Set against the dramatic backdrop of Boulder's iconic Flatirons, 770 Circle Drive represents one of the most extraordinary opportunities to come to market in West Boulder in decades. Located in the coveted Chautauqua neighborhood, this remarkable 1.29-acre property captures sweeping panoramic views of the Flatirons, Boulder Valley, and city lights while offering rare privacy and a gently sloping, highly usable homesite. The existing residence spans 8,066 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, offering a substantial foundation for a thoughtful renovation or reimagining. However, what truly sets this offering apart is the flexibility it provides for the future. A highly coveted demolition permit-approved through September 5th and exceptionally difficult to obtain in this location-transfers with the property, creating a rare opportunity for a new owner to build a truly world-class residence. Conceptual designs by renowned architect Steve Dodd of Dodd Studio envision a striking modern home that maximizes the site's breathtaking views and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The renderings shown illustrate just one vision of what is possible on this extraordinary parcel. With direct proximity to Boulder's most beloved hiking trails, the cultural charm of Chautauqua, and the vibrant amenities of downtown Boulder just minutes away, this property offers a lifestyle that is both serene and connected. Whether restoring the existing residence or creating a new architectural masterpiece, 770 Circle Drive is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own and shape one of Boulder's most spectacular view properties.
