Violet Hill Farm




This 4 bedroom, 2 bath farmhouse has been extensively remodeled. The grounds have a wide range of landscaping that includes flowering shrubs, mature trees, and lots of perennials.




A wonderful 3-stall barn and horse pastures (below) behind the barn. The “horse pasture” would also make a great home site with its beautiful mature trees. The rail fence is the walking/riding trail.




Above are two of the farm’s historic buildings believed to be late 1880’s. There is a third building not visible in this photo. Below is part of Greenwood Village’s amazing riding/walking trail system adjacent to

the property. This path leads directly to the Highline Canal trail which traverses the entire metro area.




A favorite gathering place in any home is the kitchen. This one is no exception! The former porch is now a bright, sunny, airy eating area complete with a breakfast bar.

Below, the kitchen provides plenty of space for the whole family to congregate.




We have all heard of “comfort food” but this house is truly a “comfort home”. A wood-burning fireplace to gather around, shelves/cabinets to store your favorite games and family photos, lots of windows which makes it bright and sunny, and a door to the outside and the hot tub. A perfect place to just live, or to hang out while your new home is being built, or a great start to add onto for a larger home. Your choice. An abundance of options with this versatile property is yours, and no time requirements to make your decisions...

HOME: This house was built in about 1937 and is a 2-story home with 4 bedrooms and 1 and ¾ baths. Much of home has been remodeled in the last 10-12 years. In about 1995 much of the wiring was updated as was much of the plumbing with copper pipes. There are newer hardwood floors and the remodeled main floor rooms include a remodeled kitchen and bath.

OTHER BUILDINGS: GARDENERS COTTAGE: We believe that this was the original home from about the 1880’s to the 1890’s. It measures 23’ by 12’--a far cry from the massive homes all around it now!

PRICE/TERMS: Asking $2,300,000; will consider all offers including some equity trade. TOPOGRAPHY: Flat to very gently sloping to the west. Beautifully landscaped with mature trees and perennials. The property is at about 5450 feet altitude. HISTORY: This property was part of an area that used to be called Pickle Town. For some interesting information about Pickle Town go to: http://www.littletongov.org/history/othertopics/pickletown.asp Violet Hill Farm’s claim to fame was the chickens and eggs it produced. It is thought that some of the buildings on this farm date to the 1880’s or 1890’s, especially the original home and the root cellar. For some more interesting history of this area, go to: http://www.littletongov.org/history/othertopics/agricultural.asp FEATURES: It is getting harder and harder to find prime building sites in this area of the city--especially those zoned for all of us horse lovers. The great thing about this property is its versatility: live in the house now OR add onto the house OR tear down house and build your own dream home. The choice is yours…and, the timeline is yours because you have a great place to live until you make up your mind! AND, don’t forget the trees! Big mature trees…priceless!
