Retreat Center Opportunity on 70 Acres – Architectural Estate, Expansion Land, and Tech-Integrated Infrastructure | Berthoud, CO
Kiva House is a design-forward, ultra-private architectural estate now offered as a fully integrated 70-acre compound, ideal for conversion into a luxury retreat center, executive wellness sanctuary, or boutique hospitality destination. Located just 10 minutes from Berthoud and 1 hour from Denver International Airport, this rare opportunity combines world-class design, large-scale private acreage, commercial-quality infrastructure, and dramatic panoramic views of Longs Peak, the Front Range, and TPC Colorado.
This one-of-a-kind property offers not only a distinctive 7,772 SF main residence but also a 3,424 SF indoor recreation center/gymnasium, a 1,440 SF conditioned barn, and an additional 35-acre contiguous parcel —designed to function cohesively. The estate is positioned for immediate private or semi-commercial use, or for strategic expansion under a retreat, health/wellness, or eco-hospitality model.
Main Residence – 7,772 SF of Architectural Significance & Industrial Elegance
Crafted with an unwavering commitment to sustainability and high design, the primary residence is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, reclaimed wood, charred Shou Sugi Ban pine, concrete, and blackened steel — combining raw materials with modern precision. The home offers a 29-ft vaulted great room with a hand-troweled concrete fireplace, 55-ft glass wall with motorized panoramic sliding doors, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to expansive patios and nature.
Key features include:
• Radiant heat matte black concrete floors throughout
• Antique oak beams from the 1800s
• Vintage Churchill Downs fencing with natural lichen
• Bespoke kitchen with 13-ft live-edge Parota bar top from Costa Rica, custom steel island, Dacor & Miele appliances
• Infrared yoga sauna, steam shower, heated floors in primary suite
• Integrated smart-home tech: 10Gbps enterprise-grade fiber network, AI-enabled security, color-tunable lighting, zoned sound, cinematic AV
• Designed for low operational costs and high resilience with passive solar, advanced insulation, and off-grid readiness
Recreation Complex – 3,424 SF of Indoor Wellness, Event, or Group Space
This structure — which currently serves as a gym, basketball court, and recreation zone — offers 29-ft ceilings, fitness studio mirrors, rope climbing stations, and multiple EV charging outlets. With minimal modification, it can support:
• Group yoga or meditation events
• Fitness or longevity programming
• Team-building workshops or private instruction
• High-ticket personal training, martial arts, or aerial yoga
The space is fully insulated, heated/cooled, and wired with fiber connectivity for AV installations, music, or guest presentations.
Commercial Barn – 1,440 SF Fully Conditioned with Expansion Capabilities
On the recently added adjacent 35-acre parcel, a modern barn structure offers additional commercial-grade space. Spray foam insulated and climate-controlled with propane heat and A/C, it includes:
• 14-ft garage door
• Concrete floors
• Fully wired fiber internet (connected to main estate’s enterprise network)
• Ideal for event staging, storage, workshops, or studio space
This outbuilding and parcel can also serve as a future glamping hub, cabin-style lodging zone, or creative retreat annex under retreat zoning or special use permitting.
Location, Access & Infrastructure
• Just 10 minutes to Berthoud, 20 minutes to Loveland, 35 to Boulder, and 1 hour to Denver International Airport (DIA)
• Easy access via paved road, then private drive to secure gated entrance
• Private well, septic, and propane systems in place – fully autonomous and off-grid capable
• Substantial engineering groundwork already completed, with road infrastructure, high-speed fiber trenching, and cross-property connectivity
Commercial & Retreat Center Potential
While this estate is currently residential, its scale, infrastructure, and privacy make it a prime candidate for adaptive commercial uses, subject to county approvals. Potential uses include:
• Luxury wellness retreat center
• Private spiritual or leadership retreat
• Corporate training & offsite experience venue
• High-ticket short-term rental / hospitality compound
• Creative artist residency or performance center
• Psychedelic therapy (ketamine/MDMA) or trauma recovery venue
• Destination wedding/events venue (with lodging overlay)
• Investment hold with brand licensing (e.g., Aman-style retreats, Wander, Habitas)
The adjacent 35-acre parcel allows site plan expansion without disrupting core operations, enabling phased buildout or modular retreat offerings.
