Stove Prairie Ranch & The Villa ~ A Legacy Estate on 52 Pristine Acres. Nestled in one of Northern Colorado's most scenic and historic valleys (Additional 103 acres and options available. These options include: Arena, Cottage, Ranch house, 12 stall barn, and additional structures). Stove Prairie Ranch is a rare convergence of heritage, nature, and luxury. Once sacred Ute land and a passage for westward explorers and the Pony Express, this estate's story began in 1828 near Laporte - the historic *door* to the Rockies. Located at the junction of Rist, Buckhorn, and Poudre Canyons, it offers both seclusion and accessibility. Founded in 1896, the ranch welcomed its first homestead and schoolhouse-still Colorado's oldest in operation. For over a century, it thrived through cattle and timber. In 1990, it was reimagined into a world-class equestrian estate and premier destination venue for weddings, retreats, and events. At its heart lies The Villa, a 2007 Italian-inspired masterpiece set beside a spring-fed pond and granite outcroppings. Built with hand-picked granite and full-thickness concrete block, its walls exceed two feet in depth-offering durability and timeless elegance. Inside, curated European artifacts include a 2,000-year-old Roman mosaic anchoring the grand foyer. The Villa features soaring 14-ft ceilings, expansive windows, dual elevators, and radiant in-floor heating. The master suite includes dual baths, walk-in closets, and private elevator access. A 32-ft indoor saltwater pool and wellness lounge offer serene mountain views. Guest quarters include a full kitchen, private living room, and balcony. Additional highlights: a formal dining room with wine service access, gourmet and prep kitchens, a third-floor atelier bathed in natural light, and a library with a ceiling of 30 original paintings. Fireplaces are crafted from raw cut coral. Inquire to experience this extraordinary legacy estate.
