Property Overview

Its location, just 15± miles west of Loveland and Fort Collins along a paved county road, ensures easy, year-round access, a substantial attribute for a property of this character.
Spanning 467± acres, the ranch encompasses a diverse landscape, transitioning from gentle hillside meadows to rugged mountainous ravines. This varied topography creates a rich mosaic of multiple habitats.

Historically, the Bar D Ranch has supported and benefited from cattle grazing operations, a testament to its productive capacity. However, in recent years, grazing has been kept to a minimum, preserving and enhancing the natural habitat, fostering a robust environment for local wildlife. The property is frequented by a variety of species, including elk, mule deer, moose, and turkeys, as well as bears, mountain lions, coyotes, and bobcats. This commitment to stewardship has created an active ecosystem that appeals to those who value natural landscapes and wildlife preservation.
