12525 County Road R.5, Sanford, CO 81151
The property combines 282 acres of productive agricultural land, livestock infrastructure, water resources, and a 3,850 square foot, four bedroom, four bathroom custom residence, creating a balanced offering for buyers seeking a working ranch, equestrian property, livestock operation, or rural lifestyle retreat.
The home includes four bedrooms, including two ensuite bedrooms, and four bathrooms. The master bedroom is on the West end of the home while the other ensuite and bedrooms are on the east end of the home. The custom kitchen offers hickory cabinetry, tile countertops, high-end appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. Living spaces include a formal dining room, television and sitting room, office, combination laundry, mud and storage room and an expansive great room highlighted by a cathedral tongue-and-groove ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace.
Arched walkways and custom finishes add character throughout the residence. Multiple decks provide outdoor living space and take advantage of the property’s exceptional views. From the ranch, 11 of Colorado’s fourteen-thousand-foot peaks can reportedly be seen, with Mount Blanca and Culebra Peak serving as prominent landmarks on the horizon along with a 360-degree view of snow-covered mountains.
Supporting improvements include a large attached three-car garage with storage shelves built in, large greenhouse and garden area, gazebo, and two 250-gallon propane storage tanks. Agricultural and equestrian infrastructure includes a Cleary shop building with a walk-through tack room with entrance and exit doors for the horses, arena and round pen, three-stall metal horse barn, chicken coop, reinforced livestock fencing, corrals, and working facilities originally designed for bison production and well suited for cattle operations.
