This 323-acre property had been in private ownership until 2020 when it was purchased by Boulder County. It was homesteaded and owned by the same family since the 1880s. It is located less than a mile from the Town of Nederland and was one of the last remaining large undeveloped parcels of land in the area. The project is bordered by U.S. Forest Service land as well as additional Boulder County open space land, for a total of 28,717 contiguous acres of open space. The property is managed as open space and is open to the public for passive recreation.
