CARTER LAKE VALLEY

The property is located 60 miles north of Denver and 35 miles north of Boulder, between Longmont and Loveland. You can live in this quiet mountain valley south of Carter Lake. Just eight miles to the village of Berthoud, and 15 miles to Loveland or Longmont, the location is convenient for commuters or those working from home. The Berthoud school bus stop is 800 yards up the county road inside the South Shore Campground parking lot.

You cannot see it from the house, but a 10 min walk to the Carter Lake South Shore Boat Ramp offers year round boating, fishing, hiking and biking trails. Every day, valley residents enjoy the drive around the scenic southend of the 180ft deep lake. There is swimming, diving, paddle-boat rental, water skiing, and sailing (two marinas).

The valley abounds with wild flowers, birds, wild animals and the horses and pets of the 70 residents. And it is quiet enough to hear them. Behind the ridge to the west is Longs Peak (14,259ft). While snows on the Continental Divide are deep, the valley weather (5,757ft) is mild and snows are interspersed with warm sunny days.

The Larimer County area offers countless opportunities for sightseeing, hiking & biking, snowshoeing, hot air ballooning, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, golf, the arts, theatre, movies, shopping and all sorts of sports. Checkout these websites describing activities within 45 minutes:
