Discover a rare opportunity to own a beautiful piece of land in the Boulder foothills, offering two potential build sites and an exceptional connection to Colorado’s natural surroundings. Bordered on all sides by U.S. Forest Service land, this property provides direct access to public mountain wilderness, abundant wildlife, and an expansive natural setting. Elk migrate through the property, while a private hiking and biking trail used exclusively by neighboring residents winds through the landscape. Seasonal creeks, wild raspberries, and a peaceful mountain setting add to the property's natural appeal. Outdoor recreation is right outside your door, with Dream Canyon (above Boulder Falls) approximately a one-mile hike away. Nearby destinations include Betasso Preserve (5 miles) for hiking and mountain biking, Switzerland Trail (2.5 miles) for off-roading, Caribou Ranch Open Space (10 miles) for hiking, sledding, and cross-country skiing, Rainbow Lakes Trailhead (16 miles), and Brainard Lake Recreation Area (18 miles), home to some of Colorado's most scenic hiking routes, including Blue Lake, Mitchell Lake, and Lake Isabelle trailheads. Eldora Ski Resort is just 15 miles away, while Downtown Boulder and Pearl Street are approximately 11 miles away. Gold Hill Inn, a unique fine-dining destination and music venue, is also within reach at 17 miles. Enjoy an ideal balance of mountain seclusion and convenience, with incredible opportunities for outdoor adventure and access to nearby dining, shopping, and entertainment. A truly special opportunity to create your mountain retreat in a scenic and highly desirable Boulder-area setting. Home not included; however, existing renderings, drawings, and surveys will be included with the sale.
