Nestled in the scenic Big Thompson Canyon just 15 minutes west of Loveland, Colorado, Nugget Springs is a historic 52-acre estate that blends rich heritage with modern upgrades and unmatched natural beauty. Established in 1922 on the site of an old trapper's cabin, it later became a rustic resort with guest cabins, a restaurant, and a dance hall. The name comes from local legend-after a miner reportedly found a gold nugget so large, he vanished soon after. Since purchasing the property in 2013, the current owners have invested over $300,000 in thoughtful improvements. These include a new well system with a 660 feet deep well and an 1,800-gallon in-ground cistern, along with an upgraded septic system to support the five-bedroom, three-bath layout. A new front porch, bathroom and closet were all added for improved functionality and enjoyment, and even new windows were installed while still preserving the home's original character. The property features over 200 feet of Big Thompson River frontage and backs to thousands of acres of Roosevelt National Forest. Located in Game Management Unit 20, the land is alive with wildlife and ideal for fishing, hiking, hunting, and year-round outdoor enjoyment. To the west, the property borders Narrows Park, owned by Larimer County, and just a few minutes drive away are Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park and the Round Mountain National Recreation Trail. Take a scenic 30-minute drive up the canyon and you'll reach Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park and Trail Ridge Road. In August 2024, the Alexander Mountain Fire threatened the property, but thanks to a targeted firefighting effort, the historic home was saved. Nugget Springs is more than a home-it's a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in one of Colorado's most beautiful and storied canyons.
