Yesterday we hosted a broker open house at 772 Circle Drive. It is listed for $5,900,000 and understandably, brokers and some members of the public at large wanted to see the epitome of luxury real estate in Boulder. We had well over 100 people come and the food started to run out around 11:30. The house got rave reviews from the toughest critics.
The day was beautiful and with all of the people the house really shined as a star for entertaining. People were eating and drinking up on the top deck, the back patio the east patio and near the lower fountain. The accordion doors were wide open, melding the kitchen with the deck. This will be an incredible home to the lucky new owner.

I had my first opportunity to go into the Fourmile Fire burn zone today. I visited the site of a friends home. As you can see it was quite devastating. Almost everything was charred but the birdbath and the saint were left standing. My friend has such a great attitude and is seeing only the good that can come from change. Where a door shuts another one opens.
She shared the following haiku with me, she did not write it:
Now that my house burnt down I have a better view of the rising moon.
It will take quite a while for the fire scars to go away but I have to say that I never looked at that parcel of land in quite the same way. It was exposed. The possibilities of the future were all laid out. Maybe not so pretty at the moment but in the spring the grass will come back up and in time trees.

At approximately 10:30 am on Labor Day a fire broke out just west of Boulder. In the dry conditions and strong winds the fire spread quickly. There has been no official count of “lost” homes but it looks like a substantial loss. One of our family friends rode up Sunshine Canyon with a Sheriff and found their house was burned to the ground.
Currently, there is a steady stream of air tankers shuttling between Broomfield and the fire right over my office. Hopefully, the fire can be brought to containment quickly before more people are displaced.
The picture was taken from my front yard in Gunbarrel yesterday. The sky had a red glow and this morning we woke up with the smell of smoke in our house.

Are you caught up in the hustle and bustle of life? Do you feel like you’d love to get away but it’s more
work than it’s worth? I have a new listing that would be a great solution. 556 Wild Turkey Trail is an idyllic mountain cabin right outside Boulder Colorado. The cabin sits on 4 private acres and has been lovingly cared for and lived in for over 30 years.
I know in some parts of the country that “cabin” is a euphamism for mansion. Well if you are looking for that type of “cabin” this is not your spot. This is a true mountain retreat, nothing fancy but oh so charming. Think Henry David Thoreau with a mountain view; a writers cabin, a place for weekend getaway. Sometimes you just need to reboot and unwind and this is your place.
The cabin has a great south facing deck where you can take advantage of the large view of Fourmile Canyon towards Boulder. The cabin sits on four acres of an old mining claim called The Lucky Hit. And that’s just what some buyer will be, lucky to hit upon this special place. It is just 517 square feet including the loft so it won’t be for everyone, but for someone it will be heaven on earth.
