Situated 3 miles from downtown, this 80-acre parcel offers the seclusion and serenity of country living just minutes from Boulder's conveniences. Established by the current owner's grandfather in 1893, The Mckenzie Farm and Nature Preserve is perfectly suited for a modern organic farm operation, a peaceful retreat, or a private residence. The stunning and fertile land boasts sweeping views from Longs Peak to the Flatirons and is home to owls, fox, deer, wild turkey, eagles, hundreds of towering cottonwoods, wild plum trees and 3500 feet of lazy Four Mile Canyon Creek. The farmhouse features new paint throughout, new quartz kitchen counters, new decking, a brand new hot water heater, new complete well water system with filtration, and a new roof. Other structures include a working 1,200 SF greenhouse with 1K SF of bench space, barn, chicken coup, and produce cooling building. Most importantly, this property has senior creek rights and 21 Class A shares of Boulder & White Rock Ditch.
