Description
Nelson Farm offers 2.5 acres in the Olathe area of Colorado and practical improvements come together in a part of the Uncompahgre Valley long known for farming and livestock use. This is the kind of property that can support production, animal use, and full-time country living without forcing a buyer to choose one over the other. Key Features: Residence: 5,802± square foot, 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom farmhouse. Shop: Fully insulated 50' x 125' red-iron shop with large overhead doors. Beyond the field production, the supporting improvements add real day-to-day function. The property includes a pond, year-round water, a loafing shed with tack room, a chicken coop, a large lawn with a full sprinkler system, and a spacious parking area. The 50' x 125' fully insulated red-iron shop is one of the stronger utility features on the place, with four 14' x 18' insulated overhead doors, loft storage, a half bath, three-phase power, 220 power, a wood stove, and a negotiable two-post car lift. It is a building that supports real work, storage, equipment use, and flexibility for whatever direction the next owner takes the property. The residence is substantial. The home offers 5,802± square feet and began as a 1950s farmhouse, with a major addition completed in 2005. The result is a house with scale, multiple gathering spaces, and a layout that supports both everyday living and larger family use. The southern great room is anchored by a cathedral ceiling, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, large windows, stained concrete floors, and direct access to a large concrete patio built for outdoor use and entertaining. A second living room on the north side of the house adds another common area, with more large windows, a tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a wood stove with stacked stone surround. Above that space is an approximately 400± square foot office, reached by a locally crafted semi-spiral Italian metal staircase. The office includes hardwood flooring, oak cabinetry, and a balcony overlooking the great room below. The kitchen carries a more custom feel, with stainless finishes, two islands, bar seating, a prep sink, a commercial-grade gas range set into a brick surround, a single and double dishwasher, and layered lighting. It is a house that was built to be used, with enough room and enough infrastructure to handle daily life, guests, and the movement that comes with a working property. The bedroom wing includes a large primary suite with access to the back patio, along with a bathroom that includes dual sinks, a glassed-in shower with travertine tile, and a jetted soaking tub. Off that same hallway are four additional bedrooms, and 2 additional bathrooms, along with a third living area and a large storage room. The home also includes two air conditioning units and three propane tanks.
