With flat, fertile ground and favorable growing conditions, the property could support crops such as hay or corn-typical of farms throughout the Berthoud area. While the acreage is not irrigated and likely wouldn't support a standalone farming operation, it provides a great opportunity for supplemental use or hobby farming that complements the equine lifestyle.

This property is more than just premier equestrian facilities - it comes with the opportunity for a seamless, turnkey operation. The barn is currently managed and operated by Verena Diaz, a Grand Prix-level dressage trainer with an international background in German dressage.

Verena instructs riders across multiple levels and maintains a reputation for excellence in training, horse care, and facility management. For buyers seeking a property that can continue operating at a high standard from day one, Verena is open to remaining involved as trainer and manager, offering continuity, expertise, and a built-in client base.

While her continued role is not required, her presence represents a unique option to step into an established equestrian facility with world-class instruction already in place. This combination of exceptional facilities and the option of ongoing professional management offers a buyer a rare chance to acquire an established and thriving equestrian lifestyle.
