Colorado
The Windsor Reservoir real estate market is a tight inventory marketplace for lake property in Colorado.
Normally there are very few lake homes for sale at Windsor Reservoir, and very few listings for lots and land.
Windsor Reservoir is one of Colorado's largest lakes.
At over 250 acres, this lovely lake is found 30 minutes east of Fort Collins and an hour outside of Denver and offers the perfect balance of city amenities with small-town bliss.
This medium-sized lake holds:
- largemouth bass
- lake trout
- cutthroat trout
- smallmouth bass
- brown trout
- catfish
Ornithologists love this lake for its prevalence of diving ducks and flocks of geese.
Boating is by permit only.
The small town of Windsor skirts the edge of city life while retaining the beauty of the Colorado countryside. The lake itself has a trail spanning over two miles, making it perfect for walks and runs either on your own or with your family. Border Park flanks the lake and has a playground and lovely views of the water.
Families will love the Swetsville Zoo (14 minutes), which features animal sculptures made of metal, or Fort Fun (21 minutes) which will keep your kids entertained for hours with go-karts, mini-golf, batting cages, and so much more.
For parents wanting to have a relaxing evening away from the kids, The Hearth (9 minutes) gastropub offers delicious food and an airy, industrial atmosphere. If you can’t find a babysitter, bring the kids out to Roma Windsor (12 minutes) for Italian or The Border Restaurant (9 minutes) for some amazing Tex-Mex.
The nearest hotels to the lake for visiting friends and family are Super 8 by Wyndham Windsor (8 minutes) and the Hilton Garden Inn Fort Collins (18 minutes).
The nearest airports to Westcott Lake are the WKR Airport-65CO (12 minutes) for private flights and the Northern Colorado Regional Airport (22 minutes) for commercial flights.
The nearest hospital to help you with all of your medical needs is UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies (25 minutes).
Nature lovers will adore this medium-sized lake. With such a competitive housing market, you can’t afford to miss out on this lake lover's dream!
