It's the perfect space to live in while you plan and build your dream home-or to host guests once your new vision is realized. For those with animals, the land is fully fenced and well-outfitted with eight large paddocks, a tack room, hay storage, and two lean-tos-ideal for horses, alpacas, goats, or other livestock. With no HOA restrictions and ample space to add barns, workshops, or outbuildings, this property offers unlimited potential-all in a location that feels worlds away yet is just a short drive to everything Fort Collins has to offer. A truly private slice of paradise-come see what life can look like when you have it all.
