Thistle Hill Farm, rooted in the symmetry & elegance of pure Georgian architecture, is a brilliant equestrian estate nestled within 120 acres of whispering pines, rolling hills, & golden-lit pastures. A gated entry gives way to a circular drive, where the stately red brick residence anchors the adjacent carriage house, stable, & garages to form a graceful crescent courtyard. At its center, a landscaped island and fountain offer a serene focal point. With dormered rooflines, quoined corners, stately chimneys, and ivy-covered archways, the effect is timeless, grounded, & utterly magnificent. Here, craftsmanship & land hold equal reverence—where mornings begin in the saddle & evenings end beside a garden fountain as the sun slips behind the meadow. A formal entry hall sets the tone, leading to a soaring great room with 20’ ceilings, a cast stone fireplace, & windows framing the gardens. Heritage & function meet in the kitchen, centered around a butcher block island with hand-painted tile in a William Morris motif. The dining room features exquisite millwork & comfortably seats 14. A private wing offers retreat: a study with a fox hunt–themed fireplace & custom millwork, & a serene primary suite. Outdoor living is equally refined with a West terrace & kitchen patio with fireplace. This is a working horse property—yet your horses live with every bit of style as the estate. The stable includes 7 stalls, wash & tie stalls, tack room, & a bathroom with laundry, while a second barn offers an indoor round pen & more stalls. The carriage house serves as a refined, versatile space for displays or gatherings. An apartment offers space for guests/caretakers. With mineral rights & approx. 300 acre-feet of water rights, the land is as purposeful as it is picturesque. 25 mins. from Castle Rock & under an hour from DIA & Colorado Springs. Built not just for beauty, but for purpose, this is an estate designed to hold stories, gather loved ones, & honor the art of living well.
