Home Details for 11050 N Foothills Highway

Elk Mountain Ranch encompasses 51.26 acres at the base of the foothills in Boulder County, just over 10 miles from Pearl Street. Featuring irrigated meadows, mature timber, fantastic views, historic agricultural improvements, and 85 shares of Lefthand Ditch water, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, agricultural utility, wildlife habitat, and future flexibility in one of Colorado's most tightly held regions. The 51.26 acre ranch sits where the plains transition into the foothills of Boulder County. The land is characterized by gently sloping topography, irrigated native grass pastures, a mature tree-lined drainage, and diverse wildlife habitat rarely found so close to Boulder. A defining feature is the extensive creek-bottom corridor with large cottonwoods, native shrubs, and dense vegetation creating a secluded environment that feels far removed from nearby development. Productive open pasture, additional meadows, and numerous vantage points overlook neighboring conserved acreage and portions of Foothills Reservoir. Unlike many properties of this size in Boulder County, Elk Mountain Ranch is not encumbered by a conservation easement. The improvements reflect generations of agricultural stewardship and contribute significantly to the property's character. The ranch includes a two-bedroom, one-bathroom residence with log siding and an elevated position overlooking portions of the property. Beneath the home is a multi-car garage that serves as equipment and utility storage. Additional improvements include a historic turkey barn, silo, bunkhouse, and various supporting agricultural structures. Preliminary evaluation suggests four existing structures may qualify for consideration as local historic landmarks, potentially offering benefits through Boulder County regulations, including additional Residential Floor Area considerations. The ranch has historically served as an agricultural property.
