DIA Bark Away – Premier 39-Acre Dog Boarding, Grooming & Equestrian Estate near Denver International Airport. Welcome to 1335 South Kio Street in Watkins, CO, a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a fully operational pet care and equestrian property just minutes from DIA. This 39-acre estate blends rural tranquility with a well-established, turnkey business once home to the renowned DIA Bark Away, a top-rated dog boarding and grooming facility praised for its exceptional care and loyal clientele. The property features two custom-built kennel outbuildings thoughtfully designed for professional dog care, including heated interiors, secure indoor/outdoor runs, grooming stations, wash bays, and ample storage. A third kennel building offers space for expansion, training services, or specialized operations. Known for catering to pets with separation anxiety and special needs, the facility built a reputation for its individualized attention, consistent five-star reviews, and high demand from DIA-bound travelers. In addition to the thriving pet care infrastructure, the property includes two well-appointed residences. The main home is a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath split-level with a sunroom and detached 4-car garage, ideal for owners, caretakers, or managers. A separate 3-bedroom, 2-bath guest house with a loft and unfinished basement provides added versatility for rental income, multigenerational living, or staff accommodations. Each home is served by its own private well and septic system. Equestrian amenities include two barns, large lean-tos for equipment and hay storage, fenced pastures, and plenty of open land suitable for grazing, riding, or additional development. Located near E-470, I-70, and DIA, this property is ideal for animal lovers, business owners, or investors seeking a unique live/work setup. Sale includes real estate, infrastructure, equipment, and the legacy of a respected pet care brand. Square Footage is a combination of both homes.
