Colorado Winery & Event Center For Sale – SOLD

Details

SOLD – 3924 Bingham Hill Road is a 5.9-acre slice of heaven that exudes “rustic elegance” located in what many locals believe is the most romantic area of northern Colorado. Whether you are looking for a property with income opportunities or a serene place to raise a family this property offers both. Currently, the property is used for the owner’s residence, an event center, and until very recently, a boutique winery. If growing things is your passion, there are currently 6 +/- acres of grapes and Aronia being grown, with additional space available for planting. There may not be another property in Colorado that has the flexibility and ready-made opportunities that exist at this property.

Located in a Larimer County FA-Farming Zoning District, besides the residential use, the Larimer County Approved Uses that go with the property in perpetuity include:
● Farming,
● Community Hall/Events Center Use,
● Seasonal Camp Use,
● Bed and Breakfast Use,
● Value Added Agricultural Processing and Agritourism Use. (which was very recently operated as a boutique winery)

This meticulously kept property is located just 15 minutes from downtown Fort Collins, Colorado, frequently voted as one of the best small cities in the United States. The property is situated 300 yards off of Bingham Hill Road and is only 5 minutes from Horsetooth Reservoir and Lory State Park, and a ½ mile from the Cache La Poudre River and the paved bicycle trail
that parallels the river for 40 miles to the east. The property is a combination of manicured open space, incredible views from all sides of the house and yet is in close proximity to the area’s best attractions.

If living close to nature is important, you have found the right place. Wild turkeys and Canada geese and several species of ducks, as well as white tail and mule deer are on the property daily. Frequently seen are Bald and Golden eagles, red tail hawks, turkey vultures, blue herons, and ospreys, all of which nest nearby. Other frequently seen animals include coyotes, bobcats, and raccoons. However it is not unusual, depending on the time of year, to see a bear or mountain lion passing through.
