Home Details for 75 Sugarloaf Road

Perched above Boulder Creek, this 21-acre Sugarloaf property is an exceptional homesite for a mountain retreat just minutes from downtown Boulder. The south-facing site blends privacy, foothill views, mature evergreens, and dramatic rock outcroppings with the convenience of a well, septic, and power already in place - rare advantages for building in Boulder County’s most desirable mountain setting. The land features gently sloping ridgelines, a grotto with a spring, and adjacency to U.S. Forest Service land, offering both seclusion and access to thousands of acres of wilderness. Boulder Creek is within walking distance for fishing, while the property itself hosts established rock-climbing routes with potential for more. Carefully maintained and largely cleared of deadfall, the terrain is inviting and manageable. Recreation abounds with trailheads, biking, and backcountry exploration at your doorstep, plus easy access to Eldora Mountain Resort, the Indian Peaks Wilderness, and Betasso Preserve. Located in CPW’s Game Management Unit 29, the property also offers potential for hunting elk, mule deer, and wild turkey. At roughly 6,200 feet, the site enjoys four-season living with cool summers, snowy winters averaging seven feet of annual snowfall, and nearly 300 days of sunshine. The Sugarloaf area has a rich legacy, from Indigenous homelands to mining booms, and today is a thriving mountain community linked to Boulder’s cultural and academic energy. Less than 10 minutes from Pearl Street, the location balances tranquility with convenience, placing schools, shopping, dining, and healthcare all within easy reach. Architectural and engineered plans for a custom home, previously approved under earlier county standards, provide inspiration for design and site layout. (Under Boulder County’s current Residential Floor Area (RFA) standards, new development is limited to a maximum of 2,491 sq ft. Buyers are encouraged to confirm requirements with Boulder County Land Use staff.)
