Based in Timnath, Colorado, our family farm was originally established in 1871 and has long been a gem of this community. Taking ownership in the late 1970s, our family maintained the property for nearly 50 years, creating countless memories along the way.
There is truly no greater feeling than the experience of living on the land. To an outsider who has lived in the city, it is hard to explain, but imagine waking up to God's beauty shining over the horizon, the birds chirping and the locusts singing while you walk the property. To do that throughout the seasons, enjoying the little things as if they were the entire reason for existence—that is living life on the land to the fullest.
Although the farm is now sold, the hopes, dreams, and life we enjoyed here will live on in us for as long as we walk this Earth. As the farm transitions into its next phase, we want to say thank you to
Hartford Homes for keeping the spirit of Timnath and the Red Barn alive. We are deeply touched that the subdivision surrounding the barn has been adorned with streets in honor of our
Grandpa Dutch and the
Drehle family name. Additionally, the barn has been officially memorialized as the
Drehle Memorial Barn, and the surrounding 4-acre park is now called
Karel Drehle Park, in honor of our grandma.
The legacy of our family will live on forever as this site becomes home to hundreds of new families. The farm truly was at the root of our origin story, and we hope you find inspiration in our little old farm as you begin your own land ownership journey. Enjoy the little things in life; at the end of the day, they make life worth living to the fullest!
