Description

Stove Prairie Ranch & The Villa ~ A Legacy Estate on 155 Pristine Acres is nestled in one of Northern Colorado's most scenic and historic valleys, Stove Prairie Ranch is a rare convergence of heritage, nature, and luxury. A 10,422 sq ft Villa, Indoor Arena / Event Center, the Ranch House, Cottage, 12 stall Lower Barn, Equipment building, historic Root Cellar, 7 loafing sheds, and several wood split 3 rail fenced pastures. 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 handpicked full-thickness granite and concrete block, the walls are 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.
