Just 7 miles from Pearl Street's shops and restaurants and the University of Colorado Boulder, this location offers both convenience and tranquility. The Boulder Equestrian Center once operated here as a full-service riding facility, with programs focused on hunter-jumper. Riders came from BVSD and surrounding school districts, with strong adult participation. The center also hosted popular summer camps, creating meaningful community engagement and additional income. The three outdoor arenas include one large lighted arena for evening riding. Circle Pens,Riding trails nearby. A special use permit allows up to 45 animals along with commercial activities such as shows, camps, or clinics. Facilities include five barns configured for up to 45 stalls in a variety of layouts-open with runs or box stalls. Supporting features include a covered hayloft that can double as a party or picnic area, a 600 sq ft shop, ample trailer parking, and six acres of pasture. The three-bedroom, two-bath home, once occupied by the ranch hand, can be renovated, expanded, or replaced for an owner's residence. The property is set back from the highway with frontage that ensures visibility yet privacy. With city water, a well, and no HOA or city restrictions, this property combines rare infrastructure with flexibility. And with the Sundance Film Festival soon relocating to Boulder, the area's cultural appeal has never been stronger. Bring your ideas and creativity-make it your dream home.
