5875 Monarch Rd, Longmont, CO 80503

Life slows down a notch on this country lane, just 8 minutes from Boulder, surrounded by open space--with Flatirons views in one direction and Haystack Mountain views in another. Here, a windmill quietly whirls in the breeze, tall grasses sway, birdsong surrounds you and mountain views are everywhere you look. On 5-plus acres, you'll find an elegantly finished 3-bedroom farmhouse, a charming one-bed, one-bath guest cottage, an artist's studio, and a huge workshop outbuilding. The main home is filled with sunlight and character, with an enclosed, rocking-chair-ready front porch, a flagstone patio and fireplace for roasting marshmallows under the stars, a cheery living room with a stone fireplace for toasty gatherings, and a vintage grain silo converted into an amazing, circular master dressing room. Wide-plank hardwoods and sophisticated finishes run throughout, including the kitchen, which features gleaming granite, a massive island and pastoral views out the window over the sink.
