±160 Acre Foss Ranch with Historic Chapel & Cabins

Foss Ranch is a rare ±160-acre legacy estate nestled in the foothills of Indian Hills, Colorado, just 35 minutes from Denver and minutes from Evergreen, Morrison, and Red Rocks. This remarkable property offers a unique blend of natural beauty, historic charm, and development-ready infrastructure—bordering over 4,000 acres of protected parkland and trail systems. Formerly a historic mountain retreat, the property includes four legal parcels, nearly half a mile of paved internal roads, buried utilities, and a blend of open meadows, wooded ridgelines, and panoramic views. Two thoughtfully restored cabins—Hilltop House (1,204 SF) and Foss Cabin (813 SF)—provide comfortable, move-in-ready living or caretaker housing. At the heart of the site is the 1940 Foss Chapel, a preserved architectural gem featuring original Heinz clay tiles, stained glass, stone floors, and wood ceilings—ready to serve as a spiritual anchor, gathering space, or future retreat centerpiece. Zoned A-2 in unincorporated Jefferson County, the property allows for single-family residential and agricultural use by right, with potential for short-term rentals or small-scale events with county approval. Additional features include a 2,100 SF heated utility building with 4 oversized bays, multiple build-ready homesites, a gated entrance, and Landowner Preference eligibility for hunting tags. Foss Ranch is ideally suited for a conservation-minded investor, family office, or legacy buyer seeking unmatched privacy, flexible use potential, and a generational foothold in Colorado’s Front Range. With infrastructure already in place and no HOA or covenants, the property is a true blank canvas—ready to support private enjoyment, stewardship, or thoughtful expansion.
