Living in a dream!


I have a thing for old houses and mansions. A couple of years ago the city of Highlands Ranch bought this mansion with plans to renovate it, and opened it to the public. This summer was it's grand opening. I have been wanting to see this building up close for years. I even took my parents to see it in the past, but it was owned by Shae Properties ( a home builder) and they kept it locked. Now you can wander around the grounds and enjoy it's grandeur. We decided to make the adventure a picnic!
Lorelei and Riley Loved the stairs. I guess we need a huge house and yard full of stairs.
Looking for the perfect spot for lunch.
Love, Love, Love the detail on this door!

We had the whole place to ourselves. It really felt like we lived here. It almost felt like I walked into my own version of the secret garden.
My kids had to explore every ounce of the property, even if it meant peaking through the windows.
