Property Overview — 35 Acres, Three Residences, Private Lake

Two main residences with a separate caretaker's apartment, a 6,000 sq ft equestrian barn and 35.52 acres on a private trout-stocked lake, inside the gated Hidden Valley Ranch — held by one family since it was built and never before offered to the open market.

Two main residences with a caretaker's apartment, and a 6,000 sq ft equestrian barn. It was built in 2004 as a multi-generational family compound and has been held by that family since. This is its first offering on the open market.

Each section below links to a page that goes deeper — the gated community, the private lake, the water rights, the barn and equestrian facilities, the residences, the amenities, the land and the workshop and fuel island.

Hidden Valley Lake is 55 acres of purpose-built habitat at the centre of the ranch, fed by clear mountain water and reserved for the 35 owners and their guests. It is stocked and managed as a fishery — trout and largemouth bass — and designed as much for wildlife and waterfowl as for fishing. This property sits on it, with water frontage and lake views from the main house and the guest residence.

The property has its own private dock, which stays in year-round, plus access to the ranch's shared boat docks — which have electricity.

Water here is held by the Hidden Valley Ranch association rather than by any individual parcel, through 2.08 shares of the Four Mile Ditch Association. Colorado allocates water by prior appropriation — first in time, first in right — and the Four Mile Ditch priorities run back to 1890, which places them among the senior rights on the drainage. In a dry year, senior rights are the ones that still deliver while junior rights get curtailed.

About Hidden Valley Ranch

Private, climate-controlled indoor pickleball courts — a Hidden Valley Ranch common-area facility shared by the 35 owners, and playable in January, which is the entire point of building them indoors at this elevation.

A 25' x 15' theater room inside the barn — an unusual and very well-judged place to put one.

Inside the houses: a wine room, an infrared sauna, a 600 sq ft primary spa bath with a double jetted soaking tub facing the mountains, fitness rooms in both principal residences and a lower-level media room in the second.
