Property Description
Two miles south of Gold Hill & 20 minutes to downtown Boulder, this custom tiny house sits on 3.38 acres at 7,400 feet, an unusually flat homesite perched high on the hillside with huge 360-degree views. The property is adjacent to National Forest, a mature aspen grove borders the lot, & absence of city light pollution delivers spectacular night skies. Built bespoke in 2021, the home blends old charm with modern construction and exceptional energy efficiency: SIP walls & roof, triple-pane windows, thoughtful solar orientation & shading, standing-seam metal roofing, durable IPE & standing-seam metal siding, & engineer-designed support structure. Wildfire Partners certified w/ current defensible space, interior fire sprinklers & 5000 gal fire supression cistern. Inside, reclaimed Colorado barnwood ceilings rise to 11 ft above bamboo floors, creating a warm, airy interior that lives much larger than its footprint. The 280-square-foot conditioned interior includes a full-size kitchen w/ breakfast bar, 3/4 bath w/ pocket door, combination washer/dryer, queen loft, & cleverly integrated storage. The loft brings usable interior space to over 300 square feet, while the expansive 348-square-foot deck is perfectly positioned to take in the Sugarloaf views. Modern systems include all-electric mini-split heat pump, heat recovery ventilators, tankless water heater, WiFi thermostat, exterior cameras, Xcel electric (on grid) & Starlink internet. Private well & 2021 septic system. Level homesite offers potential for a future larger residence or ADU, subject to county approval. Year-round access via steep 0.5-mile dirt road. No HOA. Quick access to Switzerland Trail & Betasso Preserve for MTB & offroad enthusiasts. Eligible for Boulder County short-term rental licensing. Offered furnished or semi-furnished - a turnkey mountain retreat, full-time escape, or thoughtfully designed basecamp near Boulder. Showings by appointment only; please do not drive to the property unannounced
