Bar D Ranch is an extraordinary 467+/- acre mountain property in Larimer County, Colorado, located less than 20 miles from Fort Collins and Loveland, offering year-round paved access and unparalleled recreational opportunities. This rare holding borders thousands of acres of National Forest and lies within the highly coveted GMU 20, renowned for producing trophy bull elk and excellent mule deer hunting, with moose, bear, bobcats, mountain lions, turkeys, and abundant small game also frequenting the area.

Improvements include a well-kept two-story home with 2,568 finished sf and a partially finished basement, a 1,152 sf shop with covered RV parking, and a nostalgic 3,600 sf barn/mill building, reflecting the property's historic use as a cattle ranch with minimal recent livestock impact. Bar D Ranch offers the perfect combination of seclusion and convenience, with Loveland and Fort Collins under 30 minutes away, Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park just 45 minutes away, and Denver International Airport within a 90-minute drive. The ranch presents endless recreational possibilities, including big and small game hunting, predator and varmint hunting, turkey hunting, equestrian activities, ATV and off-road adventures, and hiking through wooded draws and along a stream corridor.
