There is a very special place that is surrounded by nature, yet 10 minutes north of Boulder. A place where your breath is taken away by the majesty of every sunset, but it is only 5 minutes from Lyons or Longmont. A place where bald eagles soar above you, elk bugle in your backyard and trout and bass jump out of your private pond. A place called Potato Hill Ranch. If you are looking for something away from the busy city, yet close enough to everything to even ride your bike to, this is what you dream of when you picture your perfect home. This 7.6 acre exceptional find is tucked away between Panchamama Organic Farm, Boulder's Buffalo Ranch and Windy Creek Equestrian Center with uninhibited views of the foothills. When you pull up to the rod iron solar gate with remote/key code, you are greeted by the original Potato Hill Ranch sign. Driving down the tree lined, recycled asphalt drive-way, confirms how special and unique this slice of heaven is. You are greeted by a waterfall flowing into a beautiful Koi pond complete with water lilies, and a beautiful FoxTail Pine and Mountain Elm. The completely remodeled 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 3,722 sq ft energy efficient and passive solar home is surrounded on 3 sides by over 400 acres of Open Space and is an entertainer's dream. It boasts a gourmet chef's kitchen; complete with a Dacor updraft six-burner professional gas range, a stainless steel Electrolux Profile double oven, granite countertops, large pantry and coffee station. Outside the kitchen, you will find a built-in BBQ, over 1,000 sq ft of decking with built in seats, fire pit, multiple pergolas and extensive landscaping. Inside, you are treated to a new, 700 sq ft master suite with granite dual sinks, a large Jacuzzi tub and dual-head steam shower that overlooks the small orchard while an attached deck give glorious private views of the mountains. The home has all new appliances throughout. You will find a granite wet bar with Heir beer dispenser and dual zone Heir wine cooler in the family/media room that has access to the 1Z2 bath with marble floors. There is an amazing woodstove in the great room with beetle-killed-pine on the ceiling, an executive office next to the downstairs suite, and a 100 bottle wine cellar that you access by a spiral staircase that can easily be expanded. The Maple hardwood floors flow seamlessly from the kitchen into slate tile in the living room and the flagstone floor of the dining room. The eco-friendly wool carpet throughout the rest of the home gives it a cozy yet elegant feeling. There are multiple built-ins sprinkled about, radiant heating throughout, R40+ foam insulation and a new high efficiency boiler. No detail was overlooked in the hand carved woodwork throughout the home, the magnificent wood beams, and local moss rock fireplace and stone pillar. The downstairs guest suit offers direct views of the pond, large walk in closet and spectacular bathroom with vessel sink and large pebble floored, marble shower. The main level guest suite has a gorgeous bathroom with slate floor and slate walls with a deep, 6' Jacuzzi style tub. The fully fenced ranch boasts a 1200 sq ft cemented floor 3 stall barn/workshop that is fully foam insulated, with water and 200 amp electric, and has an attached large pen. A fire-engine red chicken coop resides by the barn with enough room for 25+ chickens and there are an additional 2 large pens and outbuildings for livestock with water hydrants.

Two natural ponds flow through the wetlands behind the house into your own 1 acre pond with trout and bass.
