overlooks the fenced backyard, chicken coop and storage shed. The expansive forested backyard invites you to explore the hiking trails and stunning rock outcroppings, forage for wild berries, and pitch a tent for a true wilderness experience on your own land. The large unfinished basem*nt offers additional storage or workshop space. This home would be ideal for extended family or as an Air BNB.
Horse facilities include perimeter fencing and cross-fenced pastures, a horse barn with five smaller stalls and two 12x12’ stalls that open into adjoining paddocks leading into extensive pastures. A fifteen acre fenced pasture with forest and lush grass lies behind the main home, plus an additional five acre pasture near second home and shop. The barn has room for over 250 bales of hay on main level plus second story loft. A separate tack house is located beside barn, to easily ride out onto the mountain trails. Space for a 100’ x 200’ arena has been measured out behind barn.
The 2,400 sf steel garage and workshop built in 2018 features a concrete floor and workshop heated by passive solar in one half and vehicle storage in the other half.
Experience Mountain Living at Its Finest: Escape to your own private oasis and embrace the beauty of mountain living. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, 14697 Dancing Bear Trail offers the ultimate Colorado experience.
