The Lake at Big Thompson is a once-in-a-lifetime private waterfront estate in Johnstown, Colorado, delivering luxury living, resort-style recreation, and multiple income streams all in one spectacular package. At its heart is a private 28-plus acre lake with Big Thompson River frontage and a destination-quality fishery producing trophy walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, crappie, catfish, and Colorado state record winning sunfish and bluegill. Built in 2024, the luxury residence stuns with premium finishes including Wolf appliances, a commercial grade double Sub-Zero refrigerator, jaw dropping granite countertops, vaulted beamed ceilings, multiple steam showers, and a double jetted soaking tub with built-in TV, all opening to an expansive covered deck overlooking the water. The walk-out basement is perfect for entertaining featuring a wet bar, gym/flex room, golf and hunt simulator, and an extra bedroom and guest bathroom along with a walk-in secured vault room. A separate guest house adds flexible accommodations for family, friends, or clients. Exceptional waterfowl hunting adds significant income opportunity with two hunting blinds, including "The Train Station" complete with power, TV, and kitchen area. Outdoor living is unmatched, featuring a private sandy beach, sand volleyball court, and endless water recreation from boating and water skiing to paddle boarding and more. Outbuildings include a greenhouse, chicken coop, two detached shops, and a stainless-steel fish and game cleaning station, while a new high-capacity well completed in 2026 supports future expansion. Site plans and blueprints for a larger lodge, event venue, and lakeside boathouse unlock even more income potential. This gated waterfront estate sits minutes from Interstate 25 with easy access to Fort Collins and Denver. The Lake at Big Thompson is truly a once in a lifetime, can't-miss opportunity!
