Bar D Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a truly unique, multi-generational ranch in the foothills of northern Colorado. With paved year-round access, it sits just 15 miles to the west of both Loveland and Ft Collins in Larimer County, offering both solitude and accessibility. Spanning 467 +/- acres, the ranch encompasses a diverse terrain ranging from mild hillside meadows to mountainous ravines and borders the National Forest on two sides. This public land border gives expansive access to thousands of acres of public land, enhancing your recreational opportunities. Improvements on the ranch include a well-maintained 2568 sf home, a 1152 sf shop with covered RV parking, and a historic 3600 barn/mill building. Historically, the ranch has supported and benefited from cattle grazing operations. More recently, grazing has been kept to a minimum, leaving more natural habitat in ideal condition to promote and support wildlife. Frequent visitors to the ranch include elk, mule deer, moose, and turkeys, along with bears, mountain lions, coyotes, and bobcats. The ranch is situated in the highly coveted GMU 20, well known by hunters as one of Colorado's elite elk hunting units. In addition to trophy-caliber bulls, the unit is also known for a healthy population of mule deer. Bar D Ranch offers a solid base for serious hunters seeking a private foothold in one of Colorado's premier big game units. Whether you're seeking a premier hunting retreat, a year-round ranch residence, or just a sound land investment, the Bar D Ranch offers an unmatched opportunity to embrace the many facets of the Colorado mountain lifestyle. Its location, just 15 miles from Loveland and Ft Collins, 30 miles from Estes Park, and 70 miles from DIA, offers a highly desirable combination of convenience and private seclusion.
