Berthoud

Berthoud, Colorado is a small town situated roughly halfway between Loveland and Longmont. Berthoud's nickname is the "Garden Spot of Colorado". Though it has a sizable downtown area for its size, outside of some of the neighborhoods immediately surrounding the town's core the area has a noticeably more rural and agricultural feel with many larger 'rural estates', hobby farms and acreage properties, especially to the west of town that enjoy expansive foothills views.

The picturesque area provides a great compromise for buyers looking for a more rural and pastoral feel and a bit of land to spread out while still maintaining a reasonable proximity to the amenities of larger towns and cities like Loveland (about 12 mins north), Longmont (20 mins south) and Fort Collins (35 minutes north). Even Denver is only around a 40-minute drive to the south. But, you don't have to make the drive! Berthoud has an impressive array of amenities for its size, including the nearby Carter Lake (fishing, boating and swimming), the Berthoud Bike Park (an expansive mountain biking skills course) and the Little Thompson Observatory (if you fancy a closer look at the stars). A whole host of nearby lakes and reservoirs, the PGA Tour-managed TPC Colorado golf course and not one, but two skate parks and a host of restaurants and shops round out the town amenities.
