Property Description
Foss Ranch is a rare ±160-acre foothills estate combining historic character, development-ready infrastructure, and long-term potential just 35 minutes from Denver. Once a beloved mountain retreat and chapel site, the property includes four legal parcels, underground utilities, nearly half a mile of paved roads, two thoughtfully restored Cabins, and the original 1940 Foss Chapel — all set within a scenic mix of open meadows, wooded ridgelines, and panoramic views.
