8137 Oxford Rd

Description

In the 1880s farmers were drawn to the fertile alluviums alongside the creeks that drained the foothills; none more so than the Left Hand Creek which provided a reliable source of potable- and irrigation water. The original home on what is now 8137 Oxford Road, Longmont, is testament to this. The homestead is still in evidence, but it has been added to over the years while retaining much of the ambience of old. It is now an eclectic mix of contemporary and original in a cozy space comprising two bedrooms, two bathrooms and ample living areas. Outside, an old barn of 900 square feet provides adequate room for tools and equipment.

The land itself is a 5.4-acre parcel stretching from Oxford Road back to Left Hand Creek as its northern boundary. The creek and the high water table sustain a myriad old-growth trees that decorate the property and nurture a riparian corridor replete with wildlife. Water on the property is from three sources—the creek itself, a Left Hand domestic water tap, and a well. Two acres of fields have been planted to vegetables in the past and the infrastructure is beckoning a continued practice in the future.

The property will appeal to anyone looking for a smallholding near the city but with a rural essence as a place to forge a future where land is in short supply.
