Some properties offer a beautiful home. Others offer an opportunity that's nearly impossible to replicate. Welcome to 4963 Kelso Road, where more than two acres, breathtaking Flatirons views, and exceptional proximity to Boulder create something truly special! Located just outside Boulder city limits, offering the benefit of lower property taxes, this remarkable property combines the privacy and freedom of country living with the convenience of being just five minutes from Downtown Boulder. Walk to Boulder Reservoir, enjoy spectacular sunsets, and experience the best of Boulder's outdoor lifestyle while remaining close to exceptional dining, shopping, entertainment, and the world-renowned Sundance Film Festival, making its Boulder debut in 2027! The possibilities? As expansive as the views! Enjoy the existing home, thoughtfully modernize it, or explore the opportunity to create your dream estate. The well-loved five-bedroom residence is filled with warmth, character, and distinctive craftsmanship, featuring Italian and Vermont marble, reclaimed barn wood beams, river rock accents, and a one-of-a-kind kitchen island crafted from wood reclaimed from a decommissioned ship. Walls of windows frame the surrounding landscape and bring the beauty of Colorado indoors. A main-level office, private-entry studio or workshop, cozy living room, separate dining room with a wood-burning fireplace, and finished basement offer flexible spaces for living, working, gathering, and entertaining. Outside, mature landscaping, seasonal color, and a tranquil pond create a peaceful retreat. Existing fencing, shelters, and heated water lines offer exceptional opportunities for horses, livestock, chickens, gardening, and embracing the Colorado acreage lifestyle, which is becoming increasingly rare! Expansive acreage, iconic mountain views, privacy, lower property taxes, and the convenience of Boulder just minutes away. Live the Boulder lifestyle... Embrace the possibilities...Make it your own!
