Tucked away in a private setting above the road, this move-in-ready home offers both comfort and charm. This two-bedroom features an open floor plan, a spacious pantry, and an efficient wood stove that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Double-pane wood windows and solar air panels heating (in additional to hot water baseboards) add to the home's energy efficiency. Set on a sunny, mostly level lot, the outdoor space is perfect for both relaxation and recreation. In the fully fenced yard you can enjoy a dedicated picnic area and a unique 25-foot climbing wall for a touch of adventure. Multiple decks provide ideal spots for entertaining or unwinding, while a charming balcony off the primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat. Additional highlights include a detached two-car garage and access to the welcoming Bar-K Ranch community. The voluntary HOA grants access to three well-stocked fishing ponds and horse stables, enhancing the lifestyle this property offers. With National Forest just steps away and even more to explore throughout the surrounding area, outdoor enthusiasts will feel right at home-all just 30 minutes from Boulder.
