here
The
perfect combination of nature and luxury living
Boulder mountain real estate
Heaven on a mountain top
A number of people ask us why in the world would we be
moving out of such an amazing home like this one?
Except for a few scruffy realtors, everyone (including our current realtors)
thinks we are nuts.
We have lived in this wonderful house, which we love so much, for 15 years.
But it feels too greedy to keep it all to ourselves forever,
to not to share it with some other deserving soul.
It is time for someone else to enjoy the wonderful sunrises,
and the spectacular weather-streaked vistas,
and the feeling of looking out over the front range to the horizon,
a horizon so far away that the curvature of the Earth becomes visible,
just like it does to the shuttle astronauts.
The bowl of Boulder valley, making it seem not like we are looking out at the city,
but that we are looking at the city from above -
that's us, sitting here soaring over Boulder like free birds.
This is one of the best Boulder houses for sale EVER.
All the luxuries of the city - none of the problems.
Imagine if you will, a innocent looking table. Mahogany. Solid. Big. In fact very big and heavy.
Enter a couple. Kind of strange looking couple, but in other ways quite ordinary. They fight. They grumble. They laugh.
Spurred by a visit from Bill and Tim Goodacre, our realtors,
Today they discuss whether the table should be put into storage or not.
The table is from an antique dealer located in
Lyons
[one of those that has no prices on things, but instead
squints at us and decides if we are
poorly dressed millionaires or well-dressed bums,
and then splurts out a price which we then proceed to offer half of].
It is officially a conference room table that I
wanted to use for a desk.
That is before it became clear that ergonomically keyboards should down in the
lap, and not up on a somewhat high table.
I say Off With Her Head! I mean Out With the Table!
She says: The... Table... Stays.
But honey, sweetie pie, dear, darling
[She doesn't like me calling her sweet nothings when I
do not really mean it.
Like now.
So I am kind of asking for trouble here. :-)]
most people coming to see our home do not have conferences in their dining room
and it is so big
it prevents people from running up to the wall-to-wall windows overlooking
awesome cool deck
I... Like... The... Table.
And we can take it out the front doors,
or even out the back and lower it over the deck railing...
YOU HATE THE TABLE!!!
OK. me, I do not know how things go from "What do we do with the table?" to "Who likes the table the most?"
As of now. The table is still there.
And I do too like the table.
We've had quite a few showings now, for this economy anyway,
and everybody has been very nice. People do have questions, though,
and we will try and answer them here,
just in case my wife is not around and I am doing my absent-minded geek act....
which, of course, I am almost always am.
|
1. Air conditioning - yes we have a kick ass air conditioner that cools the top two floors. It is one of the biggest and quietest - because we wanted to be cool but not disturb anyone up here in the quiet mountains, including, of course, ourselves. |
|
2. GarBAGE pickup - yes we have, get this, pickup in front of the garage (off to the side) every week that the driveway is clear. It is picked up at the bottom of the driveway if it is really, really snowy out, which did not happen at all this last year. |
| 3. Snow plowing - first,
the county plows the roads up to Highview itself. The county is much MUCH
better at plowing roads than the city of Boulder. So it is easy driving
until you get to Boulder, then you have to deal with the situation there
like every other Boulderite. Second - one of our neighbors plows High View and the neighbors chip in based on each home's distance from the county-maintained roads and for 211 Highview that is about $180/year. Third, yes there is a third, we have a bunch of guys come up to do the driveway - we chose to do it only when it is above 6 inches deep - for $55 each time. They make short work of it - usually only taking about 5 - 10 minutes - and in the summer they run one of the most prestigious landscaping businesses in the area (they did the new multi-million dollar home at the corner of High View and Timber Lane). We average about 6 to 8 snows above 6 inches per year. |
| 4. Internet - because we have a Comcast cable T.V. hookup we have Comcast internet with is about 10 to 20 million bits per second - which is about par for 'high-speed internet' in the U.S. |
| 5. Natural Gas - yep, we have natural gas just like they do in town, and the heating is all natural gas and the barbecue on the deck is hooked up to natural gas provided by the city. No propane tanks, no nothin'. |
| 6. Water - we have water supplied by the local Pinebrook Hills water district. They get it from a new lake, a local river, etc. 211 High view does NOT have a well to worry about. |
 |
 |
| A lot of parasails today. About a mile away
is one of their favorite places to launch. Lots of hang-gliding sometimes
too.
|
|
These two were very close together for awhile, but don't you know it, the photos I took then were on the wrong camera setting. |
 |
| A few days later... an ordinary glider. |
|
Since we feel we are already up in the clouds, these guys are like our buddies - people who also enjoy seeing things from way WAY up and who, although enjoying a better view, no doubt, have to worry about landing... eventually. |
