Situated on 7.67 acres with sweeping views of Ute Mountain, this unique property blends historic farmhouse charm with modern agricultural innovation, offering a lifestyle rooted in self-sufficiency, productivity, and Colorado country living. Originally built in 1904 and thoughtfully remodeled in 2007, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath farmhouse combines timeless finishes with comfortable functionality. The spacious kitchen is designed for gathering and productivity alike, featuring granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and generous prep space for everything from everyday meals to processing farm-fresh harvests. A wraparound covered porch invites you to slow down and enjoy peaceful mornings, breathtaking sunsets, and the surrounding mountain views. Upstairs, all four bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, including a spacious primary suite with a large closet and private ensuite bath. The home offers the warmth and character of a classic farmhouse while providing the updates and conveniences desired for modern living. What truly sets this property apart is the fully integrated aquaponics and greenhouse operation already in place. Previously used for commercial vegetable production, the infrastructure offers exceptional potential for income generation, specialty crop production, farm-to-table ventures, educational workshops, or expanding into a thriving sustainable agriculture business. The operation includes two impressive 60x120-foot greenhouses designed for vegetable production. Supporting the entire system is a 30x50-foot fish house that serves as the eco-friendly hub of the recirculating aquaponics operation. This carefully designed setup uses highly efficient water filtration technology that reduces waste, conserves resources, and naturally fertilizes crops through the aquaponic process—creating a smart, sustainable system built for long-term productivity. With one share of irrigation water, established infrastructure, and a setup designed with both efficiency and sustainability in mind, this property offers endless possibilities for entrepreneurs, hobby farmers, homesteaders, or anyone seeking a lifestyle connected to the land. Whether your dream is producing fresh organic vegetables year-round, supplying local markets and restaurants, creating a self-sustaining homestead, or simply enjoying peaceful country living with room to grow, this extraordinary property is ready to bring your vision to life.
