Luxury and Value Just Minutes From Boulder in White Hawk Ranch

If you're headed out of Boulder going east on Arapahoe Avenue (Highway 7) before you get to the town of Lafayette you'll pass by a stunning luxury community tucked far off the beaten path and perfectly sited to capture those classic views of the Boulder Flatirons and snow-capped Indian Peaks. The community, which boasts a Boulder address and feeds to Boulder Valley schools, is called White Hawk Ranch and it's home to some of Boulder County's most architecturally stunning homes.

One of my premier Boulder listings, 1385 White Hawk Ranch Drive, is no exception. Located in the heart of White Hawk Ranch, this 8,174-square-foot home and it's 1.2-acre lot represent Colorado contemporary style at its finest with walls of windows, soaring ceilings, handsome hardwoods and a floor-to-ceiling great room stone fireplace. Designed by Boulder architect Karl Whitten, the unique floor plan offers the spaciousness of a ranch-style home but as you descend from the main level down the home's central spiral staircase, you are suprisingly welcomed by cascading levels that offer a balance between recreational spaces and private areas like bedroom suites.

The centerpiece of the kitchen is an incredible work of art – a hand-crafted hood designed by mathematician and Boulder business owner Demetri Coupounas and made by Boulder metal artist Jessica Adams of Living Design Studios. Constructed of copper, iron, bronze and stainless steel, its geometric design represents the concept of “Phi,” the golden mean most famously discussed in Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code.

As beautiful as this sprawling 5-bedroom, 6-bath White Hawk Ranch home is, what's truly stunning about it is it's price. This 8,174-square-foot home on more than acre is priced at only $1,795,000. Compared to recent sales in White Hawk Ranch, that's almost $100 per square foot less than the average price per square foot of homes recently sold in the community and more than $500,000 less than White Hawk Ranch's average sales price. I'm excited for the fortunate buyer who discovers this amazing home at a below-market price.
