Escape to your private 1.77-acre Colorado sanctuary in Boulder’s coveted Sugarloaf area! Nestled into a protective mountain gulch that naturally shields the property from heavy winter winds, this stunning retreat perfectly combines mountain character with complete peace of mind. A set of front stairs leads to a large deck that steps right into a light-filled main level combining the dining room, living space, and kitchen. Vaulted T&G ceilings and skylights flood the main area with natural light, while a classic wood-burning stove in the dining room creates a warm ambiance. An indoor wood nook, fully stocked at listing, keeps firewood close, complemented by a large stack in the front yard ready to split. The kitchen features butcher block countertops, an adjacent laundry room, and a full suite of newer appliances. A spacious main-floor bedroom and a full bathroom round out this level. Upstairs, a versatile open loft overlooks the lower living area and leads into the expansive primary suite, complete with its own private full bath and a generous walk-in closet. The lower level includes a third secondary bedroom along with direct interior access to the attached 2 car garage. Designed for outdoor enjoyment, the newly installed flower beds are seeded with Rocky Mountain native wildflowers, promising a breathtaking explosion of seasonal color every spring. This property has been meticulously upgraded and maintained for effortless, reliable mountain living. It features a 30-gallon water heater installed in 2023, electric baseboard heating, an active radon mitigation system, all-new interior electrical outlets and lighting fixtures, and minimal flood risk. A pre-wired generator panel connects an included portable gas generator directly to key electrical circuits. Complete with a septic system serviced in July 2026, this Sugarloaf treasure offers rare privacy, stunning surroundings, and easy access to downtown Boulder, Nederland, Peak-to-Peak Highway, and National Forest.
