Located in the heart of Northern Colorado with easy access to Denver, Fort Collins, Loveland, and the booming Front Range corridor, The Lake at Big Thompson combines a 28± acre private lake, Big Thompson River frontage, a 2024-built luxury residence, and resort-caliber recreation into an ownership opportunity that is rarely available and nearly impossible to recreate.

The lake has been meticulously developed into a destination-quality fishery — producing Colorado state record Greenear Sunfish and Bluegill — and supports every water sport imaginable. Future plans for a lodge, event venue, and boathouse are already drawn up, and a new high-capacity well was completed in 2026. This property is as ready for legacy ownership as it is for resort-caliber development.
