EVENING OPEN HOUSE – THURSDAY, JULY 17 4-6 PM! Come for the views, stay for the vibes! Trout Dance Ranch is a wild & wonderful mountain retreat where creativity, recreation & self-reliance meet. Spanning two separately deeded & buildable parcels – each with its own well permit – this rare offering combines live water, income potential & lifestyle versatility. Whether you’re dreaming of a short-term rental setup, hobby farm, alternative wellness retreat or artist’s hideaway, this is a space that invites imagination. The original 1965 barn-style home, expanded in 2011, offers a flexible floor plan ready to finish to taste. A large entertainer’s kitchen flows into the main living room, where vaulted ceilings & a wood stove create a warm gathering hub. A spacious family room, 2 primary suites (one with updated bath & dual closets) and a loft-style third bedroom in the northern wing provide ample room for guests, multigen living or remote work. In the southern wing, a concealed entry opens to nearly 800 sqft of hidden loft space above the kitchen & primary suite – ideal for a game room, media lounge or private retreat. Outside, the magic continues. A spring-fed, trout-stocked lake anchors the property, bordered by aspen groves & visited by moose, elk & hummingbirds. A handcrafted beach, boat launch & whimsical gazebo with barbacoa pit create a unique lakeside gathering spot. A year-round artesian spring supports the land, which also includes a chicken coop, trail network & a shipping container “ham house” – perfect for a recording studio or creative outpost. An oversized 2-car garage includes workshop space & lofted storage. Additional building sites offer room to grow – think guest cabins, yurts or more. Fiber internet is available & the property sees excellent sun exposure for solar potential. Located just off paved Hwy 119 with flat access to Nederland, Eldora & the Front Range, this is a rare chance to own live water & create your own mountain lifestyle playground.
