The Colorado dream looks a lot like a 1-of-1 sanctuary perched above Horsetooth Reservoir. Set on 35 acres on a private ridge, 5815 Bighorn Crossing is a retreat that marries rare land, soulful architecture, and everyday livability-minutes to town yet a world apart. The residence spans 4,127 sf with 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, originally crafted in 1988 with modern touches throughout, thoughtfully oriented to frame sunrise-to-sunset views from nearly every room. Statement fireplaces, high ceilings with wood beams, and rich wood floors create an inviting interior while sprawling windows pull the outdoors in. Entertaining flows naturally from the timeless kitchen to sunny lounges and out to multiple terraces that gaze across the reservoir and city lights. Ascend up a private staircase to the primary retreat offering panoramic views of all that Fort Collins has to offer. A spa like ensuite bathroom awaits you. There is a separate room included in the primary - perfect for a library, home office, or use as the bedroom to give yourself an extra living room upstairs. The "penthouse" primary suite also includes two closets, a cozy gas fireplace, and additional light filled sitting room. What truly sets this property apart is the combination of acreage, architecture, and access: a scenic, gated foothills enclave with quick connections to Harmony/Taft for dining, groceries, and city conveniences-without sacrificing privacy. Properties with this scale of land and outlook seldom change hands here; and this masterpiece is among Horsetooth's limited collection of ridge-top homes. Whether you're hosting fireside dinners, opening French doors to morning light, or immersing yourself in the wildlife that surrounds, this isn't just a home-it's a Northern Colorado lifestyle waiting to be lived.
