The villa at the center of Stove Prairie Ranch was built in 2007 out of full-thickness concrete block faced with granite quarried on the property, its walls more than two feet thick and a Roman mosaic dated at roughly 2,000 years old set into the foyer. The $5,871,900 sale of the Bellvue ranch was one of five reported home sales in the Fort Collins, Colorado metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026, a group that totaled $9.96 million.
Below it, a five-acre custom home in Scenic Ranch Estates changed hands, along with a newly built Toll Brothers house in Timnath and a pair of Estes Park properties that closed a day apart, one a 1926 cabin in High Drive Heights and the other a single-level 1982 house in Carriage Hills. Land runs through the week’s list: every sale outside Timnath came with at least an acre, and the Bellvue ranch carries roughly 155.
No. 1 — $5,871,900 · 9200 & 9451 Old Flowers Road, Bellvue, Colorado
Stove Prairie Ranch occupies roughly 155 acres of the Bellvue foothills, where Rist Canyon, Buckhorn Canyon and the Cache la Poudre corridor come together. The property, addressed at 9200 & 9451 Old Flowers Road, closed September 18, 2026 at $5,871,900, and its ground carries rolling foothill terrain, granite outcroppings and a spring-fed pond.
Listing materials identify the 2007 residence as an Italian-inspired villa of a reported 9,005 square feet, with four bedrooms and six bathrooms. Its exterior walls are full-thickness concrete block overlaid with granite quarried on the property, more than two feet thick. Inside are 14-foot arched ceilings, radiant in-floor heat, custom German wood-framed windows, fireplaces built of full-thickness coral and the Roman mosaic set into the entry floor.
Past the main rooms are private guest quarters with an auxiliary kitchen, a formal dining room served through a wine and bottle room, a second prep kitchen, an office and library with a wet bar, and a third-floor atelier lit on all four sides under double-height ceilings. Two private elevators connect the levels, one reaching the primary suite and its dual bathrooms and walk-in closets; other bedrooms take in balcony views. A 32-foot indoor saltwater pool sits behind a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, with a lounge and wellness area alongside.
Beyond the villa, the ranch includes additional cottages, a shed, an indoor riding arena and a two-bedroom, one-bath farmhouse, improvements that support equestrian use, guest and staff housing and private events; the property has also been used as a wedding and event venue. Downtown Fort Collins lies about 15 miles away by Rist Canyon Road, and the Cache la Poudre River, Mishawaka Amphitheatre, Lory State Park and Horsetooth Reservoir are all close by.
Dan Murphy and Seth Craft of M4 Ranch Group, LLC were the listing agents. The $5,871,900 closing ranked No. 1 in RealtyWire’s Top 5 reported home sales for the Fort Collins metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026.

A custom ranch-style home at 2124 Scenic Estates Dr, on five acres in Scenic Ranch Estates, sold for $1,282,000 on September 17, 2026. Built in 2018, it holds four bedrooms and four bathrooms across a reported 4,518 square feet and backs onto the community’s common ground.
The open plan draws light from tall custom windows, and refinished ebonized hickory floors, exposed beams and a stone fireplace run through the main rooms. The kitchen has granite counters, an oversized island, a five-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer and a walk-in pantry. A newly finished basement adds a recreation room, another bedroom and a full bath, while the primary suite includes a soaking tub, a floating double vanity, a dual-head shower and a closet that opens directly to the laundry room.

A new house at 5580 Blacksmith Ave in Timnath changed hands for $966,000 on September 15, 2026. Toll Brothers built it in 2025 to the builder’s Hillrose Prairie plan, with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a reported 4,749 square feet.
The south-facing layout puts a bedroom and a full bath with a walk-in shower on the main floor, and the house was finished with eight-foot interior doors, a 16-foot slider onto a covered rear patio, a laundry sink and an exterior gas line for a grill.

No. 4 — $925,000 · 731 Windy Rose Dr, Estes Park, Colorado
A home that began as a 1926 cabin, on just over an acre in the High Drive Heights neighborhood of Estes Park, sold for $925,000. The sale closed September 17, 2026, on a hillside lot that looks out at Longs Peak and Meeker Mountain.
The house grew through successive additions built to match the original cabin, and it now holds four bedrooms and three bathrooms in a reported 1,846 square feet. Wood floors and vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings run through the living and dining rooms, where a gas stove stands on a brick hearth in place of the wood-burning model it replaced. A sunroom with a wet bar and a tile floor carries woodwork matched to the rest of the house, and antique doors saved from the Stanley Hotel open into a fourth bedroom that doubles as a study, its Murphy bed folding away for guests.
Built-in window seats with storage beneath them and heated floors in two bathrooms belong to the same handmade character, and a three-car garage has 12-foot bays. A private brick patio sits at the corner of the lot among rock formations and ponderosa pines, some of the trees older than the cabin, where deer move through and elk calve on the hillside in spring. Downtown Estes Park is 2.1 miles away and the Rocky Mountain National Park entrance 2.7 miles, reached without driving through town. The property previously changed hands for $330,000 in 2009.
Jeff Abel and Julie Abel of Keller Williams Top of the Rockies Estes Park were the listing agents. The $925,000 closing ranked No. 4 in RealtyWire’s Top 5 reported home sales for the Fort Collins metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026.
