Welcome to Ponderosa Hill Ranch, a beautiful 243-acre property tucked into the foothills of northern Colorado offering 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, keeping the land open and natural forever. The 4,320-square-foot home has 3 bedrooms and 4 baths, built in 1989 with solid construction and good space. The vaulted living room with its big brick fireplace feels warm and inviting, and large windows bring the outdoors right inside. 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. There's a roomy kitchen, plenty of natural light, and decks that look out over the valley. It has a well and septic, an attached garage, and a detached barn/outbuilding that works well for storage or horses. 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 enjoy 243 acres and take in the views. 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.
