About This Home
The Boone Quarry is located in Boulder County, CO near the town of Lyons. Spanning 56.71 +/- acres, this unique holding has a one of a kind foot print left behind from once operating as a red rock quarry. Between the pond, red rock outcroppings, and gentle change in topography, this parcel has some of the most scenic views from a property in Boulder County. This incredible property is a unique mix of natural beauty, wide-open space, and rich history across 56.71 +/- acres. What was once an active red rock quarry has now become a truly remarkable setting-peaceful, scenic, and full of potential. The land is a blend of rugged red rock formations, open stretches of native grasses, scattered trees, and softly changing elevations that give the whole area a dynamic, natural, and one of a kind feel. One of the most eye-catching features is the large natural pond on the Northern end of the property. Winding through the acreage is a thoughtfully established road system, making it easy to navigate all sections of the land whether on foot, horseback, or by vehicle. As you move around, you're constantly met with sweeping views in every direction. Longs Peak stands proudly in the distance, offering a postcard-worthy backdrop, while 360-degree vistas stretch across the surrounding hills and rock formations. The mix of terrain and scenery gives this place a true Colorado feel which is ideal for someone looking to build a dream home, create a private getaway, or own a one of a kind legacy property at the base of the Rocky Mountains. As you enter the property, you'll notice multiple improvements that add to the functionality of the Boone Quarry. The main modular house is 2,016 +/- square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, perfect as a full-time home or a weekend basecamp. There are also two big detached workshops, great for stashing gear, campers, or all the toys you'll want for exploring the property. Right at the entrance, you'll spot the original scale house from back when the quarry was still in operation, and further in, you'll find the old remains of a blacksmith shop-little touches of history that give the place its unique feel. The Boone Quarry is a true recreational playground where the possibilities for outdoor fun are just about endless. Whether you're into mountain biking, hiking, horse back riding, or setting up camp for weekend camping, this property has something for everyone. The natural terrain is perfect for ATVs, off-roading, and dirt biking, with plenty of space to explore and adventure. Visitors will appreciate the peaceful pond that's great for paddle boarding and kayaking-and with a little habitat work, it might even be developed into a private fishery. The Boone Quarry is a place where adventure meets relaxation, and every day brings different recreational opportunities.
