Historic Charm & Comfort: A Unique Opportunity at Boulder County's Landmark Farmstead
Opportunity awaits at this beautiful historic Boulder County farmstead. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and each of the buildings is landmarked by Boulder County. The property was featured on HGTV's Restore America. Historic buildings include the farmhouse, a barn, a granary, a grout milk-house/chicken-house, a pumphouse and a WPA privy. Built at the turn of the century, the farmhouse retains most of its historic fabric. Skillfully and professionally restored, the farmhouse includes original doors, doorknobs, pine flooring and original interior trim. The farmhouse has been updated with new wiring, insulation, plumbing, a 2nd floor bathroom, a new furnace and new vintage kitchen cabinetry with a marble countertop. The basement exhibits stone foundation walls from a local quarry. The terracotta tile masonry barn & silo was built in approx. 1920. The nearly 3,000 square foot barn includes a 2nd floor gathering space with exposed wood rafters soaring to a peak of 22 ft. A wide stairway with ADA railings accesses the 2nd floor. Vintage light fixtures and paddle fans accompany a Jotul stove to create an extraordinary welcoming space for family, group gatherings, farm dinners, and more. Outbuildings include an early grout (lime, sand, water) milk-house, a studs-out granary/garage, a pumphouse and a privy stamped Works Progress Administration. Handcrafted light posts with vintage light fixtures provide abundant exterior lighting. Mature trees include crabapple, redbud, apple, pear, blue spruce, oak, sumac, maple, hackberry, ash and more. Mature shrubs and rosebushes add to the beauty of the rural landscape. The farmstead has been included on the Boulder County Farm Trail map. The owners have extensive knowledge of local history, historic preservation, restoration, and custom building. A rare opportunity to build another house on the property and keep the existing historic farmhouse may be available through an application to Boulder County.
