Welcome to 818/850 Riverside Drive - a one-of-a-kind St. Vrain Riverfront compound where you can actually live the Colorado dream and make the numbers work. Picture waking up in the main cabin with the sound of the river outside your window, coffee on the deck, and 300 feet of private river frontage as your backyard. Then-while you enjoy the lifestyle-the other two cabins can generate meaningful income as short-term rentals or guest suites.This property offers a rare, flexible setup: three separate historic cabins on approximately 1.11 acres, thoughtfully positioned for privacy, gatherings, and that "mini-resort" feel that's nearly impossible to replicate in Boulder County. Use it as a multi-generational family compound, a personal mountain retreat with built-in guest space, or an owner-occupant strategy where you live in the larger main cabin and rent the Ranch cabin and Small cabin to offset ownership costs.The experience is all about the outdoors: expansive riverside space to relax, fish, entertain, and unwind in a setting that feels worlds away-yet you're perfectly placed between Lyons and Estes Park, with Rocky Mountain National Park just up the canyon. Spend your days hiking, rafting, fly fishing, and mountain biking, then come home to the calm of your own private river corridor. Lyons' restaurants, breweries, and music scene are close by, and Boulder is an easy drive when you want city convenience.Properties offering this combination-multiple cabins + substantial river frontage + location + flexibility-rarely come available. Whether your vision is "live in one, rent two," a legacy family getaway, or a riverfront retreat you can share with friends (and monetize when you're not using it), 818 Riverside is the kind of asset people look back on and wish they'd bought.
