A gated, Chanticleer pear tree-lined driveway opens onto 10 acres sustained by decreed water rights in Gifford Gulch (with a perennial stream flow), feeding a private 1/4-acre pond, 500 mature trees, and over 7 acres of irrigated lawn. All irrigation is managed by a professional-grade app-controlled Rainbird system. The property abuts 60 acres of private open space, and mature gardens and trees keep the home largely screened from the road. The home was completely renovated, and the craftsmanship announces itself before you reach the front door: a hand-laid stone exterior sets the tone. Inside, oak floors run beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, and a see-through Isokern masonry fireplace anchors both the living room and the library - the latter finished with a built-in cocktail nook. Vast windows pull in natural light and frame sparkling pond views from nearly every room. The kitchen is built around quartzite countertops, hand-forged metal cabinetry, award-winning Crystal Cabinet lowers, and a BlueStar stove rivals Wolf and Viking. The primary bath is a proper retreat: radiant heated floors, an MTI stone shower basin, a 6-foot Juliet soaking tub with Graff filler, marble subway tile, and a custom cement trough sink. A den with private entry and full bath serves equally well as a guest suite or in-law quarters. The heated 3-car attached garage and a fully finished daylit basement - with a gym and office - round out a luxury home. An expansive Azek deck opens onto lush grounds and open space beyond. Adding another 620 FINISHED SF (not included in our numbers above) is a detached boutique garage/multipurpose studio with matching stone exterior. This space has the potential as an ADU or GUEST HOUSE, fully insulated and with a designated electrical panel finished out for a hot tub or pool. Opportunity to add barns/horse sheds on property. An unincorporated Boulder County address delivers full Boulder access with a meaningfully lower tax burden.
