234 deer lane

Escape the high costs of North Boulder and the high-altitude hassles of Nederland for a home that truly breathes with the seasons. 234 Deer Lane is a "warm nest" that envelops you in luxury while keeping you viscerally connected to nature. On the scenic 'slalom drive' up from Lyons, your shoulders relax the moment you turn the bend to find this sanctuary nestled into the fold of the mountain. This "Lyons Basecamp" offers a sophisticated, no-headache alternative to dated mountain properties. The main level features an inviting great room with a wall of windows designed for "forest bathing" from your sofa, framing serene pines and frequent visits from elk, deer, and foxes. The updated kitchen shines with granite countertops and modern appliances, while a bright office makes remote work an inspiring retreat from the stresses of the world. Step outside to the 1,000+ sq ft wrap-around deck where the concepts of "touching grass" and living in the rhythms of light are everyday norms. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms include a primary suite with a private deck for marveling at the stars. Investment & Efficiency: The fully finished walkout basement-with a bedroom, bath, and kitchenette-is an ideal au-pair suite or guest quarters with a separate entrance. Unlike the inefficient heating found in many mountain homes, the high-efficiency Burnham Series 2 boiler provides durable, even warmth, letting you linger by the hearth while the snow blows outside. With a 3-car garage, newer roof, newer water heater, and radon mitigation, the "alive wildness" of the mountains comes with total peace of mind. You get double the square footage and four times the land of a North Boulder lot, with the charm of Lyons just 10 minutes away. Become the next steward of this enlivening retreat-a daily vacation and a visceral connection to the wild, only one hour from DIA. Experience the best value in the Front Range mountains.
