MAGICAL FARMHOUSE SURROUNDED BY OPEN SPACE
Gorgeous views over Boulder Reservoir and the Continental Divide. Unique and rare, the only rental that is surrounded by Open Space along the Boulder Reservoir. This is a split-level house which is currently 3 bedrooms but originally 4 before a wall came down (could be put back to make two offices).
It's right by the Eagle Creek Trail. The house sits on 8 acres with neighboring horses pasturing on a different section of the land, and a pond big enough to fish or take a little raft out. The perfect place to be in nature, or have serene privacy. It even has it's own totem pole!
The barn you see in some pics is not included. Just the house and fenced yard and some shared access to the pond and acreage to walk around.
You can drive by if you'd like to get the overall feel of the place. You can even do this virtually on Google maps!
We can go on a "Zoom tour" if you are out of town.
Please know that this is a sweet but OLD farm house, with wild foxes, bobcats, prairie dogs, eagles, osprey, and sometimes snakes (harmless bull snakes) outside. It's as close to living in the wild right in Boulder but is not for everyone. It is a nature lover's paradise!
The pictures show furniture but it will be rented unfurnished. The house uses propane and septic and city water. It has a new, high-end, cold weather heat pump (mini split), so great in summer and winter. Renter pays utilities and has to pre-pay propane and water.
Term is a minimum of one year.
