5575 Saint Vrain Road

Description

A gated, Chanticleer pear tree-lined driveway opens onto 10 acres sustained by decreed water rights in Gifford Gulch (with a perennial stream flow), feeding a private 1/4-acre pond, 500 mature trees, and over 7 acres of irrigated lawn. All irrigation is managed by a professional-grade app-controlled Rainbird system. The property abuts 60 acres of private open space, and mature gardens and trees including a small apple orchard, keep the home largely screened from the road - a rare quality at any price point in Boulder County. The home was completely renovated, and the craftsmanship announces itself before you reach the front door: a hand-laid stone exterior sets the tone. Inside, oak floors run beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, and a see-through Isokern masonry fireplace anchors both the living room and the library - the latter finished with a built-in cocktail nook. Vast windows pull in natural light and frame sparkling pond views from nearly every room. The kitchen is built around quartzite countertops, hand-forged metal cabinetry, award-winning Crystal Cabinet lowers, and a BlueStar stove rivals Wolf and Viking. The primary bath is a proper retreat: radiant heated floors, an MTI stone shower basin, a 6-foot Juliet soaking tub with Graff filler, marble subway tile, and a custom cement trough sink. A den with private entry and full bath serves equally well as a guest suite or in-law quarters. The heated 3-car attached garage and a fully finished basement - daylit, with a gym and office - round out a luxury home. An expansive Azek deck opens onto lush grounds and open space beyond. Adding another 620 sq feet (not included in our numbers above) of finished space is a detached boutique garage/multipurpose studio, with matching stone exterior. An unincorporated Boulder County address delivers full Boulder access with a meaningfully lower tax burden.
