ABOUT

Thistle Hill Farm: An Equestrian Estate on 80 Acres

Thistle Hill Farm draws from the symmetry and grace of Georgian architecture, but life here is effortless, more in tune with the relaxed rhythm of Colorado country living. Set on 80 acres of rolling hills, whispering pines, and golden pastures, it’s the kind of place where mornings begin in the saddle or with coffee by the fountain, and end with boots kicked off by the fire. A gated drive circles a stately red-brick home that anchors the masonry stable and garages in a graceful crescent courtyard. At its center, a landscaped island and classic fountain create a serene focal point. 

Dormered rooflines, ivy-climbed archways, and quoined corners nod to heritage, while pane windows and stately chimneys give the residence its timeless balance. Here, craftsmanship and land hold equal reverence - where architecture meets artistry, and every space invites both purpose and ease. Built not just for beauty but for living well, Thistle Hill Farm stands as a generational estate, designed to hold stories, gather loved ones, and celebrate the art of home. 

Crafted with exquisite finishes and enduring intention, the home feels both refined and deeply livable. Intricate millwork, layered textures, and thoughtful details flow throughout. Step through the formal entry, marked by a paneled door with sidelites and a fanlight transom, and the tone is set. Elegant picture rails display a life well lived: collected artwork, family treasures, and quiet moments worth remembering. 

The great room rises with 20-foot ceilings, anchored by a cast-stone fireplace framed in floor-to-ceiling brick. Dormer windows and a wall of glass draw the gardens into view, softening the space with natural light. In the kitchen, heritage and function meet: a butcher-block island, hand-painted tile in a William Morris motif, brick accents, and professional-grade appliances create a space made for real cooking. The formal dining room, with floor-to-ceiling windows and exquisite millwork, comfortably seats up to fourteen—perfect for gatherings that linger long after the plates are cleared. 

A private wing offers quiet retreat with a serene primary suite and a study warmed by a custom fireplace. The study’s fox-hunt–themed surround, hand-painted by the same artist who crafted the kitchen’s backsplash, is framed by over a hundred pieces of custom millwork, proof of the artistry that defines this home. The primary suite opens to garden views and includes a spa-like bath with a jetted tub nestled beneath sunlit windows, dual vanities, and a spacious walk-in closet with built-ins and direct access to the private gym. 

The flex room, with its soaring ceilings and arched double doors, is an integral extension of the home. Designed with intentionally rustic block walls and polished concrete flooring, the space is contiguous with the main house and ideal for hosting gatherings, creating a studio, displaying collections, or serving as a gym.  

Outdoor living here is a natural extension of the home’s character. The brick-accented kitchen patio, with its wood-burning fireplace, retractable awning, and raised herb gardens, sets the scene for slow mornings and summer dinners. Just beyond, the west terrace offers a breathtaking vantage for sunsets, where balustrade railings frame sculpted lawns, a central fountain, and the quiet beauty of meadows beyond. 

This is a true working horse property, designed for both purpose and pleasure. The main stable includes seven beautifully crafted stalls, a wash stall, four tie stalls, a spacious tack room, and a private bathroom with washer and dryer. A second barn adds more stalls, an indoor round pen, and covered hay storage, along with an adjacent outdoor arena. A two-bedroom apartment—complete with a full kitchen, living area, and office nook—offers a comfortable retreat for guests, caretakers, or extended stays. 

The attached three-car garage with new epoxy flooring and the detached four-car garage provide ample, well-appointed space for vehicles and equipment. And the garden cottage, wrapped in white picket fencing and filled with natural light, offers a whimsical yet practical workspace for gardening or quiet reflection. 

With agricultural tax status, mineral rights, and water rights, the land is as purposeful as it is picturesque. Every inch reflects thoughtful design—built to work, to welcome, and to last. 

Though it feels worlds away, Thistle Hill Farm is just 25 minutes from Castle Rock, with well-maintained paved roads guiding you nearly all the way to the gate. Less than an hour from both Denver International Airport and Colorado Springs, the estate offers rare seclusion without sacrificing access. 

More than a home, Thistle Hill Farm is a legacy. Its beauty isn’t just in what you see, but in what you feel—the calm of open space, the craftsmanship that endures, and the quiet assurance that you’ve found something meant to be kept, not just for a lifetime, but for generations.
