The 434 +/- acre Howbert Hill Ranch offers unmatched year-round recreational opportunities for a ranch of its size. The ranch lies within two hours of Colorado’s two most populous cities- Denver and Colorado Springs. Despite its proximity to urban conveniences, the ranch is contiguous to larger ranches with minimal vertical development and a contiguous border if United States National Forest allowing it possesses a true sense of privacy and relatively undisturbed panoramic views. Sited on a Ponderosa Pine flanked ridge is the well-appointed 7,500+/- square foot custom mountain home complete with log and river rock accents. The home features a clay tile roof and two wrap-around patios totaling 3,500+/- SF of outdoor space. There is an attached, oversized three car garage as well as a detached garage/shop currently utilized for woodworking and golf simulation. Featuring four bedrooms, six bathrooms, two offices, a fitness room, a media room and saltwater pool, there are ample amenities for family members of all ages. Mere minutes from the ranch doorstep one can enjoy the nearly 100,000 acre-foot Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir, home to world-class fishing as well as boating, sailing, kayaking, and paddle-boarding. Also nearby are several Gold-Medal designated reaches of the South Platte River including the “Dream Stream” and Eleven Mile Canyon for angling pursuits. Along its southern perimeter, Howbert Hill Ranch boasts over 1.6 miles of direct boundary with the Pike National Forest; this amount of public boundary is quite significant for a ranch of such acreage and affords immediate access into over 1,000,000 acres of nearby public lands. Pike National Forest offers 12-month recreational opportunities including excellent elk and mule deer hunting, horseback riding, hiking, camping, ATV/UTV-ing and beyond. A portion of the ranch is taxed agriculturally, allowing the owner to receive hunting tags on a preferential basis through the Landowner Preference Program.
