RARE Fire-Resilient Mountain Sanctuary on 36.2 Private Gated Acres in Coveted Sunshine Canyon. Discover a true one-of-a-kind Boulder retreat just 10 minutes to downtown. This stunning 4,411 sq ft modern contemporary farmhouse survived the 2010 Four Mile Fire with its mature pines and aspens fully preserved - creating a lush, park-like oasis with exceptional natural fire resilience.

Highlights include a 45-ft private indoor lap pool (with new high-efficiency heat pump and fire cistern function), 10.56 kW solar PV system (~60% annual offset), custom walnut wine room, geothermal greenhouse (2024), tennis court, and 2,200+ sq ft of premium IPE fire-rated decks including a rooftop stargazing deck. Gourmet chef's kitchen with Wolf induction, Miele steam/convection appliances, and massive custom cherry island. Luxurious primary suite with air-jet spa tub and oversized steam shower. This sustainable, wellness-focused compound offers privacy, proven fire resilience, and timeless mountain luxury in one of Boulder's most desirable canyon locations. Offered with 2 1/2-car attached garage plus a structurally engineered 2-car carport with EV charger and Starlink connectivity. Plentiful hiking and biking trails nearby, Eldora Ski Resort 30 minutes away, and with the Sundance Film Festival arriving in 2027 for the next 10 years; home values will climb even higher!
