Palacio Celestial A Legacy Estate Above Boulder. Welcome to Palacio Celestial, one of Boulder's most extraordinary and private legacy offerings. Set just 10 minutes above Boulder at the base of the Colorado Rockies, this remarkable 230-acre estate spans five contiguous parcels, three of which directly border Betasso Preserve: a 2,000-acre protected landscape with miles of world-class hiking and mountain biking trails accessible right from your property. Assembled over two decades and offered for the first time, the estate is anchored by an ~8,400 sq ft log residence that blends rustic grandeur with resort-style amenities. The grounds are designed for both recreation and tranquility. A 44' x 16' swimming pool is perfectly sized for comfortable lap swimming, complemented by two generators for peace of mind. A 3,000 sq ft deck creates a dramatic outdoor living experience, while a large built-in water feature at the entry, complete with three cascading pools, sets a serene tone with soothing, natural sound. Grotto-inspired spa retreat featuring a steam room, cold plunge, and large hot tub. A waterfall element feeds into the plunge, and a water feature above the shower offers calming ambient sound. Equestrian and land features are equally impressive. The fully fenced main house yard includes a 3-acre dog run, while a horse facility accommodates 8-10 stalls. The garage comfortably fits 3 vehicles, a covered carport, & expansive attic storage above. A solar array on the garage roof supports sustainable living. A secondary original log home with an apartment above the garage adds flexibility for guests, caretakers, or rental income. Two additional parcels offer future build opportunities, while a fifth is preserved under conservation easement. Palacio Celestial offers unmatched privacy without sacrificing access. A rare opportunity to own a generational estate where nature, luxury, and vision converge.
