Property Description
A Rare Opportunity on the Edge of Boulder! Discover the exceptional potential of this 18.29-acre property, nestled just beyond the city limits of Boulder. Comprising two distinct building lots-one featuring a modest home and garage-this remarkable offering combines natural serenity with urban convenience. One idea is to build your personal dream home on one parcel and have a large barn or garage with an apartment above on the other parcel. The current home site is a private and lush oasis. Set back from the road for added privacy, the land offers multiple ideal building sites, each boasting sweeping views of the iconic Flatirons and the majestic Back Range. Enjoy easy access to nearby hiking trails, while remaining just minutes from the heart of town. Ditch water rights are available and sold separately.
