Lyons CO, Lyons, CO 80540 - Boulder County

North Middle Fork Ranch (NMFR), 45 minutes outside Boulder between Lyons and Rocky Mountain National Park, is 600 acres of private, pristine and beautiful mountain land within the Roosevelt National Forest. Just off the dramatic South St. Vrain Canyon, NMFR lies at the end of a Forest Service Road and features undulating lush meadows, ponderosa and aspen forests, significant rock formations, and more than two miles of Dry St. Vrain Creek.

NMFR possesses unusual Boulder County-granted entitlements to construct sizable residential and recreational buildings. The owner may select any two of four outstanding surveyed building envelopes for improvements. On one site, a private residence and related buildings totaling 15,000 square feet are allowed; on the second site, the owner may construct up to 35,000 square feet of equestrian, agricultural and other buildings, including a 2,000-square-foot caretakers residence. A total of 50,000 square feet of buildings may be built.

In the context of Boulder Countys typically tight restrictions on any new homes in the mountains, these vested rights are extremely valuable. North Middle Fork Ranch represents a rare chance to construct - with minimized risks and constraints - a high-end residential-recreational compound that is both remote and within commuting distance from Boulder.
