ABOUT

Thistle Hill Farm: An Equestrian Estate on 120 Acres

Thistle Hill Farm, rooted in the symmetry and elegance of pure Georgian architecture, is a brilliant equestrian estate nestled within 120 acres of whispering pines, rolling hills, and golden-lit pastures. A beautiful, gated entry gives way to a circular drive, where the stately red brick residence anchors the adjacent masonry carriage house, stable, and garages to form a graceful crescent courtyard. At its center, a landscaped island and classic fountain offer a serene focal point. 

With its dormered roofline, quoined corners, multi-pane windows, stately chimneys, and ivy-covered archways, the effect is timeless, grounded, and utterly magnificent. Here, craftsmanship and land hold equal reverence—where mornings begin in the saddle and evenings end beside a garden fountain as the sun slips behind the meadow. Built not just for beauty, but for purpose, this is a generational equestrian estate designed to hold stories, gather loved ones, and honor the art of living well. 

Crafted with exquisite finishes and the utmost intention, the home is a warm, welcoming expression of enduring design. Intricate millwork, spectacular drapery, and thoughtfully layered details flow throughout, creating spaces that feel both refined and deeply livable. Step through the formal entry—marked by a paneled door with sidelites and fanlight transom—and you enter a true great hall. Elegant picture rails display works of art from a life well lived: collected pieces, cherished heirlooms, and quiet moments captured in frame. 

The great room rises with 20-foot ceilings, anchored by a cast stone fireplace wrapped in floor-to-ceiling brick, while dormer windows and a wall of glass frame the surrounding gardens like art. In the kitchen, heritage and function meet—centered around a butcher block island and adorned with hand-painted tile, each painted in a William Morris motif. Brick accents, a hanging pot rack, and custom cabinetry nod to old-world kitchens built to last. Just beyond, the formal dining room stands ready for celebration, with floor-to-ceiling windows, exquisite millwork, and the gracious proportions to comfortably seat up to fourteen guests around the table. 

On a private wing of the home, a series of more intimate spaces invite you to slow down and settle in. The study is a quiet retreat, centered around a fox hunt–themed fireplace—featuring hand-painted tile by the same artist behind the kitchen’s backsplash—and framed by over a hundred pieces of custom millwork. Just beyond, the main-level primary suite offers a sanctuary of its own, with views of the garden and a spa-like bath where a jetted tub rests beneath sunlit windows. The spacious walk-in closet includes built-in organization and direct access to the home’s private gym. 

Outdoor living here is an experience in itself. The brick-accented kitchen patio, with its wood-burning fireplace and raised herb gardens, invites slow mornings and late summer dinners. Just beyond, the grand West terrace is made for golden hour—where balustrade railings frame sculpted lawns, a central fountain, and the quiet beauty of meadows beyond. 

This is a working horse property through and through—yet your horses live with every bit of style as the rest of the estate. 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 houses a round pen and additional stalls for training and riding. The carriage house, with its soaring ceilings and arched double doors, offers an elegant space for displaying collections or hosting unforgettable gatherings. The house, carriage house, stable, and garage are all connected internally, allowing seamless access without stepping outside—each separated by firewalls for safety and containment. 

The attached three-car garage with new epoxy flooring and the detached four-car garage offer ample, well-appointed space for vehicles and equipment. A two-bedroom apartment—complete with a full kitchen, living area, and office nook—provides a comfortable retreat for guests, caretakers, or extended stays. 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, full mineral rights, and approximately 300 acre-feet of water rights, the land is as purposeful as it is picturesque. 

Though it feels worlds away, Thistle Hill Farm is just 25 minutes from Castle Rock, with well-maintained paved roads guiding you almost 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 true beauty isn’t just in what you see, but in what you feel: a rare and lasting sense that you’ve found something worth holding onto, not just for a lifetime, but for generations.
