For those who want to live in a peaceful mountain community away from the hustle and bustle of the front range but still be able to easily access nearby amenities, the Bar K Ranch is the perfect place to live. At a pleasant 8,600 feet of altitude just 16 miles outside of Boulder, the Bar K Ranch has clean air, starry skies, beautiful lakes and stunning mountain views. The small, tight-knit community consists of 51 home sites on approximately acre-sized lots.

Bar K Ranch residents live in a peaceful retreat that’s close to it all: Within a 30-minute drive, they can have a gourmet dinner in Boulder, enjoy a movie in Longmont or go climbing in Rocky Mountain National Park, all while living in a park-like setting. Bar K Ranch residents love their community and here’s why:

• They can step out their back door and enjoy hiking, fishing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or wildlife viewing, including elk and moose.

• Bar K Ranch is a close-knit community, in large part due to an active homeowners’ association. The association (optional to join), meets regularly, plans events and provides member amenities, such a stocked lake and stables: http://www.bar-k-ranch.com/ The Ranch has a spirit of community and comradery in an environment that also respects residents’ desire for space and privacy.

• Future development of the area is constrained by the surrounding National Forest, and the majority of the development has already taken place. Unlike other mountain communities, Bar K Ranch residents take comfort in the fact that the size and character of their community will remain the same for years to come.

• As most of the community is located on a school bus route, snow removal of the roads is well maintained by the county.

• The nearby town of Jamestown (population 300) includes a school, mercantile/ live-music venue and church, and hosts community activities throughout the year, such as the farmers’ market, picnics, parades, arts and crafts fairs, chili cook-off, holiday parties and concerts: http://www.jamestownco.org/
