PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Left Hand Ranch | Premier Colorado Equestrian & Legacy Ranch | 214± Acres Designed for horse enthusiasts, cattle ranchers, and outdoor sportsmen alike, Left Hand Ranch offers 214± acres of productive pasture, irrigated hay ground, exceptional water rights, and endless riding opportunities in Northern Colorado. Ride directly from your doorstep across hundreds of acres of gently rolling native grass pasture. The ranch is fully fenced and cross-fenced, making it ideal for rotational grazing, while approximately 60 irrigated acres of premium alfalfa are serviced by a five-tower center pivot with a 120-foot end gun, providing quality hay for your own horses or an additional income source. One share of North Poudre Irrigation water transfers with the property, along with the coveted first headgate below the dam, delivering some of the earliest and most reliable irrigation water on the Buckeye Ditch. A documented natural spring, flowing year-round at a constant 55 degrees since the late 1800s, provides dependable water for livestock and wildlife. Horse owners will appreciate the property's location just a quarter mile from Park Creek Reservoir (membership required), offering additional scenic riding opportunities, while nearby Soapstone Prairie Natural Area and Red Mountain Open Space provide miles of additional equestrian trails. The ranch comfortably supports approximately 30 cow/calf pairs while offering abundant grazing for horses across the remaining native grass acreage. Existing improvements include a 41' x 60' hay storage building, 30' x 52' Quonset, multiple utility buildings, chicken coop, and silo, with ample room within the separate 40-acre building envelope to expand equestrian facilities such as a custom barn, indoor arena, outdoor arena, or guest quarters. The beautifully remodeled residence showcases exceptional Amish craftsmanship with Marvin windows, Hardie Board siding, custom Milarc cabinetry, hardwood floors, quartz countertops, premium appliances, and a luxurious primary suite. An expansive TimberTech deck overlooks the ranch's abundant wildlife, while the walkout lower level provides additional guest accommodations and entertaining space. Beyond its equestrian appeal, Left Hand Ranch is rich in Colorado history, featuring ancient teepee rings, a Cold War-era bunker, neighboring preserved dinosaur tracks, and the discovery site of the largest ancient bison found in the western United States. Trophy elk, mule deer, antelope, black bear, bobcat, mountain lion, and coyote make the ranch equally attractive as a private hunting retreat or wildlife sanctuary. Protected by a conservation easement covering approximately 175 acres, the ranch preserves its natural beauty while allowing all improvements within a separate 40-acre building envelope outside the easement. With opportunities for an equestrian operation, horse boarding, clinics, retreats, hunting leases, or luxury vacation rental, Left Hand Ranch represents an exceptional combination of lifestyle, productivity, and investment. An exceptional equestrian property with room to build the horse facilities of your dreams.
