Welcome to Sweet Home Ranch. A rare opportunity to own a 40-acre Sugarloaf ranch offering exceptional privacy, open space, and proximity to Boulder, bordered by BLM land and National Forest. Fully fenced and surrounded by open meadows, aspen groves with live springs, evergreens, and mountain views, the setting feels expansive, peaceful, and worlds away from the everyday while remaining conveniently close to town. The Pueblo-style adobe residence showcases timeless craftsmanship with hand-troweled plaster walls, exposed log beams, and Saltillo tile floors sourced from New Mexico. The single-story layout is thoughtfully designed for comfortable living and entertaining, with light-filled interiors and seamless flow throughout. The kitchen features custom blue beetle-kill pine cabinetry, a large island with a farmhouse sink, updated appliances, and a hand-crafted copper range hood. Living and dining areas are enhanced by two Kiva-style fireplaces, creating warm and inviting gathering spaces. The main-level primary suite includes its own fireplace, sitting area, and five-piece bath with soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms, a formal study with built-ins, a spacious mudroom, and laundry room complete the interior. Outdoor amenities include an in-ground pool, access to riding trails, and equestrian facilities zoned for four or more horses, including a barn with three-plus stalls, pasture, loafing shed, hay storage, and an apartment above the barn. A detached oversized two-car garage with an upper-level studio adds versatility. Energy-efficient features include a solar PV system and solar thermal in-floor heating. This is truly a rare opportunity to own space, privacy, and enduring craftsmanship in one of Boulder County's most picturesque settings.
