14133 Rist Canyon Rd, Bellvue, CO 80512

Property Description

Rare 160-acre homestead that abuts Rist Canyon Road, a well-maintained Larimer County road plowed frequently in winter. See property website! Unlike many mountain properties tucked far off the county road and hard to reach after a storm, this land has direct frontage on a reliable year-round route-then interior roads throughout the acreage so you can access the homes, pond, meadows, timber, and ridges. Electricity is already to the property.Water is a standout: a year-round artesian well, at least two springs that run year-round, several seeps, and seasonal creeks, plus a private pond. That mix of live water and stored water is uncommon this close to town.Just west of Bellvue and only 30 minutes from Fort Collins, the land mixes ponderosa and mixed-conifer forest, open ground, rock outcroppings, and long canyon views. There are two structures: an unused circa-1920 home that was never permitted, and a small 1980s home-also unpermitted-where the sellers currently live. The sellers are willing to remove the 1980s home, or the buyer may tear it down or work with the county to pursue permitting. Sellers are also continuing to clear old cars that have collected on the land over the years. Room for a new homesite, livestock, shops, gardens, and recreation. Elk, mule deer, turkey, and other foothills wildlife are part of the setting. No HOA.County-road access, interior roads, power in place, and year-round water. Also, two propane tanks are on the land and owned by seller. There is also a Historic pre-permit well (circa 1920) that was long in use; pump may need replacement and the well is not currently in service. Buyers to verify well, springs, water rights, septic, utilities, permitting, road conditions, and all structures.
