A timeless classic situated in a historically unique landscape, this local landmark in the foothills boasts magnificent views, abundant granite and natural water sources. The Villa & Arena currently offer an event center or use as world class equestrian ranch. 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 and was completed in 2009, with the entire residence built out of full-thickness granite handpicked on the property. This Italian-inspired work of art is composed of 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. The Villa & Indoor arena sits on an expansive 103 acres. 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 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 of the main gourmet kitchen is an auxiliary kitchen that leads to separate living quarters. Multiple entertaining and living spaces have radiant in-floor heating for optimal comfort. The arena and stables with commercial bathrooms, 4 garage bays, 1 tack room, and a 3/4 bath are 10,016 sq ft. The land has 2 loafing sheds, a Gazebo, a round pen with a fire pit, 3 pastures with split rail fencing, a parking area for 86 cars, and ADA parking spots.
