Welcome to Ponderosa Hill Ranch, a beautiful 243-acre property tucked into the foothills of northern Colorado and has a 4,320-square-foot home. This place offers true peace and quiet with mountain views in every direction, yet it's only 10 minutes from Lyons, 25 minutes to Boulder or Longmont, and about 45 minutes to Denver. The ranch sits in a great mountain community in Larimer County and is protected by a conservation easement.The land is what makes this property special - rolling hills, red rock cliffs, ponderosa pines, and a seasonal creek that winds through the lower meadow. The area is known for its elk and mule deer, with wildlife often seen right from the house. It's quiet, private, and full of character, offering space to hike, ride, or just relax and take in the views. The 4,320-square-foot residence offers 3 bedrooms and 4 baths and was thoughtfully built in 1989 with quality craftsmanship and a spacious, well-designed layout. The dramatic vaulted living room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by an impressive brick fireplace that creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Expansive windows frame scenic views and invite abundant natural light, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors. The generously proportioned living spaces including a large kitchen provide a wonderful foundation for elevated everyday living and effortless entertaining. While tasteful updates could further enhance its style, the home boasts exceptional bones and enduring character, offering a remarkable opportunity to create a truly stunning retreat. The outdoor decks overlook the valley, providing the perfect setting for quiet mornings or sunset gatherings. The property is serviced by a private well and septic system and includes an attached garage for convenience. A detached barn/outbuilding adds versatility for storage, hobbies, or equestrian use. For added peace of mind, the home is equipped with a newer Generac backup generator, ensuring reliable, uninterrupted power year-round. Ponderosa Hill Ranch gives you the feel of a large scale mountain property but keeps you close to town. It is a unique and hard to find real estate holding.
