A rare opportunity to own one of Colorado's most thoughtfully designed and soulfully restored gentleman's ranches. Just minutes from downtown Niwot and Boulder, this secluded yet central 8.8-acre estate offers panoramic mountain views from Pikes Peak to Longs Peak, the Flatirons, and Boulder's city lights.
Original design by renowned solar architect Richard Crowther and reimagined from 2017-2022, Haystack House is a masterclass in sustainable luxury, modern design, and timeless craftsmanship. The residence blends passive solar architecture with hydronic heated floors, Kolbe commercial-grade windows, and solar energy for year-round efficiency.
Highlights include a one-acre stocked pond with island, fire pit, footbridges, dock, and water rights - this property has an irrigation system fed by 45 total water shares (20 Left Hand + 25 New Table Mountain). A custom 1,200-SF Morton Barn with 28-foot ceilings, heated slab, kitchenette, workshop, and solar panels - ideal for hobbies, artists, or future ADU/equestrian conversion.
Inside, the chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, Thermador appliances, Lefroy Brooks fixtures, and dual dishwashers. Multiple living and guest suites with spa-like baths and private entries create flexible options for multi-generational living or Airbnb potential. The lower level includes a gym, steam shower, lounge, kitchenette, and vineyard-facing patio.
Artisan details include 23' cedar-beamed ceilings, Beetle Kill Pine floors, bespoke hardware, and a penny-tiled powder room - reflect thoughtful craftsmanship throughout. Outdoors, enjoy chicken coops, gardens, vineyard, asparagus field, and a dog run for a self-sustaining lifestyle.
Surrounded by organic farms and open space, Haystack House offers serenity, privacy, and starry skies just minutes from Boulder's creative scene - an inspiring retreat for collectors, visionaries, and future members of the Sundance Film Festival community seeking a cinematic Colorado backdrop.
