Littleton Real Estate | Littleton Historic Property Manor House

Windows open on the spires of Red Rocks Ampitheatre and the dramatic Front Range. This is the view from the historic Manor House, which still has its original electricity and plumbing from the early 19th century, several private rooms for groups or intimate dinners, and a large inviting patio. Menu favorites include thick, juicy slabs of salmon stuffed with Brie and crab, New York strip steak and signature roast prime rib. The twilight and lounge menus cater to diners who want to experience the restaurant at a lower price.

The unfortunate thing is it seems the Manor House cannot maintain the same ownership over the years. It is going on the market after less than one-year operation under T&T LLC and Michael Shinn management. The property, which Shinn purchased for $2.4 million last year, is soon to go on the market once again.

A tenuous relationship has existed between Shinn and Ken Caryl residents since Shinn proposed a number of additions to the building last fall. The restaurant reopened in October. Larry Griewisch, who initially operated the restaurant for Shinn, opted out of his contract last winter because improvements were not made.

The site’s official development plan allows zoning for a restaurant or for commercial or residential purposes. When Shinn initially bought the property, it was to be the home of his business, National Home Buyers Assistance. But because of perceived demand, the building was again established as a restaurant.

John Shaffer, a former owner of the Rocky Mountain News, built the Manor House. More recently, it has been a restaurant and popular wedding destination because of its hilltop setting and unobstructed views of Denver and the Rocky Mountains.

The building is listed as a two-bedroom, three-bath American Georgian-style home. It will continue operating as a restaurant while on the market until sold yet again to the next prospective owner.
