Set on 14.6 acres along the edge of protected open space, this rare foothills property offers privacy, direct trail access, and room to spread out - all just minutes from downtown Fort Collins. Bordering Reservoir Ridge open space to the west and south, the property connects directly to hiking and biking trails leading toward Horsetooth Reservoir, with expansive views, abundant wildlife, and a peaceful setting that feels far removed from town while still being only 10 minutes away.The custom-built white oak timber frame home offers approximately 3,700 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Built with structurally insulated panels (SIPs) and pylon construction, the home combines craftsmanship, efficiency, and durability. A custom Tulikivi soapstone fireplace anchors the main living area, creating warmth and character throughout the home.Beyond the home, the 5,000 square foot steel barn/garage provides exceptional flexibility. Approximately one-third is finished as a workshop, while the remaining space offers opportunities for vehicle storage, equipment, horses, hobbies, or future customization. The property also includes a well located near the southwest corner of the parcel.With direct access to open space, a private foothills setting, and potential future subdivision opportunities subject to county approval, this property offers a rare combination of recreation, functionality, and long-term flexibility.
