The backyard borders a 24-acre conservation easement for ultimate privacy. Nestled in the Napa Valley-like canyon in uncorporated Boulder County, this unique gem sits on nearly 3 acres with gorgeous natural granite outcroppings, Lyons sandstone, lodgepole pines, indigenous botannicals, fruit trees including: apples, pears, cherries, apricots, plums, chestnuts, mature lavender plants, & herbs woven throughout. The 9 sunlights bring the forest & mountain views into your space. The meditation trails throughout are stunning. The Frank LLoyd Wright-esque organic architecture of the home also features several recent remodels that include: a new boiler system, sunroom gas stove, Breckenridge granite counters, designer stainless steel appliances, quartz counters in all bathrooms, acacia & luxe vinyl floors throughout, new exterior stucco, windows, cistern pump, french drain, sprinkler system, and much more.
