Surrounded by open space and Colorado's iconic foothills, the land offers privacy, breathtaking sunsets, and mountain views from nearly every window.

The well-loved five-bedroom home is filled with warmth, character, and unique craftsmanship. A circular cobblestone driveway leads to an inviting interior featuring Italian and Vermont marble, reclaimed barn wood beams, river rock details, and a statement kitchen island wrapped in wood from a decommissioned ship. Walls of windows showcase the surrounding landscape, while a main-level office, private-entry studio or workshop, cozy living room, and separate dining room with a wood burning fireplace, and a finished basement provide flexible spaces for working, gathering, and entertaining.Outside, mature landscaping, seasonal color, and a tranquil pond create a peaceful retreat. Existing fencing, shelters, and heated water lines offer added possibilities for horses, livestock, chickens, gardening, or other acreage pursuits. Whether you are searching for a distinctive Boulder home, space to thoughtfully renovate, or an extraordinary homesite on which to start fresh, this property presents a rare combination of land, views, privacy, and proximity.
