871 Bluebird Ln, Lafayette, CO 80026
What's special
Rarely does a property offer this combination of privacy, protected open space, and convenience. Set behind a gated entrance on 1.65 acres and surrounded on three sides by City of Boulder Open Space, this exceptional retreat showcases breathtaking views of the Flatirons, Indian Peaks, and the Front Range, creating a sense of seclusion and natural beauty that is increasingly rare in Boulder County. Despite its tranquil setting, Downtown Louisville and Boulder are just minutes away. Offering the very best of Colorado living, the property presents a rare opportunity to create a private estate with room for gardens, outdoor recreation, and future ADU potential. Whether envisioned as a peaceful retreat, a multi-generational property, or a legacy home surrounded by nature, the possibilities are as expansive as the surrounding landscape. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and sustainability, the home is fully electric and features a highly efficient geothermal heat pump system for year-round energy-conscious living. Electric connections for vehicle charging capability further complements a modern, forward-thinking lifestyle. Inside, expansive windows fill the home with natural light while framing spectacular mountain and open space views from nearly every room. The living room serves as a warm and inviting gathering space, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and surrounded by the beauty of the landscape. A custom spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where bedrooms overlook dramatic mountain vistas. The lower level provides flexible living and recreation space, ideal for entertaining, relaxation, or hosting family and friends. Outdoors, multiple gathering spaces invite you to fully experience the property's extraordinary setting. A truly rare Boulder County offering, defined by a gated entrance, protected open space, iconic mountain views, sustainable living, and exceptional proximity to both Louisville and Boulder. This is Colorado living at its finest.
