Property description
Horse-Ready Acreage with Privacy, Views & Optional Independence This European chateau–inspired estate offers a rare combination of meaningful acreage, agricultural flexibility, and proximity to town, all within a secure, gated setting. Spanning 26.47 acres and bordering the protected open space of Rueter-Hess Reservoir, the property sits in unincorporated Douglas County—providing privacy, regulatory flexibility, and access via a privately maintained road just 12 minutes to Castle Rock and 20 minutes to Park Meadows. Land Well Suited for Equestrian & Agricultural Use The gently rolling acreage provides an excellent foundation for equestrian or hobby-farm pursuits. Nearly 20 acres are fenced and suitable for livestock or horses, with agricultural zoning and a well permit that allows domestic use, livestock watering, and irrigation of up to one acre. This combination supports a wide range of future improvements, including barns, loafing sheds, paddocks, or riding facilities, should a buyer choose to add them. Importantly, while the land offers scale and flexibility, routine maintenance is intentionally concentrated around the residence, with the balance of the acreage remaining naturally preserved. Owners can enjoy the benefits of open land without the burden of maintaining the full property as active grounds. Outdoor Living & Views Mature, irrigated landscaping surrounds the residence and frames sweeping lake and mountain views from one of Castle Rock’s most elevated vantage points. Resort-style amenities include a lighted sport court, outdoor kitchen with TV, fire features and hot tub, a gazebo with wood-burning fireplace, zip line, and batting cage—creating a private retreat equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. A Home Designed for Comfort & Flexibility Inside, the residence features a dramatic entry and expansive windows that capture the surrounding scenery. Highlights include multiple fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen, and private bedroom suites, including a luxurious primary. Flexible spaces for office, fitness, or recreation allow the home to adapt to a variety of lifestyles. The seller recognizes that ownership at this level often includes tailoring a property to individual needs and is open to thoughtful solutions that support buyer customization, including future equestrian or agricultural improvements. Efficient Ownership & Peace of Mind The property is equipped with an integrated solar array with battery backup, private well, whole-house generator, on-site fuel storage, and an interior fire-suppression sprinkler system—providing resilience and optional independence without requiring off-grid living. A greenhouse and garden further support agricultural use and self-sufficiency. An agricultural tax designation (grazing land) may reduce property taxes while preserving long-term land value. Adjacent PWSD-managed open space provides controlled access to trails, water recreation, and natural scenery, all just minutes from Castle Rock’s dining, shopping, and community amenities. The current offering also provides flexibility for buyers who wish to personalize aspects of the residence over time. The seller understands that ownership at this level often includes tailoring spaces to individual preferences and is open to structuring thoughtful solutions that support customization as part of an overall transaction.
