This one-of-a-kind 12.3 acres - minutes from the Pearl St. Mall - evokes the openness of the plains of Boulder county over a century ago. At the end of a .3 mile long drive, the existing house is the only structure on the eastern shore of a private lake and has panoramic and unobstructed views of the foothills, Indian Peaks, Boulder's Flatirons and the very top of Mt. Meeker/Longs Peak and offers the privacy of a bygone era. In the spring the land comes alive with growth and green, the summers offer views of thunderstorms in the distance and the stars at night, and in the fall the days and nights cool as nature settles into winter. All the essentials for a special country estate are here: location, views and privacy and room for barn, corrals, etc. The existing 45 year old house is reminiscent of 19th century country homes along with 1980's passive solar elements (2X6 walls, two 22'+ tall concrete corner trombe walls and a sunroom ideally oriented to capture winter sun) and is ready for an overhaul or to possibly be replaced by a completely new home and is sold strictly "as is." Here's your chance to have exactly the home you desire instead of someone else's idea of it. The north property line is the city limits of Boulder - leaving the possibility of annexation and development years in the future.
