"Masonville is close to Ft Collins with a real rustic feel in the mountains"

Masonville is a very small area in the mountains just west of Fort Collins, all shopping and amenities etc are in Ft Collins for residents but they seem to prefer that! There is a general store but besides that not much besides land and country roads. If you love Fort Collins but want to be a little ways out of the city check out the land and homes for sale up around Masonville. It is a pretty tite little community, I had some friends that rented a home pretty close to Horsetooth and he loved to fish and she loved the country but they both worked in Ft Collins so renting in Masonville was a great compromise.
Pros
  • very pretty area

"Serene surroundings"

Masonville is located just southwest of Fort Collins and is within 15 miles of Fort Collins, Drake, Loveland, Berthoud, Timnath, and Glen Haven. There is no real town here to speak of, but there is a small little mercantile. There are some homes on a lot of property and there is also an area with a few mobile homes, although from what I can tell they are pretty much clustered together. Overall, this is a very pretty area with gorgeous green fields and lots of foothills all around.

For anyone looking into ranching or just being a bit more remote, this seems like a great place to be. It's so close to so much and yet when you're here it seems as if you're a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. The fields are so pretty and the whole area just has a serene feel to it.
Pros
  • very pretty area
Cons
  • no amenities
