Rooms with a view
Today’s Colorado house hunt was up in the Horsetooth foothills. We had time in March to look at a few homes in the area and we thought that the views from these homes were fabulous.
Newer mountain home on 1.43 acres - 360 degree views of Horsetooth reservoir, mountain park and city lights. This meticulous home is on one of the best lots at Horsetooth! Just 15 mins from town, enjoy all modern conveniences in the foothills! Features include tile floors & countertops, wood floors in kitchen, stainless steel appliances, A/C, 2x6 construction and energy efficiency. The master has a private deck with huge views. Quiet neighborhood, lots of stars, great quality of life!
This house, built 2005, was up near the top of the foothills. The back deck had breathtaking views of the hills and reservoir. It had a strange 1.5 acre triangular lot and modern kitchen. The roads leading to the house were loose gravel, very narrow and full of tight turns. With no lights at night, coming home form town in the evening would be tough. We ain't in Illinois anymore!
This view from the deck shows part of the Horsetooth reservoir and a portion of loose stone material on the next lot adjacent to the house. It was possible that some contractor is planning on building another house on this spot, which would cut off at least 20% of the view from the deck.
Extensively Remodeled & Meticulously maint. w/ Breathtaking Views! Shows like a New Home, with attention to every detail! Upgraded Kitchen Appliances, New Picture windows in every room!, Top of the Line Washer Dryer and Water heater,New Front Trex-Deck & HUGE 288 Sq ft covered deck. Artful Landscaping, in harmony w/ natural surroundings-teeming with wildlife! Backs to Amazing Open Space Bonus room provides potential for a third bedroom, 144 sq ft Workshop/Outbuilding! All on a 10424 sq ft lot!
It came with free beer! While there were neat views from either side of this house, we especially loved the red rocks in the upper hills. The area was located on less hazardous road which made our Prius happy. You could drink beer! What we didn’t like about this place was that it did not have a garage for the Prius. The guy who lived here had all sorts of beer related items and Beer.
This is an older house with all sorts of weird in just about every corner! It had this awful green shag rug that smelled with a bit of pet odor. BUT it was a low price and it had this wonderful plant room with waterfalls and Greek statues and stone walkways. In the basement, there was a secret panel behind a bookcase that opened into another room that revealed even more weird stuff! We loved it!
This is just one view from the back yard. Behind the fence is a horse corral. Of all the Horsetooth area homes, this was the closest into town! It was only 5 minutes from the center of Fort Collins, yet you could walk to the lake from the back door. We think we might make an offer on this property!
