5 Colorado Western Slope Retreats, Ranches, and Commercial Opportunity

Set along Highway 92 in Delta, this large commercial multi-use building offers a flexible footprint in a highly visible setting. Zoned B-2, the property includes 9,265± square feet with Highway 92 frontage and an established on-site draw: the House of Chin Restaurant currently occupies 5,500 square feet. That leaves 3,770± square feet available for retail, office, storage, and more—an adaptable balance of active business space and room to expand or diversify. With lots of parking and an excellent location, the layout supports everything from day-to-day operations to future build-out ideas. Purchase options include the building/real estate alone or the real estate with the restaurant/business, opening the door to ownership that pairs prime Delta real estate with the momentum of a successful restaurant and additional uses under one roof.

Beyond the gates of the Celadon community, this 35-acre Colorado mountain retreat unfolds in a forest of towering pines and aspens, bordering National Forest land for a rare sense of privacy. An elevated building site captures spectacular views across the Animas Valley, setting the stage for a custom residence with a truly expansive backdrop. Already in place is a one-of-a-kind, 350-square-foot architectural cabin by acclaimed architect Stephen Atkinson, featured in Dwell magazine—strikingly modern yet warm, and highly energy-efficient. Handcrafted local wood finishes add character, while a 275-square-foot covered terrace and secure lock-and-leave steel shutters make the space equally suited to everyday use or future guest quarters. Build-ready infrastructure includes a fully permitted four-bedroom septic system, a high-producing well, underground utilities ready for extension, and a paved access road maintained by an on-site manager.

Within a gated community just four miles west of I-25, this custom 2005 residence pairs everyday convenience with a sense of retreat, minutes to downtown Berthoud and close to Longmont, Loveland, Johnstown, and Denver, as well as TPC Colorado, Carter Lake, and the gateway to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Set on 2.31 acres with no Metro Tax and FA1 zoning, the grounds unfold with a circular stamped-concrete drive, stone-and-stucco siding, mature landscaping, retaining walls, and a wraparound covered front patio with a tongue-and-groove ceiling. A stamped-concrete courtyard with iron railing and a flower garden is plumbed for a two-story water feature, while the oversized backyard patio and wood-burning fire-pit extend outdoor living. Inside, newly refinished travertine floors lead to formal living and dining, an executive office with French doors, and a gourmet kitchen finished in knotty alder and granite, opening to a vaulted family room anchored by a stacked-stone fireplace.

Beyond private gates in Whitewater, Colorado, this secluded mountain property pairs working-ranch function with everyday comfort. Two homes share the land alongside a large shop building and dedicated horse facilities, supported by irrigated hay ground producing about 100 tons a year. A year-round creek runs through the property for simple watering, while fencing and cross-fencing make rotation straightforward. The larger main home opens to a balcony that looks out across the hay fields, and both homes are noted for staying cool in summer and warm in winter. For the sporting lifestyle, trails wind through the ranch to a well-constructed hunting blind, with elk, deer, and bear frequenting the area. BLM and National Forest adjoin the property for private access, and paved state highway frontage keeps arrivals easy.

Surrounded by 40 acres on Colorado’s Western Slope, 7276 5550 Road pairs working-land character with a finely crafted timber frame residence. Inside, towering ceilings, rich wood beams, and high-end finishes set a warm, grand tone across multiple living spaces designed for both gathering and quiet. The covered front porch opens to a home office, pool room, and a great room centered on a wood-burning stone fireplace and expansive windows. A main-level primary suite adds a sitting room, dual-sided gas fireplace, private patio, and a 6-piece en-suite bath. The chef’s kitchen features Viking appliances and flows to the dining and family rooms, with an additional wood-burning stove and access to multiple outdoor spaces. A catwalk, bonus room with private garage stair, exceptional storage, and a 2020 shop with carport and lean-to complete the picture.
