Little Thompson Estate

67.5 +/- acres along the Little Thompson River featuring a beautifully remodeled historic farmhouse, mature trees, open pastures, ponds, and extensive agricultural improvements. With the river running directly through the property, established barns, covered stalls, livestock runs, corrals, and fenced pastures make this a truly unique Northern Colorado property.

Land

The 67.5 +/- acres feature gently rolling topography with a mix of open pasture, mature trees, and river bottom. The Little Thompson River winds through the property, adding an entirely different dimension to the land. Mature vegetation follows the river corridor, creating a scenic and private setting while providing natural habitat for wildlife. Having your own stretch of the Little Thompson River is a rare amenity, particularly this close to Berthoud, Loveland, and the growing Northern Colorado Front Range.
Several ponds are located throughout the property, adding to the landscape and providing additional water sources for livestock and wildlife. The acreage is fully fenced and cross-fenced into multiple pastures, allowing for efficient livestock and horse management. The combination of flowing river, ponds, mature trees, productive pasture, and varied terrain gives the property a character that is increasingly difficult to replicate in this area.
The property is part of a conservation development, protecting the acreage from future subdivision or additional development.

Improvements

Originally built in the 1890s, the farmhouse combines its historic character with extensive modern updates and is in excellent condition. The home was substantially rebuilt in 1948 and has since undergone significant remodeling and improvements, including new electrical and plumbing systems. The result is a well-maintained and updated home that retains the character of the original farmhouse while offering the comfort and functionality expected today.
The two-story home offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with a large open kitchen and dining area, multiple living spaces, and comfortable gathering areas throughout. The primary bedroom features a spacious five-piece bathroom. A large patio extends from the kitchen and dining area toward the oversized detached garage, creating an excellent outdoor entertaining space.
The agricultural improvements are extensive and make the property particularly well suited for horses and livestock. Improvements include a 25′ x 90′ insulated livestock barn with covered stalls and adjoining livestock runs, a 40′ x 40′ insulated Quonset, a 40′ x 50′ shop/barn, and several lean-to shelters with livestock runs. Additional corrals, pens, storage areas, and supporting improvements provide ample space for animals, equipment, feed, tack, and general property maintenance.

Agriculture

This property is exceptionally well equipped as a horse property, with much of the infrastructure already in place for an established equestrian or livestock operation. The 25′ x 90′ livestock barn, covered stalls, livestock runs, multiple lean-to shelters, corrals, pens, and fully fenced and cross-fenced pastures provide a highly functional setup for managing horses and other livestock.
The established layout provides dedicated areas for shelter, turnout, feeding, equipment, and pasture management. Combined with 67.5 +/- acres, ponds, open pasture, and the Little Thompson River running through the property, the improvements create an outstanding setup for horses, livestock, 4-H projects, or a combination of agricultural uses.

Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources

The home is supplied by a tap through the Little Thompson Water District. The property also includes 4 shares of Ish Reservoir water rights.

Region & Climate

Located in the heart of Northern Colorado’s Front Range, the Berthoud area offers a blend of agricultural land, open space, and easy access to growing communities along the I-25 corridor. The region is known for its four distinct seasons, with warm, generally dry summers, cool evenings, and cold winters with periodic snowfall. The nearby foothills provide a scenic western backdrop, while the area’s relatively mild climate and long growing season have supported agriculture and ranching for generations.
