Property Description
Located on what is arguably the best lot in Spring Gulch Estates. Expansive views. This home was thoughtfully designed and engineered to live like a single story ranch home optimally designed for aging-in-place or retirement living, but also makes an ideal family home or friends and family mountain retreat. Relative to other properties of it's kind in Colorado, this sanctuary-like property is relatively easy to live in. No Daniel Boone skills are required to live here. However, if you want to go out and chop wood occasionally, or go for a nature hike, the relatively mild climate and lower elevation makes it all easy. When you return from your outdoor activities, and you've decided you'd like to go out for dinner, a short drive into town gets you to a large number of very good restaurants and cafes to chose from. Boulder is an easy 40 minute drive. Where else are you going to find a lifestyle such as this one offers, a very private nature retreat within a short drive of Lyons, Boulder, Denver International Airport, and the Denver metro area? For private plane owners, Longmont's Vance Brand Airport is only 29 minutes away. This beautiful home's location offers the best of several worlds, combined into one beautiful place to call the "ultimate forever home". Two springs on the property, one of which is adjudicated. Spring Gulch Estates has been designated as a wildlife preserve, frequented by deer, elk, moose, wild turkeys, etc. Hunting is not permitted in Spring Gulch. The barn has stalls for three horses and a tack room. The overall design of the home has low-maintenance as one of its design criteria. Another feature is the strong connection to the outdoors and the breathtaking views from every corner of the home. Horses are allowed, 3 stall barn, and 10 acre of pasture turnout.

Request NowArea Description
The 36 acre parcel is arguably the prime parcel within what was previously the Colard Ranch, a working cattle ranch situated close to Lyons but along the stagecoach route to Estes Park. The subdivision of the Colard Ranch, approximately 40 years ago, rendered "Spring Gulch Ranch Estates". The original ranch was located primarily in Larimer County, but the upper area where the property is located falls within Boulder County. Most of the Spring Gulch Estate lots are in Larimer County, and are typically 7 to 10 acres in size. There are about 6 lots in Boulder County, ranging in size from 35 to over 70 acres. The Boulder properties not only have larger lots, but typically also larger houses. Several of the homes that are located within Boulder County have turned over in the last decade, either as summer homes or as year round residences.
There is no Home Owners Association. However, the gravel roads in Spring Gulch are private and are maintained and plowed by the Spring Gulch Road Maintenance Association. There is a yearly assessment for this road maintenance function, and is currently $480 for this year (2024). There is a gated access to National Forest trails from this private road system. In addition to the nearby National Forest land, this property (95 Rowell Drive) abuts a large tract of land to the South that is under a conservation easement limiting further development. The old MacGregor Toll Road (also called the Estes Park Stagecoach road) crosses the property, and a small spur road departs from the main road and crosses the property's seasonal stream. The old stone footings for a bridge across this stream are still visible.
Additionally, the entire Spring Gulch Estates development has been designated as a protected wildlife sanctuary. This ensures that you will enjoy the beauty of wildlife in the area. Heads of elk and deer frequent the whole area, and wildlife migrates through it on a seasonal basis.
