The Villa on 52 acres, including a beautiful spring-fed pond. A timeless classic in a historically unique landscape, this local landmark in the foothills boasts magnificent views, abundant granite, and natural water sources. The location provides easy access to Fort Collins, Loveland, and the Poudre Canyon. This landscape is also full of history as a significant past residential site for the Ute Indians, early pioneers, and the Pony Express. Construction on The Villa began in 2007, with the entire residence built out of full-thickness granite handpicked on the property. This Italian-inspired work of art comprises various artifacts, some dating back 2,000 years. Maintaining an affinity for the arts, the structure includes a third-floor art room with ample natural light and picturesque views. It honors the traditional villas of the Renaissance, and its connection with nature is evident in all the windows framing the surrounding landscape. It is luxury at its finest, blending art and function with two elevators, 14-foot-tall arched ceilings, and German wood-framed windows that swing open and tilt with dual hinges. A 32-foot-long indoor saltwater pool and lounge area offer spaces to relax and recharge, while the private office and library with a wet bar inspire creativity and productivity. A formal dining room invites guests to stay awhile, with a separate serving entrance from the kitchen through the bottle room. Off the main gourmet kitchen is an auxiliary kitchen that leads to separate living quarters. Multiple entertainment and living spaces have radiant in-floor heating for optimal comfort.Additional acreage and indoor arena available: ask about other options!
