There are beautiful homes, and there are properties whose setting is so extraordinary that the opportunity transcends the house itself. 700 Utica Avenue is one of those rare offerings tucked into one of Boulder's most coveted natural settings. Encompassing a private, gated one-acre parcel overlooking Wonderland Lake and the Flatirons, the property is surrounded by protected open space, creating a sense of privacy, scale, and permanence that cannot be replicated. From nearly every vantage point, the landscape is the defining experience. Expansive views stretch across the lake to Boulder's iconic Flatirons, while the surrounding open space creates an extraordinary natural backdrop and ensures a level of visual privacy rarely found within the city. The combination of water, mountains, protected land, and a remarkably private acre is what makes this setting so exceptional-and so difficult to recreate. The existing custom green-built residence was thoughtfully designed to take advantage of its remarkable surroundings, with generous living spaces, three main-level bedrooms, a dedicated study, and a private upper-level primary retreat. A functional kitchen, expansive family room with wet bar, spa-inspired primary bath with steam shower, fireplace, and private outdoor spaces provide an elegant foundation for living today. Yet the opportunity extends beyond the home that stands here. For those who envision something entirely their own, the property offers an extraordinary canvas upon which to create a residence worthy of its surroundings. Whether thoughtfully reimagined or replaced with a new architectural vision, the enduring value is the land itself-the rare intersection of privacy, natural beauty, open space, water, and iconic Boulder views. 700 Utica Avenue is not simply a remarkable home; it is a singular piece of Boulder, offering the opportunity to preserve what exists, transform it, or create something entirely new in a setting that cannot be replicated.
