Plan your sprawling, private riverside retreat on this fantastic 30-acre parcel offering over 1,000 feet of private frontage, on both sides of the St. Vrain River in lovely Lyons, CO - just 20 minutes from Boulder, 15 minutes from Longmont, and 50 minutes from Denver. Currently occupied by a modest home and three outbuildings, this ultra-rare parcel offers the ideal setting for a luxurious Front Range custom home and barn nestled along one of the prettiest roads in all of Boulder County. Apple Valley Rd is known for its stunning river frontage, beautiful views, and peaceful country setting. There are only a handful of properties that offer these features, and only one property with 30 acres of private land featuring mountain views, organic regenerative farmland, lush woods, over 1,000 feet of private river frontage, 170 Acre Feet of water rights, and acres of peace and privacy all in one idyllic destination.

This exceptional property provides a wonderful weekend getaway or full-time sanctuary, surrounded by breathtaking vistas on all four sides, including phenomenal sunrise, sunset and Steamboat Mountain views. Flanking the St. Vrain River, the parcel includes five acres of healthy grass pasture bordered by a cowboy fence and 10 additional acres surrounded by barbed wire fencing. The grass pastures have been used for hay production since the 1860s, while tall trees and wooded areas meander to a robust riparian zone along the river. The fishery has been professionally restored to provide an excellent riffle/deep-pool habitat with more than 3,500 fish per mile when last measured. In this bountiful setting, you’ll easily catch a dozen fish a day, some up to 26 inches long. There is also an idyllic small creek flowing through the woods as well as a small riverside pond.   Beavers, mink, deer, bears, bobcats, and the occasional elk or moose fill the natural surroundings in this peaceful location.

The property includes a large-production well with great water and old well water rights permitting irrigation use. One hundred acre-feet of Sosey water rights and 20 acre-feet of Dave Miller Ditch water rights are included, along with fifty acre-feet of storage water rights for a pond.  The irrigation ditches were professionally updated fully in 2018. The entire parcel has been managed with organic, regenerative farming techniques for over five years with no pesticides, herbicides or fabricated fertilizers.

Peaceful Apple Valley Road welcomes you home with a canopy of trees and the delightful arched trestle bridge that make this area a favorite among cyclists, hikers and equestrians. Adventure seekers will love the proximity to top-notch mountain biking trails, including Antelope Trail close by, and nearby rivers perfect for kayaking and fly fishing. In charming Lyons, you're invited to explore restaurants, local markets including the namesake St Vrain Market, Moxie Bread Co, a lively pinball arcade, a brand new well-regarded library, a distillery, the original Oscar Blues Brewery location, and the Lyons Planet Bluegrass Festival grounds.
