Privacy and serenity define this special setting-located on a private 2-property road and overlooking the charming towns of Laporte and Bellvue, just east of Watson Lake.

This is truly a turn-key opportunity to create your dream home in a location that balances peaceful rural living with unbeatable access to town.Whether you're envisioning expansive decks to take in sunrise views, a small hobby farm, or simply a private retreat with room to breathe, this parcel provides a versatile canvas and a rare combination of natural beauty, convenience, and development readiness.Opportunities like this don't come along often-properties with views, privacy, and easy access are increasingly rare in this desirable region. Come experience the tranquility, imagine your future home, and make this exceptional piece of Northern Colorado your own.
From north Fort Collins on Hwy 287, take County Road 54G thru Laporte and turn left of CR23E. Go about 800 feet and Raptor Ridge is on the right. You'll see the Hayden Outdoors sign. Please don't go on the property unescorted.
