‘Misfortune’ haunts this estate for sale in Colorado and needs a happy ending. See it

A fire in August 2022 ripped through an estate that sits among the trees in Boulder, Colorado, and now the home needs someone to step in and rescue what stands in its wake.

And it’s listed for $5 million.

“Misfortune becomes an incredible opportunity,” the listing on Compass says. “Located on a once-in-a-lifetime, 2-acre ultra-private and peaceful parcel in the highly sought-after Chautauqua area, the property offers the rare chance to restore a spectacular Boulder, Colorado home to meet your exact specifications.”

It goes on to describe the six-bedroom, six-bathroom home’s breathtaking location.

“Nestled on peaceful 5th Street, this extraordinary parcel boasts unimpeded city and mountain views and an exceptionally private location abutting City of Boulder land,” the listing says. “The handsome shingle and stone residence spans more than 10,000 square feet, creating an ideal environment for relaxing and entertaining.”

While there are no photos of the fire damage inside the home, the listing does paint a vivid image of the surrounding views and the size of the parcel itself.

It’s clearly an area where someone can build the absolute mountain dream home.

“Located in the gorgeous Flagstaff neighborhood, this one-of-a-kind property is close to numerous trails, parks, Chautauqua attractions and Flagstaff Mountain Summit venues, including the Sunrise Amphitheater, Stone Shelter and Nature Center,” the listing says. “The Fox Theater, CU Campus, Pearl Street and Downtown are all nearby.”

The listing is held by Zach Zeldner.
