Welcome to The Giving Tree Ranch—a truly exceptional riverfront estate nestled on over 20 acres along the Blue River. Offering 500 feet of private river frontage, valuable water rights, and sweeping mountain views, this property blends rustic elegance with natural beauty in a serene, ranch-style setting. Crafted with extraordinary detail, the hand-built log home showcases rich craftsmanship with exposed log beams, vaulted ceilings, and custom finishes throughout. Large windows frame breathtaking views of the river and surrounding peaks, seamlessly bringing the outdoors in. The main level includes four spacious ensuite bedrooms, a private office, cozy den, and a great room featuring soaring ceilings and dual wood-burning fireplaces. The open-concept kitchen and dining area are designed for gatherings both large and small. Upstairs, two expansive bunkrooms—each with 8 beds, lofts, and walk-in closets—comfortably accommodate up to 24 guests, making it the perfect retreat for family, friends, or group getaways. Outside, enjoy a variety of outdoor living spaces, including an east-facing front porch ideal for morning coffee and mountain sunrises, and a generous back patio with a built-in fire pit and dining area—perfect for unwinding to the sound of the river. Additional features include two oversized 3-car garages, a workshop, heated garage floors, and heated driveway slabs—providing both convenience and comfort year-round. Zoned for agriculture and offering direct access to fly fishing on your own land, The Giving Tree Ranch is a rare Colorado sanctuary—ideal for those seeking peace, privacy, and a deep connection with nature.
