Thick forestry covers Bonanza Mountain Estates, a remote neighborhood east of Nederland that sits at the base of Hurricane Hill. The area’s natural landscape creates a sense of peace and seclusion to go along with plenty of outdoor recreation. The neighborhood remains close to retail and restaurant options with downtown Nederland only 3 miles away.
Homes in Bonanza Mountain Estates are surrounded by tall aspen pine trees on acres of property. Contemporary mountain homes with porches are common, with wooden siding and large picture windows. Some are designed to resemble cabins in the woods, while others are standard multi-story homes. These properties range from 2,000 to 2,800 square feet and can cost $700,000 to $850,000. There are also a handful of rustic single-story homes as small as 800 square feet that can cost roughly $425,000.
Bonanza Mountain Estates’ proximity to Hurricane Hill provides a path to the outdoors. Within the hill’s surrounding forests, there is camping, hiking, biking, climbing and hunting. Barker Meadow Reservoir is a man-made body of water roughly 2 miles southwest of the neighborhood. “It’s a beautiful site with the Continental Divide Mountain range in the background,” says Liz Ford, real estate broker and owner of Ford & Co Realty, who has over 30 years of experience. Shoreline fishing along the reservoir is popular, with multiple types of trout swimming in the waters. A couple of hiking trails wind around the lake with beautiful views. Swimming and boating are not allowed, since the water is utilized by the city of Boulder. The Nederland Community Center has indoor facilities, including a fitness center, a basketball court and a dance studio. Every Friday and Saturday, the center hosts movie nights for the community.
Since the neighborhood itself lacks a commercial retail hub, traveling 3 miles west to downtown Nederland is required for shopping and dining out. Nederland’s East 1st Street is lined with a handful of novelty shops like Rustic Moose and clothing stores like Wings of Lace Boutique. New Moon Bakery & Café serves breakfast, including gourmet coffee and baked goods. There’s also Busey Brews Smokehouse & Brewery, with house craft beer and smoked meats. When it comes to home-cooked meals, Mountain People’s Co-op is a member-owned grocery store that has fresh produce and a selection of bulk goods. There’s also the B & F Mountain Market on Lakeview Drive.
Children living in Bonanza Mountain Estates can start their education at Nederland Elementary School. The school earns an A-minus grade from Niche and has an English Language Development program for multilingual students. Nederland Middle-Senior High School maintains a B grade. Ranked as the No. 13 Best High School for the Arts in Colorado, according to Niche, Nederland Middle-Senior has a nationally recognized Performing Arts department with both music and theater programs. “Our son graduated from Nederland High in a class of about 50 kids receiving full-ride scholarships to MIT, Carnegie Mellon and more,” Ford says.
The neighborhood roads of Bonanza Mountain Estates make one giant loop, with the main thoroughfare, Ridge Road, cutting through the middle. Aside from Ridge Road, all the streets are unpaved dirt paths. State Highway 119, also known as Boulder Canyon Drive, is a couple of miles south of the neighborhood and can take commuters to Boulder, 17 miles away. There’s also an RTD bus stop near Barker Meadow Reservoir at CO 119 & Hurricane Hill Road.
