Executive Summary

Nestled up on the bench that overlooks the community of Highwood, this 20 acre ranch epitomizes the ideal peacefulness that people often only dream about. A 4,984 square foot home faces the Highwood Mountains offering panoramic views of the foothills below climbing toward the snow crested top of the highest mountain known as Baldy. The property consists of several outbuildings and endless possibilities for someone looking for agricultural or grazing land. The huge picture window in the back of the home captures the sun kissed mountainous landscape, and the matching window in the front frames in the blazing sunsets glowing against the golden wheat fields in the evening. Under the summer harvest sun, the wheat fields smell like baking bread. The property is well suited for horses or livestock with gated corrals and fenced pastures with cross fencing for grazing rotations.

In addition, there is a barn with stalls and space for hay storage, a loafing shed and a 4,000 square foot shop with power and sturdy steel framing. Looking to make some extra income? Two 9,000 bushel grain bins with power have been leased out for storage to local farmers. The smooth grassland offers space for grazing or riding. Lease it out as well! This stunning 6 bedroom home has 3 bathrooms with space to customize or add your own flair. Enjoy the clean aroma of new carpeting and fresh paint, a few of the updates that have been completed. The daylight basement features a private entrance providing an opportunity for a mother-in-law suite. The spacious deck allows for a plethora of patio furniture to lounge on while watching the frequently seen wildlife wander by, the mountains as your backdrop. A designated area is available for a hot tub with the appropriate 220W power hookup. Soak while gazing at the infinite sparkling stars under a never-ending sky, something you’d never see from the city! The home is adorned with embellishments such as a Blaze King wood stove, a humidifier in the newly replaced HVAC system, underground sprinklers, and a 30’x30’ garden plot! The area sees an abundance of wildlife that includes pheasants, sharp-tail grouse, sandhill cranes, geese, bald and golden eagles, white-tailed and mule deer and antelope.
