Creekside Ranch - Steve Remmert Group

Creekside Ranch
BOULDER, COLORADO
To touch the earth is to have harmony with nature.
~ Oglala Sioux
Overview / Location
Wildly private. Wonderfully close. This lodge-style home, reminiscent of the western architecture of
Montana and Beaver Creek, is nestled along South Boulder Creek, adjacent to thousands of acres of
preserved open space, and overlooks Boulder's mountain backdrop. Situated on 5.13 acres, this property
is perfect for horses or other animals ̶ or as a fly fishing retreat. The ranch is only 10 minutes from the
heart of Boulder and its country location south of town adds convenience and carves precious travel time
to DIA and Colorado's mountains. Eldorado Canyon State Park is only 5 minutes to the west. The perfect
combination of nature and access to the culture of Boulder.
Acreage
As one enters the property, it is evident that this equestrian
estate is proudly and meticulously maintained with expansive,
professional landscaping of trees, bushes and shrubs.
The acreage includes two fenced pastures with grass and plenty
of room for grazing or equipment storage. The main south
pasture is irrigated with large sprinklers utilizing water rights
associated with ¼ share of the Howard Ditch (appropriation
date of 1860; #1 water right on South Boulder Creek).
The driveway follows the post and rail fence bordering the
main horse pasture. As you approach the main house, the
circular driveway wraps around over a dozen mature pines. The
spacious stone patio steps down to a rich green lawn rolling to
the edge of South Boulder Creek. The property includes both
sides of South Boulder Creek. The riparian corridor is heavily
forested and offers abundant wildlife viewing.
Barn
Constructed by Barns by Gardner, the Barn was designed with
absolute functionality in mind. The barn architecture invokes the
classic western shed-roof design and features reclaimed barn wood
siding and log corner accents. A large, fenced paddock surrounds the
barn with 2 stalls on one side and a large open loafing area on the
other with 3 slip stalls for feeding. A loafing shed supplies shelter
in the main south pasture.
Other Features Include:
• Tack room
• Large hay storage above
• Feed and vet room
• Automatic waterers
• Large aisle for farrier & grooming
• Horse wash area
Live Water
South Boulder Creek runs through the property on its north end
providing an excellent fishery and wildlife habitat. Ranch owners can
delight in fishing for rainbow and brown trout on 282 feet of private
creek frontage. The property is one of the few that controls both sides
of South Boulder Creek.
An intimate log fishing cabin features a great deck and fantastic view
of South Boulder Creek. The cabin offers a true getaway for fishing,
listening to the birds, or a place to sit on the porch with a good book
amidst the sounds of nature.
The sound of live water can be heard from the main house. Whether
through an open window, the patio or an Adirondack chair next to the
creek, this waterfront experience is rare and unique.
Trout Pond
The pond on the property is stocked with large rainbow, brown and
brook trout. Two aerators help with winter conditions. The pond
provides an excellent opportunity to teach casting skills or land a large
fish at cocktail hour. This resource also attracts eagles, hawks, herons
and wildlife such as deer and bear.
Main House
The house is positioned just beyond the circular driveway that
welcomes you onto the property. Beautifully constructed with
warm-toned cedar logs from British Columbia at its entry and
accented with Chief Cliff grey stack stone from Montana,
rough-hewn walnut floors and western architectural influence,
the home conveys the essence of the surrounding countryside
and its extensive windows capture the views of the creek
corridor and mountains to the west.
