5567 Lefthand Canyon Dr

Description

Discover a rare 2.75-acre property nestled along one of Boulder County's designated Scenic Byways, offering unmatched privacy and natural splendor. This unique parcel borders thousands of acres of U.S. Forest Service land on two sides and Buckingham Park on the third, creating a protected mountain sanctuary just 12 minutes and 7 miles from North Boulder. A recent Boulder County Site Plan Review allows for a residence up to 3,579 square feet and an optional 20-foot treehouse, blending elevated design with immersive nature. Two home designs are already approved one fully engineered offering a seamless path to building your retreat. All essential groundwork has been completed, including a well, septic permit, SWQP, FDP, LIDAR survey, Geotechnical Reports, and Bridge and Septic Engineering. Fire mitigation has been completed and permitted through Boulder County. The engineered bridge built to HS20 fire department standards (20t/36t max load) cost over $200,000 and provides secure access to the pre-excavated homesite. The property also includes approximately $20,000 worth of river rock and boulders for landscaping, plus reclaimed bridge timbers ready for creative reuse. Outdoors, enjoy nearly 600 feet of year-round trout stream meandering through the land, featuring a waist-deep swimming hole at the downstream end perfect for summer relaxation. The property teems with wildlife, including deer, moose, bear, bobcats, mountain lions, and even the rare ringtail cat. A dozen young fruit trees have been planted, and wild raspberries and chokecherries thrive naturally. Located just a short walk or ride from the Lefthand Canyon trail system, you'll have instant access to world-class hiking, biking, and backcountry exploration. This is more than a homesite-it's a legacy property where every detail of mountain living has been thoughtfully prepared for you to begin your next chapter in one of Boulder County's most treasured canyons.
