2665 Ellis Ranch Lane

An exquisite front range masterpiece at the base of the canyon leading to Rocky Mountain National Park. Remote wilderness living, modern rustic architecture and easy access to town. The open floor plan is efficient, and thoughtfully designed with large picture windows which bring the natural world in. The 2,741 sf. main house is paired with a 684 sf. studio, offering flexibility for extended family or guests. The studio is kitchen-ready with washer/dryer hookups, and ripping fast fiber internet for the ideal work from home situation. A spacious 3-car garage and paved driveway provide ample parking and easy access. Near the entrance of the Big Thompson canyon leading to RMNP, the 4.09 acre property backs up perpetual open space, offering sweeping views of the hogbacks, including Horsetooth Rock. Outdoor amenities include a 200 sf. passive solar greenhouse, chicken coop, three covered porches, and epic sledding hills for winter recreation. Inside, the 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath property (with plans for an additional bedroom) is designed with a modern vintage aesthetic and locally sourced architectural stonework. Solid oak wood floors, a wood-burning stove, and energy-efficient systems-including instant water heaters and low utility costs-enhance comfort and function. Secret built-in nooks, in-home audio system, central vacuum, security cameras, and a low-maintenance metal roof with snow guards. The location balances privacy and access: just minutes from five major trailheads, 3 minutes from Big Thompson Elementary, and 10 minutes from Safeway. With mountain fresh well water (flowing at 65 gallons per minute), a septic system, and an HOA-maintained road ($300/year), this home blends self-sufficiency with community. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent visits from hummingbirds, deer, and elk, and bald eagles. A wooden bridge crosses the seasonal creek to access the neighborhood below, where cyclists gleefully toil and wild apple trees produce a bounty of flavorful bites.
