Owning a mountain home is more than just a real estate investment—it’s a lifestyle choice that offers unparalleled privacy, natural beauty, and a deep connection to nature. At Shoshana Ranch, located in the heart of Colorado, we offer 35+ acre luxury homesites that provide the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. Whether you’re considering building your dream home or seeking a tranquil retreat, here are key factors to consider before buying your mountain home.
Location, Location, Location
Mountain homes are different. They’re not your typical neighborhood house. Location matters more than ever. You need reliable roads, access to utilities, and services that don’t disappear when the weather turns.
Here, you get paved access and maintained roads year-round. No worrying about getting stuck in the snow. The community is gated and surrounded by the National Forest. So, you get privacy and protection from development.
Accessibility
We’re just 30 minutes from Fort Collins, 60 minutes from Loveland and Laramie, and 90 minutes from Denver International Airport. This proximity ensures you can enjoy the tranquility of mountain living without sacrificing convenience.
Utilities and Infrastructure
All lots come with utilities to the property line, including underground primary power, engineering in place for domestic water wells, and propane gas. High-speed satellite internet is available, ensuring you stay connected even in remote settings.
Terrain and Views
Our homesites feature secluded hilltops, rock outcroppings, rolling meadows, and aspen groves. Each lot offers unique vistas and opportunities for outdoor activities, making it essential to choose a site that aligns with your lifestyle preferences.
Wildlife and Natural Surroundings
Living at Shoshana Ranch means coexisting with a rich array of wildlife, including moose, elk, bear, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, mule deer, turkeys, marmots, mountain lions, bobcats, wolves, coyotes, foxes, weasels, minks, martens, skunks, and jackrabbits. Embrace the opportunity to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
Determining What Your Dream Mountain Home Will Look Like
With 35+ acre luxury homesites at Shoshana Ranch, you have plenty of space to create the mountain home you’ve always wanted. From modern mountain homes with sleek, contemporary designs to rustic cabins blending with the natural landscape, the possibilities are endless. Use your own builder or work with one of ours who knows this unique terrain well.
Mountain home plans should factor in stunning views, natural light, and energy efficiency. Think about how you want to enjoy your outdoor spaces—do you picture a wraparound deck overlooking aspen groves, or a cozy stone fireplace to warm up after a day of exploring? The key is to make your home fit your lifestyle perfectly.
Factor in Additional Costs
Mountain home ownership isn’t cheap. You’ll want to budget for maintenance — roofs, roads, driveways, fencing, and everything else that takes a hit from the weather and wildlife. Insurance costs can be higher because of risks like wildfires or heavy snow.
Utilities might cost a bit more due to the remote location, but with everything in place at Shoshana Ranch, you’re ahead of the game.
And don’t forget transportation: snow removal is part of mountain life. You’ll need a plan for getting around safely.
