Description
Perched above Boulder Creek, this 21-acre property is an ideal homesite for your dream mountain retreat just minutes from Boulder. The south-facing site offers privacy, foothill views, mature trees, and dramatic rock outcroppings. With a well, power, and septic already in place, plus direct access to National Forest, it provides a rare head start on building in one of Boulder County's most desirable mountain settings.The property encompasses 21.05 acres of varied mountain terrain, blending gently sloping ridgelines with stands of mature evergreens and dramatic rock outcroppings. Its western edge borders U.S. Forest Service land, offering both seclusion and direct access to thousands of acres of protected wilderness. A grotto with a spring, excellent views, and a setting above Boulder Creek add to the appeal. The land has been carefully maintained and largely cleared of deadfall, making it both inviting and manageable. With a well, septic system, and electrical service already in place, the property is well prepared for future development while retaining the natural character that defines the Sugarloaf area. A soil report and wildfire mitigation plans are available upon request. The seller has architectural and engineered plans for a custom home that received prior county approvals under earlier regulations. These plans provide a useful baseline for site layout and design inspiration and are available to buyers upon request. Since that time, Boulder County has adopted new Residential Floor Area (RFA) standards, which now limit new residential development on this parcel to a maximum of 2,491 sq ft. (Adopted in 2025, these regulations apply countywide and were intended to promote neighborhood compatibility, preserve affordability, limit property tax spikes for longtime residents, and advance sustainability goals by discouraging oversized, energy-intensive homes. Buyers are encouraged to consult Boulder County Land Use staff regarding current requirements and how they may affect future development.) Surrounded by Boulder County's legendary outdoor amenities, the property is a gateway to year-round adventure. Trailheads, world-class hiking and biking, and direct access to National Forest land put miles of exploration at your doorstep. The property itself offers opportunities for rock climbing, with established routes already in place and potential for new route development, and you can walk down to Boulder Creek for fishing. Just 30 minutes away, Eldora Mountain Resort offers skiing and snowboarding, while the Indian Peaks Wilderness and nearby backcountry provide endless backpacking opportunities. The area also supports ATV exploration, mountain biking, and hiking at destinations such as the Betasso Preserve, giving you access to the best of Colorado's outdoor lifestyle without ever leaving your backyard. In addition, the property lies within Colorado Parks & Wildlife's Game Management Unit 29, where hunters may find opportunities to pursue elk, mule deer, and wild turkey, further adding to the variety of recreation available. A private exempt domestic well has already been drilled, offering a significant advantage for future residential use. The property conveys with no surface water rights, and mineral rights are excluded from the sale. 75 Sugarloaf sits in the foothills between Boulder and Nederland at an elevation of roughly 6,200 feet. The area enjoys four distinct seasons, with sunny summers, cool evenings, and snowy winters averaging more than seven feet of annual snowfall. The property's southerly aspect is a key advantage, providing abundant light and warmth in the winter months while helping to limit snow accumulation on the homesite. Thanks to the higher elevation, summer days are noticeably cooler than in town, and the region as a whole is famous for averaging nearly 300 days of sunshine each year. The Sugarloaf area traces its roots back to the late 1800s, when miners settled the high ridges west of Boulder in search of gold, silver, and later tungsten; at one time, Boulder County was the tungsten capital of the world, and Sugarloaf's mining camps thrived during the early 1900s boom. Many of today's winding mountain roads follow the same routes once used to haul ore and supplies, preserving a tangible connection to Colorado's mining heritage. Long before European settlement, these foothills were part of the traditional homelands of the Ute, Arapaho, and Cheyenne peoples, who relied on the land's abundant game, fresh water, and seasonal plant life. The valleys and creek corridors served as hunting grounds and travel routes, while the higher ridges provided vantage points and connections to the Continental Divide. Today, Sugarloaf's cultural identity reflects this deep Indigenous history, the legacy of gold and tungsten mining, and the character of a modern mountain community where longtime residents, artists, outdoor enthusiasts, and professionals seeking quiet retreats all contribute to its spirit. With Boulder just minutes away, Sugarloaf remains tied to the city's cultural and academic energy while retaining the independence and character of a historic mountain enclave. Although it feels worlds away, this homesite is less than a 10-minute drive from Boulder's city limits and only a short trip to the Pearl Street Mall. The setting combines the tranquility of a secluded mountain cove with the convenience of quick access to one of the nation's most celebrated small cities. Boulder offers outstanding amenities, from the University of Colorado's cultural and sporting events to Pearl Street's dining, shopping, and galleries. The city provides excellent grocery and retail options, including national chains and natural markets, along with a renowned farmers market. Boulder Community Health delivers full-service medical care, and Denver International Airport is less than an hour away. The city is known for its active lifestyle, with abundant trails, open space, and a strong cycling and wellness culture. Beyond Boulder, recreation abounds at Eldora Ski Resort, the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, and Rocky Mountain National Park-all within easy reach. The property is served by the Boulder Valley School District, with designated community schools including Flatirons Elementary, Casey Middle School, and Boulder High School-all within a 15- to 20-minute drive.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible experience here. Constantly made fun of and picked on by students and teachers treated me like a total idiot. Went from being respected by peers and teachers at my old school to ridiculed and laughed at by the entire class.Other Review2mo ago - Casey Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCasey Middle has changed so much in just two years! When our daughter started as a 6th grader in the fall 2021, it was a mess. We almost transferred her based on the poor leadership and chaotic environment. Honoring that many of the issues were caused by COVID, it was still struggling compared with other boulder middle schools. However, the new principal, Dr. Bryant Shaw, is simply fabulous. He started in fall 2022 and his presence has completely changed the energy and culture of Casey! The teachers seem happy to be there, the students feel safe and known and he is seriously invested in the community. It's amazing what a caring, motivated principal can do in a short time. There is still work to be done to get the school back up to its pre-COVID reputation but its clearly on the right track now.Parent Review2y ago - Flatirons Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Flatirons! They offer excellent programs for kids of all abilities, and I’ve been especially impressed by the diversity of what they provide, such as guest speakers, STEAM programs, community involvement, and extracurricular opportunities. The teachers are incredibly supportive and genuinely care about the wellbeing and growth of their students.Because it’s a smaller school, students receive much more individualized attention, which has made a big difference for our family.Parent Review4mo ago
