Find solace in the private and peaceful stucco home just 15 minutes above Boulder. This custom home has a unique open design with floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy spectacular year-round Foothills views. Passive solar allows for significant heat savings in winter and eliminates the need for air-conditioning even in the midst of summer. The home has newer roof, windows, and furnace. A large propane tank and high-capacity generator all add to the sense of self-reliance, comfort, and security. The nearly five-acre property borders National Forest with its pristine views but is a mere 15-minute easy scenic drive to downtown Boulder. Hiking and mountain biking trails are all around and the ski slopes of Eldora are only 15 minutes away. A 17-ft motorized domed observatory with custom telescope is included.
