When Mo first published this website he sent it to a friend and she said “Well, if I’m considering to move there, I’d like to know, what’s around and nearby!” and — we agree!

Standley Lake Regional Park

The picture above is of Standley lake, which is about a 20 minute walk from the ranch or a 5-10 minute drive or bike ride away. It’s a beautiful lake with clear waters and a beach. Unfortunately it’s not available for swimming, however paddle-boarding and kayaking are allowed. The good news is that there are no motorized craft allowed on the lake, which makes it more quiet and serene. Part of the lake is also protected eagle habitat, which you can kayak into, however not walk. We love having that lake nearby!

Rocky Flats Wildlife Refuge

To the northwest of the property is Rocky Flats, also only a few minutes drive, with gorgeous views, hiking trails and wildlife. Our neighbor on the ranch is the woman that also made Rocky Flats happen – in part! It used to be a site where the US government produced nuclear weapons and after many calls from the community and going all the way to the Supreme Court, they won and achieved that the US government spent billions of dollars to clean up the site and turn it into the gorgeous wildlife habitat it is today. We feel proud and and believe it is one of the best cleaned up sites of its kind in the world.

Westminster Hills Open Space Dog Off-Leash and Natural Area

Do you have dogs?  ALSO just 20 minutes’ walk from the property is this incredible, 470 acre open space where dogs and their owners are invited to hike off leash!  (That’s not a typo – 4-7-0 acres!)   What a joy it is to see all the dogs gallavanting, while their guardians accompany them out to chase balls and take in the stunning front range views.

Stoney Creek Golf Course

Directly across the street is a privately owned, 9-Hole golf course!  They also have a driving range, chipping and putting greens.  Golf Carts available for rent!
