| Summary |
| Almost 50 acres of immaculate farmland w/ 73 shares Left Hand Ditch in central Boulder Valley. |
| Boulder County Horse Ranch |
This is an immaculate, well planned property and an extremely valuable asset in a county where permits to erect a facility such as an indoor arena are becoming ever more difficult to obtain. It is located in a prestigious area in central Boulder County, just blocks away from Highways 119 and 52 (which serve Boulder and Longmont), has easy access to Denver, and yet is close to Colorado’s Front Range. The beautiful Left Hand Creek flows year round through the full northern length of the property.
The forty-nine acres that make up the property include twenty-five of sub-irrigated, high-yielding alfalfa and a further ten or so under grass hay, irrigated with 73 shares of Lefthand Water. The one-acre, stocked pond, fitted with two aerators provides an excellent system for watering the landscaped areas. The pond was professionally designed and constructed with fishing holes, areas for spawning fish, a sandy beach, and a large water feature with falling pools. It provides fun, leisurely boating. Around the pond is an extensive network of irrigation piping serving an array of spray and drip lines coming from a pumphouse on the banks of the pond.
The front of the property is demarcated by white vinyl fencing with an inviting, paved circular drive up to a gorgeous Tudor style, 4,134 sq. ft. home. This solid, red-brick clad home features stucco and stone accents and was built by one of Boulder County’s premier builders and finished with exceptional cherry woodwork and maple floors. The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom house also includes an exercise room, a study, a large dining room, a cozy living room, a sunroom, a kitchen made for a gourmet chef, a large great room, and two sunny, polygonal rooms – one a breakfast nook, the other a workout room. An attached three-car garage with a useful workspace is tucked away behind the structure. The fenced yard is well maintained and landscaped. The many mature trees on the property were augmented with innumerable shrubs, trees and perennial flowers making for long seasons of summer beauty. An area of older, fruit-bearing trees and several garden boxes provide an outlet for the weekend gardener. Also, an orchard has been established on the northwest corner of the property.

The farm has been used as a horse breeding and training facility centered round the 84’x140’ barn and indoor arena. The barn has great lighting and ample room to train with a driving cart, five 12’x12’ stalls, three 12’x18’ foaling stalls, a wash bay, and a tack room. Heaters and an aerial bug spray system provide a high degree of comfort during the season extremes. The front side of the barn incorporates a large, multi-purpose room with a laundry, bathroom and shower on the main floor and an immaculate, fully equipped, one-bedroom apartment upstairs. Outside, an Olympic-regulation-size 20m x 60m dressage arena and a round pen complete the training facilities.
Other buildings on the property include a hay barn high enough to accommodate a stacker and with capacity for 8 stacks of hay, four 12’x24’ loafing sheds, and a 12’x30’ storage garage shed. Along the creek is an exceptionally appealing, protected riding area, which could be upgraded to a hunter-jumper course as the footing is particularly good. |
