Every now and then a rare and exciting property comes on the market. We sometimes wait years for the right combination of location, land, style, features and quality. The 2nd Chance Ranch is a superior example of harmony between home, equestrian center, and the land it sits upon.
LOCATION
The Second Chance Ranch encompasses 15 acres of well cared for, park-like land within 15 minutes of most local amenities, 45 minutes to Denver, 20 minutes to Evergreen and 60 minutes to Denver International Airport (DIA). The gentle, lodgepole fenced acreage offers expansive space for horse or other recreation activities.
IMPROVEMENTS
Primary Residence
Access to the main home is thru a very imposing log and natural stone entryway. The interior of the home makes good use of structural logs for support, and beams in the ceilings throughout, and natural stone for fireplaces and structural support.
Every indoor or outdoor space, deck or patio feels like a retreat, a place to unwind and relax. Layers of natural and man-made landscaping combined with the bubbling water feature contribute to the relaxing feeling of this trophy property. There are 1,570 square feet of covered outdoor living areas plus 1,131 square feet of decks and patios.
The main living area shares an open space with the kitchen and informal dining room. The stonework, hand scraped wide plank floors, log support beams and antique doors layer in subtle nods to the rustic surroundings.
The rich tones and bright accent colors make a strong statement all while creating a comfortable environment.
The kitchen is highly functional, with the finest quality appliances, and is a welcoming place to gather.
The formal dining room is a space to enjoy fine food and conversation and flows easily to the living room warmed by a stone fireplace.
The primary suite was designed as a retreat with a private deck to enjoy the sound of flowing water and mountain views. The primary bath is an extension of that retreat and offers his and her spaces and a walk-in closet.
The unsurpassed quality, design and character make this a true one-of-a- kind ranch property.
Guest House
The two-bedroom, 1,636 square foot guest house is layered with design details encouraging functionality and reflects the understated elegance of the main house. It has a three-car garage.
A third 4,514 square foot house on 35 acres, has been divided into multiple units currently used for employee housing. It has a newer three-car garage with a spacious second floor storage or meeting room.
