Property Description

27 private acres in Deer Creek Valley with 600+ feet of Deer Creek frontage, a private pond, gated access, a renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin, and a rare opportunity to rebuild or reimagine the existing 5,000 SF residence. Legacy ranch potential just minutes from Hwy 285 and under an hour to Denver. Set on 27 private acres in the heart of Deer Creek Valley, this ranch is about land, water, location, and infrastructure. Properties offering this combination of live water, usable acreage, accessibility, and existing improvements are becoming increasingly difficult to find along the Front Range. Behind the gated entrance, a paved driveway winds through towering pines and across a newly constructed heavy-duty concrete bridge to a setting defined by privacy and possibility. With more than 600 feet of Deer Creek flowing through the property, a private pond, rolling meadows, mature forest, and dramatic mountain surroundings, the ranch offers an exceptional foundation for a future estate, retreat, or recreational property. The renovated cabin provides immediate functionality and flexibility, ideal for full-time living, caretaker quarters, rental income, or use during future construction. The property also includes an additional 5,000 SF residence with potential to renovate, rebuild, or remove entirely, depending on a buyer’s vision. Significant infrastructure is already in place, including natural gas, well, septic, solar, gated access, extensive driveway systems, and multiple outbuildings, including a detached garage/shop, storage buildings, kennel shed, and steel carport. Recreating these improvements today would require substantial time and investment. Favorable zoning combined with no HOA or covenants opens the door to a wide range of potential uses rarely available in mountain communities today. For buyers seeking usable mountain acreage with live water, existing infrastructure, and long-term potential, this is an opportunity to create something special.
