Remote neighborhood surrounded by nature
Located near the Lee Hill peak, Boulder Heights is a rural neighborhood of winding dirt roads that lead to rustic homes. The remote mountain town is surrounded by forests and grasslands, offering the quiet that comes with seclusion. “In the mountains up there, people are looking for more space and privacy,” says Real Estate Associate Nick Duncan with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, who is also a Boulder Heights resident. “People also like being connected with nature, and don’t mind the extra work it takes to get up there.”
Mountain homes in Boulder are known for their panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Boulder, Colorado, is a vibrant city located at the base of the Rocky Mountains.

Million-dollar mountain homes
Most homes in Boulder Heights are spread out along dirt roads, with plenty of land to go with them. “On the very top, there are some houses with 30 to 40 acres, so it’s a good amount of land,” Duncan says. Multi-story mountain homes are common, with wrap-around porches, picture windows and wooden siding. These properties range from 2,000 to 3,500 square feet and can cost $1 million to $1.5 million. Some of these homes have been fashioned to resemble rustic cabins, with fireplaces and A-frame architecture. There are also traditional single-story and modern contemporary homes with stone accents in the neighborhood. These are similarly priced between $1 million and $1.1 million. Luxury estates are rare in Boulder Heights, but there are a handful for upward of $3.5 million.

The community’s fire protection district
The Boulder Heights landscape means the community can feel the effects of extreme weather. “We get more weather up here than in town since the top of Boulder Heights is about 3,000 feet higher,” Duncan says. Piles of snow and fallen trees from thunderstorms can be hard to navigate on dirt roads that don’t get cleared quickly. The area’s natural landscape can also come with environmental challenges. Boulder Heights is at a possible risk of wildfires, which is why the Boulder Mountain Fire Protection District (BMFPD) has a station in the neighborhood. The district is comprised of over 50 volunteer firefighters and emergency medical personnel. Additionally, Station Two provides outreach and educational opportunities that spark community engagement.
On Overlook Lane you'll find a newly renovated fire house supported by the community and city.
