What's Changing In Masonville
Real estate in Masonville skews toward large rural acreage rather than typical subdivision lots — the Redstone Canyon neighborhood, for example, originated from ranches subdivided into 40-acre parcels in the late 1960s — so buyers should expect well-and-septic, larger-lot living rather than municipal utilities.

What It's Like To Live In Masonville
Things To Do In Masonville
Masonville sits right at the edge of Larimer County open space, with Horsetooth Reservoir and Horsetooth Mountain Open Space just minutes away — 29 miles of trails, boating, rock climbing, and the seasonal Horsetooth Falls (best seen during spring runoff). The historic Masonville Mercantile — now in its 130th season under new ownership after a 2024 sale — built in 1896 by town founder James Mason and reopened under new ownership in 2025, anchors the tiny community center. Redstone Canyon Road offers a scenic drive through the area, though most of the surrounding canyon is private ranch land.
Restaurants & Dining
Masonville itself has essentially no commercial dining — it's a tiny unincorporated crossroads community. The closest real options are back toward Loveland (Nordy's Bar-B-Que & Grill, Door 222 Food & Drink) or the restaurants of Old Town Fort Collins, both a short drive away.
