Welcome to your mountain retreat! This property boasts nearly 5 acres set above Horsetooth Reservoir with abundant walking trails and seating for spectacular views. The current owners have poured their hearts into this property to care for it, and create a peaceful retreat. Features include 1700 feet of living space, a dedicated office, three bedrooms an open floor plan and a primary bedroom with stunning views of Horsetooth Reservoir. Additional features include: newer appliances, new carpet, a newer roof and hot water heater. The two professionally-maintained decks have multiple levels and total about 800 sf. The backyard has a sizable dog fenced area but the fencing is easily removed if desired. The extraordinary view from this property delights all visitors. One can see the wildmills of Wyoming and about 80 miles to the north, south and east including all of Fort Collins, Horsetooth Reservoir, and on July 4, over 25 fireworks displays. At 5,880 feet elevation with no street lights, it is good for stargazing and nighttime use of the therapeutic spa. The five acres, except for near the house and the 3,000 feet of new nature trails, remain untouched by humans, and share the same ecology with Lory State Park which is 300 yards away. With about 200 trees and sage, yucca, cactus and native plants including a dozen wildflower types, many animals, especially deer, bobcat and fox, are comfortable here. Several fawns were born on this land, and came to visit the patio later. Hummingbirds are resident each summer and many birds. The nature trails have numerous benches, chairs and stairs made of native stone or brick, and one can visit the highest point of the property at about 5,950 feet. There is a stone circle which allows sighting of the sunrise on solstice and equinox mornings. Truly a naturalist's delight and a refuge, the perspectives of this property are very special indeed, yet it is only a 25 minute drive to College Avenue.
