Property description

Willowrun -- a Rocky Mountain riverside campus in south-central Colorado. With the addition of a shelter/barn and coral it will be perfect for your horses. 14 acres of pasture run along 1,000 foot of riverfront gives horses a great home… and there’s a great homestead for you too. Overview here, but get ALL the pics and info in the WEBSITE LINKED BELOW..

Two modern stand-alone cabins sit on this 39.7 acres that include a 2-car+ garage, 500 sq. ft. geodesic dome greenhouse, river gazebo, tool/tack shed and 50-ft. AV bridge — all on city water. The 14 acres of pasture are fenced with wire.

Each maintenance-free cabin has a bedroom, sitting room, bathroom, and kitchen making it perfect for two couples, a home/office, or vacation rental. All the structures are stucco with metal roof and soffit. Surrounding the cabins and dome greenhouse are two maintenance-free Trex decks, flagstone patios/paths, xeritscape gardens, and a 1,600 sq. ft. fenced yard for pets. The near 40-acres offer endless potential for adding a barn/stable for your horse(s). You can design and build them to meet your precise specifications.

Trinidad city water that serves the campus is a rarity that set this property apart of all others. Also, high-speed internet supports remote work, web-based businesses, and streaming TV.

The stucco buildings are heavily insulated with double/triple-glazed windows that make them extremely economical. Thanks to electro-thermal storage (ETS) heating, the TOTAL utility bill averages $178 per month.

Horse owners love the outdoors and Willowrun offers three state parks and four lakes within a hours drive. It is less than fifty minutes from historic Trinidad, with its turn-of-the century downtown, galleries, cafes, live theater, and summer festivals. If art is your passion or hobby note that Trinidad is one of Colorado's Creative Districts funded to support art and artists of all kinds.

Something that surprises people is the high quality of the schools here. Primero School has 220 students Pre-K through 12 and a student-teacher ratio of 10 to 1. There’s also a vibrant homeschooling community too.

Over 100 photos and complete description of WIllowrun’s amenities can be seen on the Willowrun website.
