7401 Nelson Rd, Longmont, CO 80503

Panoramic, unobstructed back range views from the Flatirons to Longs peak and beyond, on horse/farm acreage (zoned agricultural) within walking distance of award winning schools.  Pefect location to host farm to table events. This house offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of being close to schools and town while embodying the privacy and wildlife of rural Boulder county.   The strategic location of the house shields the public view of almost 3 fully fenced acres of horse property.  Bordering larger parcels contributes to the expansive feel and amazing views.  Mature trees are home to owls with daytime visits from hawks and bald eagles. The home features 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms.  First floor includes a dining room, great room, office and bonus room. Cook’s kitchen off the great room features custom cherry cabinetry, decor appliances, two dishwashers and walk-in pantry. The large private master suite, with 5-piece bathroom and walk-in closets, is oriented to frame views of both Clover Basin Reservoir and Long’s Peak beyond and is completed with its own spacious covered balcony. Attached garage with an oversize door can accommodate four vehicles (or toys) with room to spare. Property is fenced, ready for your horses including a loafing shed and is permitted for a barn. Located near the Sky Loop Trail for additional rides.  An additional bonus for anyone using the internet, this property’s connectivity is via Longmont’s NextLight, one of the fastest internet service providers in the nation. It appears the property does have some water rights through Dry Creek Ditch, per information that was provided to us when we bought the property. The ditch is located on the west side of the pasture. The farmer behind us mentioned it wouldn't be hard to pay for a share of water. The pasture has done well without having to water it and having two horses grazing on it. There is no barbwire from the pasture. The pasture is accessible from both the south east as well as the west side. Agricultural zoning allows for four animal units per acre. That's 12 animal units . An animal unit is equal to one full-size horse or one cow or five goats or sheep or 50 chickens.

In one of the crawl spaces, which is more of a cellar, the old coal chute can be seen. The previous owner, who added the second story in 1998, took the house down to the studs and replaced all the electrical. The plumbing is almost entirely copper, with the exception of some PEX to the sprinkler system. We have drawings for that architecture change. In the full bathroom on the first floor, the original fir flooring can be see. A number of the old doors were reused for interior doors (entry, dining room, pantry). The bathtub in the master bath was custom made by a local artist for the previous owner (and its size to accommodate his 6’5” frame).
