Rare 48.3-acre ranch just minutes from Fort Collins offers unbeatable privacy, usable land, and versatile infrastructure across two separately deeded parcels. With two Domestic Use Wells, fenced pastures, healthy managed forest, and an Active Forest Ag Plan in place (providing valuable tax benefits should the buyers continue with their own plan), this property is ready for your vision. Whether you're launching a working ranch, family compound, or private retreat, this one delivers. Two Cleary steel buildings offer 4 stalls with runs, tack/feed space, workshop area with wood-burning stove, and oversized equipment/hay storage. A third framed structure is ideal to transition into a bunkhouse/hunting hut as needed. A second septic system has been started-just add a leach field to enable a future home, ADU, or expansion. The residence features 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and mountain or meadow views from every level. The main floor includes a generous kitchen flowing into dining space, light and bright living room with vaulted ceilings, 2 bedrooms, and full bath. The upper-level primary suite features a private balcony, while the walk-out basement includes two additional bedrooms, a second living space with a wood-burning fireplace, a full bathroom, and a laundry room. Multiple wood-burning fireplaces and a pellet stove keep things cozy year-round. Directly around the home, you'll find multple decks, a large fenced yard, play area, expansive garden, and abundant wildlife including a plethora of hummingbirds! Enjoy wide-open views, true peace and quiet, and the freedom to build, graze, garden, or grow. Properties like this are rare and offer a unique lifestyle not often found this close to town and recreation!
