Bear Mountain Ranch

Bear Mountain Ranch is a rare chance to own true pasture land in the Colorado foothills, the kind of property that rarely comes to market. Spanning 14± acres across two legally independent 7± acre parcels, each with its own permitted and drilled water well, this is a property built for people who want to fully escape into nature without giving up a single creature comfort.

At the heart of the ranch sits a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home featuring en suite bathrooms, one for every bedroom, including an oversized primary suite upstairs with an exceptional walk-in closet. Fully renovated in 2024 with thoughtful updates throughout include designer fixtures, durable hard-surface flooring, and skylights that pours natural light into the kitchen. Living spaces are spread throughout both the upstairs and lower level of the home. Stepping outside, upper and lower decks designed for entertaining and a hot tub on the lower level for unwinding under the stars. A garage EV charger rounds out the modern conveniences.

Bear Mountain Ranch features every amenity you need to have horses just outside your window, rotating them between four separately fenced pastures (one with its own pond), working them in the newly built round pen, and storing winter hay in a dedicated hay barn. A small additional barn with a stall offers flexible use for foaling, veterinary needs, or tack and grain storage, and a greenhouse provides room for supplemental supply storage or a future growing space. The land itself invites you to live alongside your horses or other hobby livestock in quiet, immersive beauty, with a sloped wooded section rounding out the acreage for added privacy and wildlife habitat. Fox, deer, elk, and wild turkeys aren’t a surprise-and-delight here; they’re an expected visitor of the ranch.

Because the property is two legally independent parcels, each with its own water well and easement, the possibilities are unusually flexible: you could occupy the renovated home while designing and constructing a dream home on the adjacent parcel, enjoy the full 14± acres as your private ranch with the second parcel’s standalone value built in for future use or resale, or keep horses across the ranch’s expansive pastures and live alongside them in a setting this close to Denver that is challenging to replicate.
