Applewood Equestrian Estates

I lived in CO 1978-1982. I knew this neighborhood back then when a co-worker built their dream home. I was able to purchase the house across the street from that home 17 years later. I wanted the land, mature trees and location. The house I fixed, this being my design, and almost doubled it in size. I've lived here for 25 years. Nine years ago I was in a tragic accident. I have managed like anyone else by rebuilding and figuring life out. I have been in my home for the past 27 years. I love where I live.

I really enjoy sharing it and seeing it through my guests eyes. They always enjoy the large peaceful property and love the lush green and mature landscape all while being very close to everything in Fort Collins, CSU and Estes Park.

This is larger lots, estates, that has water rights from the Poudre Canyon. With the water shares I am able to irrigate my property via flood irrigation. It is lush and green even in the heat of the summer. Flood irrigation and water rights were only allowed for property that let the run off go right back in the canal and on to the next party. The shares allow the water to be shared. Without the irrigation canals here there were no trees in Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor and Greeley. There would not be any agriculture or ranching. This system was created and built before CO joined the United States. Our Colorado water supports Las Vegas, Arizona and southern California. Before 911 other countries would come and study our system so they could build something for them in their country. Now it is too sensitive of our infrastructure and no longer displayed outside of our country. We can still share the concept, just not our locations.
