A Professional Equestrian Facility or a Family Hobby Farm. An Exceptional Place to Live. Six miles up Rist Canyon on year-round paved roads, this 16-acre property strikes a rare balance - a fully equipped, turnkey horse operation within easy reach of Fort Collins, CSU, and the Front Range's major equine event circuit. The school bus stops at the bottom of the driveway! The equestrian infrastructure here is purpose-built and well-maintained. The barn anchors the facility with a 156x59 indoor arena featuring fresh footing installed in 2023, 6 stalls, four heated automatic waterers, concrete aisles, a double wash rack with hot and cold water, a dedicated veterinarian area that could also be used as a workshop, and two tack rooms - one heated. The oversized 91x280 outdoor arena received the same footing upgrade in 2023. Five pastures, two paddocks, and a 30x17 loafing shed with two additional stalls provide ample, well-organized turnout. A trailer-friendly driveway with full turnaround access completes a facility designed with the working equestrian in mind. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath home with a fully finished walk-out lower level is equally well-appointed. Hickory hardwood floors, vaulted beam ceilings, a brick fireplace, and a fully renovated kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances reflect a property that has been cared for with intention. The surrounding landscape - open meadows, mature pines and aspens, a seasonal pond - adds a quiet beauty that complements the functionality of the operation. Well water, septic, propane utilities, and no HOA or covenants. For added peace of mind, the Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department is adjacent to the property. Zoned O, offering the operational flexibility serious equestrians require. Properties combining this caliber of facility, this quality of living, and this level of accessibility are genuinely uncommon on the Front Range.
