Lot Description

Situated in the heart of Grand County with panoramic Rocky Mountain views in nearly every direction, this exceptional 15 deeded acre property offers a rare combination of privacy and lifestyle that is difficult to replicate. With a meticulously crafted custom home, a fully equipped working barn, and a custom tiny house, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Colorado mountain sanctuary.

Land

Located approximately six miles from the town of Granby, the property achieves a quiet, private lifestyle while remaining squarely within reach of everything Grand County has to offer. The surrounding landscape delivers sweeping mountain views, and wildlife sightings are common - moose, elk, deer, fox, and more are frequent visitors.

Improvements

The custom 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath main home demonstrates a rare attention to detail and thoughtful, timeless design. Passive solar architecture with large south facing windows and a concrete lower level floor works in harmony with radiant heat throughout the home, keeping energy costs remarkably low year round. The great room features two three panel sliding glass doors that fold away entirely, merging the interior with the main patio and making this an entertainer's dream in any season. A catalytic wood burning stove anchors the living space, while the kitchen is outfitted with top of the line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, complemented by a butler's pantry with a full size freezer and generous storage. The primary suite rounds out the home with a gas fireplace, walk in closet, soaking tub, and walk in shower.

The property's additional structures are equally well considered. A fully functional barn with tack room accommodates horses or livestock, stores up to 160 bales of hay and two cords of firewood, and connects to a round pen and fully fenced pasture. The purpose-built 40 12 Land Ark tiny house offers a primary bedroom large enough for a full king sized bed, loft for storage or sleeping area, a full bath, full size oven, propane cooktop, on-demand hot water, propane fireplace, and stacked washer/dryer a fully self sufficient residence in its own right.

Recreation

Grand County is Colorado's outdoor recreation epicenter, and this property sits squarely at the center of it. Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Lake, and the Fraser/Winter Park corridor are each within a 30 minute drive. Four private access points via the Shadow Mountain HOA provide convenient entry to the surrounding public lands. Additionally, and perhaps the most singular benefit is what sits directly across the road by agreement, owners enjoy access to the amenities of the C Lazy U Ranch. World class horseback riding, gourmet dining, a full service spa, Orvis endorsed fly fishing, trap shooting, and winter recreation across 8,500 pristine acres. It is a privilege that simply cannot be purchased elsewhere.

General Operations

Equipped for full time living or as a recreational base, this is the rare property that asks nothing of its next owner but to move in and enjoy it. Opportunities like this rarely come to market in Grand County, and this one offers its next owners a turn key option to live and recreate in the great Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Region & Climate

Granby sits at roughly 8,000 feet in the heart of Colorado's high country, and its climate reflects that elevation. Summers are warm and dry, with daytime highs typically in the mid 70s and the kind of low humidity that makes for comfortable afternoons outdoors. Winters are cold and snowy, with highs near the freezing mark and lows that regularly drop well below zero. Snowfall is substantial, often exceeding 100 inches a year, and the region holds a reliable base from late fall through spring. Clear skies are common, particularly in summer, when sunshine prevails most days of the week. This is a four season climate in the truest sense, offering warm weather recreation in the summer months and dependable winter conditions for skiing, snowshoeing, and other cold weather pursuits.

Location

The property sits in Middle Park, a high mountain basin in north-central Colorado. It sits along the Co-125 corridor directly across from the C Lazy U Ranch, approximately six miles north of the town of Granby. The setting is quiet and rural, surrounded by ranch land and public forest, yet it remains within easy reach of services, recreation, and travel connections.

Granby is the nearest town and the primary hub for everyday needs, offering grocery stores, dining, fuel, medical services, and shopping roughly fifteen minutes south. The historic lakeside town of Grand Lake lies to the north and serves as the western gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, while the Fraser and Winter Park communities to the south provide additional dining, retail, and year-round resort amenities. Each of these is within a short drive, placing a full range of mountain town conveniences close at hand.

For air travel, the property is served at several levels. The Granby Airport, also known as Emily Warner Field, sits just a few miles away atop the Granby Mesa and accommodates private aircraft, with self-service fuel and a plowed winter runway. For commercial and international service, Denver International Airport is approximately two hours away by car, making the property highly accessible for out of state and second home owners. Eagle County Regional Airport near Vail and Yampa Valley Regional Airport near Steamboat Springs offer additional regional options, each within a few hours' drive.

The location strikes a rare balance. It offers genuine seclusion and immediate access to public land and outdoor recreation, while keeping a major international airport, a regional commercial airport, and a private airstrip all within practical reach. Ideal for a buyer seeking a Colorado mountain property that is both private and well connected.
