Property Description

An extraordinary opportunity to own 62 acres of Colorado mountain country, where privacy, panoramas, equestrian amenities, greenhouse and gardens, and a beautifully appointed custom home come together in an exceptional setting. Dramatic vistas stretch in every direction to make this more than a home. It is a place of ideal perfection. With recreation, outbuildings, gardens, and endless possibilities to create the equestrian lifestyle you've always envisioned, there is an incredible connection to the landscape, and the privacy to enjoy it. At the heart of it all is a custom ranch home designed to capture the setting, with views from nearly every vantage point. A wraparound deck and hot tub make the outdoors an extension of the home, with access from the primary suite. The spacious kitchen features custom cherry cabinetry and natural stone countertops. Multiple bonus spaces on both the main level and in the basement offer flexibility for additional sleeping quarters or guest spaces, office, studio, library, theater, sewing, gym, yoga, or whatever your lifestyle desires. A new septic system is being installed, adding to the value of the property's next chapter and overall long-term investment. Horse enthusiasts will admire the thoughtful equestrian facilities, including a 3-horse barn and stable with turnout area and support room, additional run-in shed, and fenced riding arena. An attached garage, detached garage, and separate workshop provide abundant space for vehicles, recreation, equipment, projects, and all the necessities of country living. While Aspen Acres touched surrounding areas, the home itself was fortified with defensible space through responsible vegetation management. It was and is a substantial residence among natural landscaping which shows its resilience. Photos and video predate Aspen Acres, and showcase the endurance, scale, and beauty of the landscape's established character and the setting the Why Knot Ranch is naturally returning toward.
