This unique property, located just 11 miles from Ted's Place and approximately 25 minutes from downtown Fort Collins, presents a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and have easy access to city amenities. Imagine being able to fish right on the river, savor the peace and quiet of the natural surroundings, and then take a short drive to Fort Collins for dinner.
This land is currently being offered as a single parcel. However, preliminary work has been done to divide it into four potential parcels, offering possibilities for development or the creation of a multifamily recreational retreat, should that be of interest. Access to the property is conveniently located directly off the Hewlett Gulch Parking lot via an easement. With its boundary backing to the national forest, this property truly is a rare find.
Along the western bank of the river, you'll find a level area that the original owner enjoyed for camping. This spot is characterized by beautiful wild lilacs, large pine trees, cottonwoods, and, of course, private river frontage. A significant fishing hole is situated nearby, and if fishing isn't active, this area also serves as an excellent natural swimming hole.
The property and surrounding area are frequented by a variety of wildlife, including deer, elk, bear, and big horn sheep, offering excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing.
